Message from Mr. Perla
Team,
Thank you for your patience and flexibility this week. We lifted a mountain by closing out Cohort 2+3 college courses and completing our Spring administration of the STAAR exams. Through our intentional approach, I am confident our students will demonstrate gains and high levels of mastery. I am excited to share the results in two weeks!
AP Testing and Cohort 1 college courses are still taking place. Although we have completed our STAAR administration, we have not concluded the year. Please ensure we are still delivering high quality instruction. I will be conducting and finalizing extended and summative reviews this week.
