Principal Ponderings: Pour Into People
"Relationship is so important" and the concept is universal in any language. Relationships matter. Other people matter. Adults and kids alike. Enjoy the day tomorrow and pour into our students and staff as people first and students and staff second. Take some time to reflect on the last couple of weeks, review where you've been as learners, and share the plan for where you're going in the coming days and weeks.

Resources Worth Sharing
USING GOOGLE FORMS FOR FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
"Many teachers are already using Google Forms because they’re easy to create and use. We can use them to gather important information from students such as contact details, food allergies, and health issues, as well as fun tidbits and other details students wish to share. We can also use Forms as a formative assessment tool."
