Kathy has been working very hard at meeting the individual needs of our virtual learners in 4-6th grade. Her families continue to express their gratitude to her for her friendly customer service! She is doing a great job!
Lindsay Novotny
Lindsay has transformed our Title I Reading Program! She works very closely with the Title I Reading staff to ensure they have the proper training to offer evidence-based reading strategies. She is closely monitoring progress and making modifications to individual instruction on a regular basis.
Sara Heise
The Emotional Intelligence (EQ) lessons in classrooms are truly amazing! Each week every student in the elementary school has been introduced to different strategies that inform them on how to be the best version of themselves. Sara designs lessons that grab the attention of the students and allows them to put their practice into play.
Leslie Foley
Leslie Foley has done an amazing job redesigning our Title I Math program. She is working solo to provide high-quality math intervention to Kindergarten-4th grade students. She regularly uses data to inform her decisions on how to best deliver instruction that meets individual needs and our students are making great gains in math!
Andrew Bergmann
Andrew Bergmann is leading the staff on instructional technology. He has embraced this leadership role and has been very supportive and helpful to the entire staff for face to face learning and also remote learning. He has also been a huge support for NWEA testing that is taking place this week.
