Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
#OnwardAndUpward
Team Columbia:
This week we received the wonderful news that we achieved one of our school-wide goals which was to be removed from the "Failing Schools" List. It was truly a school-wide effort to overcome and finish victorious. We should and will celebrate this accomplishment. It is truly a testament of what can be done when we all work toward a common goal. #OnwardAndUpward ....And Still We Rise!
We had a great visit on last Wednesday from the district walk-through team. I will be meeting with the specific teachers that were observed. Overall, the feedback was positive. Below, you will find the Walk-through Summary Report. We will discuss more in-depth at Faculty Meeting.
I am a very proud Principal leading a talented and dedicated faculty and staff. Keep up the good work!!
Have a great week of teaching and learning!!!!
