Student Growth
As an educator this should be one of our favorite times of the year. This is when we will witness the greatest amount of academic growth in our students. The January to April window is when the work that you have put in thus far will start paying off in academic growth. More and more students will start meeting or approaching grade level standards and you will see the students grow right in front of your eyes.
Please continue to academically engage your students and remember that time is the most important asset we have--we either use it wisely or we loose it. This is a school of great teachers with great collaboration going on and our students are getting smarter because of it.
