Administrative Message
This will be another 4 day week for our students. Where is the time going? The days and weeks are swiftly moving and before long it will be time for the break. There are a few key items that we must keep in mind:
- Are we maximizing our instructional time?
- Is bell to bell instruction occurring?
- Are we providing good first instruction?
This week we will continue the focus on student work and alignment. School Leadership will be conducting campus learning walks this week.
On Friday we will begin planning for the 3rd six weeks by creating our IPC's.
