The Challenger Dispatch
Week 2, Sept. 29-Oct.3, 2014
Instructional Rounds
Thank you to everyone for welcoming the district teams into your classrooms last week. I am excited to talk with you on the 15th about the results and next area of work. While I am proud of Challenger students, community and staff everyday, I was particularily pleased with the general impressions from our visitors. While we were looking closely at feedback, there were several comments about what an open, welcome feel we have here, that students and teachers seem happy and active in classes. AWESOME job doing your everyday AWESOME job!
