Weekly Focus - Purposeful Instruction
Purposeful instruction takes a lot of preparation. For the remainder of the semester as well as the school year, I ask that you be purposeful, be intentional, in your academic instruction. Scholar focus comes from each of you and it is imperative that you guide scholars so that they can keep their eyes on their deadlines, priorities, their classroom goals and individual goals. Also by continuously doing this, you assist your scholars in being academically successful. This turns out to be the best gift that you can give for the holidays.
Data Driven Instruction
Remember to spiral in the low SE's and incorporate those on a continuous basis to assist scholars in remediating their deficiencies.
Debate Team Fall Tournament
The Debate Team will be participating in the Fall City Championship tournament this Friday and Saturday. If you are available to judge or simply come support we would greatly appreciate it.

Meals and snacks are provided for you, and a brief judges training will be held prior to the start of the rounds.
