Administrative Message:
Greetings Staff,
Please keep in mind that school is not over yet! We have made many strides thus far and must continue to finish the race at a steady pace! We conducted a Learning walk on Monday, May14th. Evidence from the from the most recent Learning Walk and school wide disciplinary referrals, indicates that learning targets are not being used consistently, students are not aware of their learning targets, they are disengaged, there is a lack of differentiation and rituals and routines are not consistent. Please review the Learning Walk data that is posted in the Learning Walk/Walk Thru section.
The lack of high quality instruction, expectations and students' safety has led to a significant decrease in the students' engagement, serious injuries and an alarming amount of behavior concerns. We would like to remind you the importance of continuous planning and preparation for engaging activities for all students, monitoring students through-out the day, minimizing student transitions throughout the building with adult supervision or use of hall passes, and holding students accountable for school wide expectations.
Arts & Music Celebration
A Special thank you to The Arts Festival Committee, Ms. Schramm, Ms. Ellingham and Mr. Stepping and Ms. Frank.
