Jessica continues to show exceptional dedication as she grows her role to best support students. She has shown great leadership in developing individualized interventions tailored to the specific needs of each student on her caseload. This student-centered approach reflects Jessica's genuine care and concern for the success of her students. Thank you, Jessica - toot, toot!" THANK YOU FOR BEING AMAZING, Jess!

Monday, September 23 -

I am out at a conference on Monday. Amanda Andrews will be covering for me. Please be aware of this as you make requests for support - some things may need to be handled in your classroom.

October 14 - Indigenous People's Day:

On October 14, we celebrate Indigenous People's Day.  Last year, there was law established around all students receiving 1 hour of instruction around this day.   Our Teaching and Learning team developed some resources in a shared folder - Indigenous People's Day Folder.  Please plan to do some of these activities on Monday, October 14. 

Reminder - Fall Data & Responding Meetings Next Week

Starting 9/25, our teams will meet to look through fall data to plan for core instruction, as well as tier 2 and 3 supports.  Please see the linked document for more details.  Students will be in the Learning Studio South watching a movie while teacher teams are meeting to plan for instruction.  More to come - reserve the date/time!
