Our first week back!

Welcome back students and families! I am excited to kick off another great school year with your children. Students are learning their classroom procedures and reviewing HOWLs targets this week. Students have been filling out personal interest inventories to help my instruction be tailored to classroom activities. Students are also getting a handle on our new grading system in proficiency and standards. This year has many exciting changes, and we hope to maximize learning using these structures.
