Preparing with the End in Mind
We are already off in the second week of the 2nd 6 Weeks!! Its almost the middle of October, we have parent conferences this week and will be distributing Report Cards as well. We are definitely taking strides to our Campus Priorities of: Student Achievement, High Performance Culture, and Branding.
Our PLCs and Data Meetings have focused on identifying areas of growth and strengths in specific TEKS for student achievement. We have rehearsed diagramming (unpacking) standards as well. As we intentionally plan for student instruction, we also need to be mindful of the upcoming calendar dates. As a reminder, this is week 2 of '5 Weeks' for this grading period. The end of the of this grading period is the last week of October. For reference, we will have Common Assessments in 3 weeks from Tuesday.
Onward!
