Dear Team,
We appreciate your patience and cooperation, while we navigated a new bell schedule and seemingly endless class change requests. The good news is - beginning Monday, all class rosters are set for the rest of the first term! Rest assured you may now prepare collaborative lessons involving particular student groupings, and you can actually implement your plan the next day! It's time to settle in and buckle your seat belts, because it's going to be one unbelievable year!

Beginning of Year Testing
Please understand that we will be administering math and language arts assessments within the first three weeks of school, in order to gauge where our students are academically. We plan on using these results to measure student growth throughout the school year as well as provide our teachers with information so they can tailor their instruction for each individual student. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or e-mail George or David.
Soroco Coaches Transform Our Students' Lives

Results from the Health Survey
Many students and staff selected eating healthier as their health goal for the year in the survey you all completed on the first day of school, and also stated that easy access to unhealthy foods was a barrier to success. Many parts of the school nutrition environment influence our food and beverage decisions at school. Removing access to unhealthy options throughout the school environment will help support us all in our quest to make healthier food and beverage choices this year. Thank you all for your help in making our schools healthy places to work and learn.
