The Friday Forecast

Today, the Walnut High School staff came together as a staff for a professional development day. Our staff spent the morning reviewing our WASC goals, instructional strategies, and collaborating as a team to find ways to improve as a school. The middle of the day was spent by professional development breakout sessions focused on improving classroom instruction and culture. Finally, a much needed "Get up and Move" activity was put on by our PE department, emphasizing the importance of getting outside and moving around.
