Hallway Art Work
We have a commitment to clearly communicating learning throughout everything we do. One of the ways we do that at JME is by displaying the standards and context in which our hallway artwork aligns. Thank you for posting this important information with your hallway artwork. This communicates to the entire community what your students are learning.
Book Study?
1st Grade & 4th Grade will be doing book study this year as part of their professional learning goal. If you are interested in reading Classroom Discussions or another book please let me know. I will purchase the book for your team.
Question Persuade Refer
If a student discloses thoughts of suicide it is our responsibility to take that disclosure seriously. Ms. Flynn and I are here for a warm hand off. Want to know more about what suicide prevention work Clackamas County is doing? Click the photo.
