Focus

I hope you are taking time to  enjoy this beautiful weather! That is one of the ways we take care of ourselves! There are lots of studies that show that simply being outside can lead to health benefits, not the least of which is an improved mood. We all need that with Spring Break coming later this year.😎 Shout out and endorsement for Mrs. Critcher and the Walking Club!

But I digress...
This week's post is about focus. Sometimes it can seem like there is so much coming at us. At principal's meeting this week, district leadership shared their renewed emphasis on coherence and focus on the Core. All of the things that we have discussed this year, fit there. When we talk about unpacking standards and creating standards aligned assessments (or using those already created) first, that is Core. (School Improvement Goal: Teams create units aligned to standards) As we get better at delivering the best Core instruction for all students, we can eliminate the need for as many students to progress to Tier 2 and Tier 3. (School Improvement Goal: Sharing student's progress and what they can do at home to help with that)


Please know that we will continue to focus and deepen our knowledge and efficacy around this work.

So glad to see Mrs. Downend is still doing great things!
