Back to School...
Monday we will have a minimum day and your student(s) will be released at 12:00 pm. The teachers will be having a staff development day and will be planning out the rest of the school year as it pertains to common assessments and analyzing data from the assessments, adjusting curriculum and reteaching those areas that need support. Though on the surface this may seem simple enough, it can take a long time in planning, instituting, evaluating and reflecting and planning again and again or as it can be called, the continuous teaching and learning cycle.
The middle schools have set aside five early release days for this and other purposes and during three of the five, all three middle schools work together on common core curriculum and teaching standards.
