INSTRUCTIONAL UPDATES
This week's instructional FOCI: Reflection (Implementation of New Learning)
Thank you 3-5th Grade teachers for your IAB Reflection Sheets.
In recent weeks, we have been able to continue the PDSA cycle, by stopping to reflect, and develop action plans based on time with our Primary Promise Team, Intervention Coordinator, TSP Coordinator and Math Coach. This week, we will focus our visits on seeing how this reflection has informed your instruction, as well as viewing how classes have been been impacted by the recent Professional Development.
SBAC After School Bootcamp
This week, we will begin our 5 week SBAC Afterschool Bootcamp.
4th Grade students will dismiss at the Main office entrance/exit. 3rd and 5th Grade students will dismiss by the Nurse's office entrance/exit.
Please be sure to pick up the students on time, so you can begin the learning at 2:40 PM.

OPERATIONAL UPDATES
Lock Down Drill
A drill of any sort is meant to provide information and show ways to continuously improve the safety procedures of the school.
In this weeks lockdown drill, we were able to have all teachers report within 10 minutes. This is a drastic increase from our last lockdown drill which took over 20 minutes, and we had many pending staff to report. We thank you so much for all your hard work!
Please provide feedback related to our March 16th lockdown drill. LINK
