Monday Memo (COVID-19 Edition #5)
Week of May 4-8: CES Newsletter for Teachers & Staff
Week #6 #ONEcentral #staystrong
Hello Panthers!
Week 6 is here! We are celebrating the amazing job you have done conquering COVID19!!
We had a congratulations to staff from Mr. Kenworthy! He was impressed with our numbers of students who have contacts each week and who are receiving academic instruction online! Way to go Team CES!
We also had several parents talk about how this year has been amazing and how much they have enjoyed the recognition of students this year even if this was a very strange and unique year. One parent told me she realized flowers are not enough to give a teacher...they have felt a taste of what it is you do with children and they felt flowers was just not enough. They needed to step up their game, lol. And we had parents who said they will totally be like the meme below come August... (pulling them out of the car, one parent said slow down and kick them out).

APPRECIATIONS
Our Commitment and Pledge to Central Instruction
Together we commit to working hard to make sure instruction and assignments are both rigorous and engaging. We will continue setting the bar (grade-level standards) high and placing that intellectual lift on our students. This is the key to mastering complex material.
Time and time again, research has shown that when students are given access to four critical classroom level resources, they can and will make BIG academic gains.
- Grade-appropriate assignments (Rigor of the Standards)
- Strong instruction that lets students do most of the thinking in the lesson (facilitate with probing questions- most of the talking should be the students)
- A sense of deep engagement in what they're learning
- Teachers who hold high expectations for ALL students and truly believe they can meet grade-level standards (Set the bar high)
Every student will receive daily access to challenging, engaging, and grade-appropriate work. With each day that passes we will refine our skills to the best of the best in our profession! We will focus daily on what our students are learning and doing, we will strengthen our belief about what students can accomplish.
Together we are committed. Together we are Central. We are #ONECENTRAL
