A Message from Lisa
The Math Coach, Melissa Hardin, will be here on Thursday. She will be observing in Math classrooms to see where she can help us most.
We will not have a faculty meeting on November 12th as planned. We will take the first hour of Staff Development Day on the 11th to cover pertinent topics.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Lisa
