Road to Success SPOTLIGHT - STAAR Goals Night - 3rd - 5th Grade Teachers
For the past few years, we have focused a lot of our efforts on ensuring that our students show academic growth. This year we have taking academic growth to another level with ensuring that our students set academic goals and track their own progress towards meeting those goals! It was an absolute pleasure to include our parents in the goal setting process. Last Thursday, parents worked alongside teachers and their students to experience what it takes to reach those goals! Thank you to the following educators who engaged with parents during our STAAR Goals Night!
Mrs. Paolino, Ms. E. Harris, Ms. Verdun, Ms. McGee, Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. K. Smith, Ms. Trimble, Ms. M. Gonzalez, Ms. Medina, Mr. Velazquez, Ms. Cabrera, Mrs. Roberson, Ms. Bryant, Mrs. Wallis, Ms. K. Harris, and Mrs. S. Smith!
