Patriot Pride
August 27th - September 4th
Press On
Thank you for an amazing first week of school!!
The first day was epic!! Parents were excited to walk into the campus and drop off their children. ALL children were accounted for and no major issues AT ALL during the first week!! Kids were excited to come back on on the second day of school and every day this week.
Please continue this momentum moving forward. We have a full 5 day week ahead of us immediately followed be a 4 day week. Please continue to plan ahead using backwards planning from the end of the Unit and Common Assessment planning for grades 3rd - 5th.
We will start PLCs tomorrow and PD weekly on Mondays after school.
Continue the intentional engagement of students so we make this year the best year at Preston Hollow.
Onward!
1st Week in Review
Students were greeted by teachers every morning at their door way!
Morning Meeting was implemented in the class rooms.
A successful Fire Drill was executed without issues.
First week visit by Executive Direction and Central Academic Coaches went VERY WELL!

Please be prepared to share out what has been effective in Small Group Instruction, and areas we can improve. Different ideas could focus upon - student station grouping, teacher small group setup, effective station transition, alignment to 6 week unit, etc.
