Better Together
Weekly Message
Welcome to the end of the 1st 9wks! You did it!
It has truly been a pleasure seeing how our teams incorporate a growth mindset during our team and campus meetings! Liz and I had the chance to sit in some of our committee meetings this past Monday and we admire the creativity and ideas that our Evers staff brings to our school! Continue to try new things and remember that our students are truly fortunate to have you as their teacher!
This upcoming Monday, we will not have a staff development meeting after school. Our leadership team will still be meeting on 10/19 from 3:25-4:30 p.m.
Thank you for navigating through this complex work. Take some time to re-energize and decompress this weekend.
Enjoy the cooler weather! - Talia
