Notes from the Principal's Desk
A ton of activity is on the horizon for students and teachers alike. We welcome these new opportunities with joy and excitement. As of this week, we are also in a favorable position to have our first schoolwide benchmark complete for Math and ELA. This data puts our school in a prime position to begin the real work of setting individual goals, planning for our student's needs, and providing "Just In Time" interventions in the classroom. Content CPT this month will be an excellent time to review student data by school, by grade, and by class, discussing trends and interweaving these with your own observations of student work and learning. Take time now to make adjustments where you need to and harness the fresh wind in your sails!
