Professional Development
Peer Visits
- For our 4th quarter PD we have decided to make a switch to our approach.
- Each Teacher will conduce classroom visits to the grade above.
- Purpose: Vertical Alignment - As we prepare to have discussions about our school and how we can improve our instruction to help prepare our students for the next grade. Learn & Share - Opportunity for the staff to see all the great things going around the school. A great chance to see what other teachers are doing and steal ideas for their own classroom.
- Hopefully Brenda Martin was able to share the plan and schedule for our 4th quarter PD.
- Let's have a great visit.

District Information
As you all are aware, Dr. Gloria Jones has announced her decision to leave MGSD for an opportunity in Vance County Schools, NC. Whereas Dr. Jones will be greatly missed, we are excited and happy for her new opportunity and her ability to expand her career.
The position of EC Director has been posted and we will be taking applications for the open position. In the interim, I am happy and excited to announce that Ms. Robin Melton will be the iinterim EC Director until the end of this school year. Many of you remember Ms. Melton as the former AP and Principal of EMIS and AP at RRES. In addition, she comes to us with an extensive EC background from her work in Tennessee.
Please begin to copy Ms. Melton (rmelton@mgsd.k12.nc.us) on all EC related emails when
