REAL QUICK:
It’s hard to believe that we only have FIVE more weeks before Spring Break! There is a LOT of instructional time that needs to be maximized between now & then! This is crunch time, & I know you are working extremely hard. Hang in there-we can do this!
We sincerely appreciate everyone’s hard work during our benchmark testing last week.
Important Information this week!
· Grades are due this morning to Donna, & Progress reports will go home tomorrow.
· Drew is out for training all week on Restorative Discipline.
· Team leaders will meet on Wednesday. If you have anything you would like added to the agenda, please have it to me by tomorrow. Design Team will also meet with Team Leaders.
· The name “Quad D teachers” has been changed to “Learning Coach.” Please note that change.
· Our RISE presentations should be wrapping up this week & next week – they have been beyond remarkable!
· Happy Happy Belated Birthday (yesterday) to our AMAZING KELLI SHIPP!!!
