"Captivating Every Student, Every Day!"
Staff Survey and Student Climate Survey Reminder
- "providing a safe and welcoming learning environment"
- "embedding social-emotional learning strategies into the K-12 curriculum"
Therefore, the Leadership Team would like to collect some data to drive our programming and professional learning needs in relation to Compass to 2020 Goal #3 about Social Emotional Learning. We know how very busy you are, but if you could allow your students (grades 2-5 only) to take a School Climate Survey by next Monday afternoon we would greatly appreciate it!
Brooke Martinette has kindly put the link on the students' Symballoo. It should take no more that 10 minutes, and you can have them rotate at the computers in groups. (See student Symaballoo for a link to the survey.)
We would also like your input on what you think Trantwood's needs are to become stronger socially and emotionally and how best we can meet them. Please answer this survey below by end of day Monday also. Your answers will remain anonymous. Thank you!

Thank you for all you do! Please see Mrs. Lee if you have any questions.
Kudos - singing the praises of our staff :)
Congratulations to Kathy Dungan for receiving a grant for $4500 from the Education Foundation. Fourth graders will be learning more about oysters next year! I love months that begin with R. :)
Thank you everyone for your continued help and support with SOL testing. It has been a smooth ride so far!
Happy Birthday
