A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
After a crazy week of heat, wind, and fire I am hoping this coming week is a calmer one. I am looking forward to our time together on Monday. The Joint team has worked hard to create an agenda that reflects your interests and request for time. Typically, LSS requires us to "grow professionally" in terms of staff learning on non-student days. However, I was able to get approval from Doug Johnson, my supervisor, to do something different. Doug is aware of how hard everyone is working to implement our SAI pilot and he appreciates our efforts on behalf of our students. This past week, we were able to visit several classrooms together and he was impressed with the learning going on - especially the differentiated instruction and inquiry-based science activities. He also loved to hear the band play in the quad before school - Thank you for that Gerard and Andy!
If you are here on Monday, please plan to join us for lunch in the quad at noon. We will be grilling burgers, and any side dishes/desserts you want to bring would be much appreciated although totally voluntarily.
Here is the agenda for Monday:
8:00 PTSA Donuts & Donations
8:10 Shout-Outs
8:25 Vertical Articulation (6-8) by Content Area
9:25 Break
9:40 SAI/Content Team Planning Time
12:00 Lunch and Games in the Quad
1:00-3:30 SAI/Content Team Planning (Continued)
Let's make it a great week!
