 Please remember...
  • Classroom movement is almost guaranteed the 1st 5 years, as we settle.
  • With this growth comes change. Change is good and requires flexibility
  • Over the next couple months, I'll be working with our teams to create a MASTER schedule for next year, starting with RtI and moving forward from there.
  • We will also have our duties and schedules before leaving for the summer.


*ELA Visit: Melissa Duncan will be visiting on the 28th from 9-11 for part 2 of my Benchmark training. We look forward to popping in once again and seeing your amazing work.
