Spanish Class

We are excited to be able to offer our students a new after school opportunity. Spanish Club will be held on Mondays beginning on February 26th. The K-2 class will be held in the Media Center and the 3-5 group will be in the music room.  

Lexia Implementation

We are ready for your students to use Lexia anywhere! I will be pushing out a message to parents explaining how the program works and why it is so important that students complete the levels independently. Please keep working to encourage students to meet their minute goals each week. We are working to schedule a date in mid-March for grade levels to work with the Lexia representative to learn more about how to use the data available on your dashboard to drive instructional practice. We will have roving subs that will allow for your team to work together throughout the school day.  

Looking for someone to take the lead on our staff Variety Show dance - PLEASE - this is not my wheelhouse, but I promise to dance!
