Message from Mr. Perla
Pinkston Family,
Welcome back! I hope everyone spent time with family, friends and loved ones.
We have three critical weeks prior to our next holiday break. These next three weeks, you and your students will be working diligently to prepare for the ACP exams.
Reminders:
1. Ensure you are implementing the 11 minute protocol.
2. Ensure you are implementing the 4-3-2-1 protocol
I look forward to visiting your classrooms.
