Secondary School Library News!
Arts Week!
Student of the Month
One teacher wrote: This student is always striving to do better. She asks incredibly relevant and mature questions for her age. She always goes back and does her summary for her notes, which tells me that she's going back and reading over them again. I don't think it's about the grade for her, I think it's about making sure that she understands the concepts. That is an internal drive that is integral to an IB Learner!
Teacher of the Month
One teacher wrote: This teacher is an incredible addition to our science team! She is constantly planning and reworking her lessons to better reflect her students needs. She asks a lot of questions and is genuinely interested in improving her practice. She is a great teacher.
