In the U.S., gumbo is the top national soup, a thick spicy soup from Louisiana. Clam chowder is another. France is into soup in a major way.

Did you know that unrecognized or untreated health conditions can limit a child’s ability to learn? School health screenings are an effective way to promote health, detect impairments and prevent future health problems. Early identification of health conditions through school health screenings can lead to an effective treatment and can prevent health issues later that may impact learning. Healthy students are better learners. Students in grades K, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are strongly encouraged to receive vision and hearing screenings and students in grades K, 2, 4, 6, 8 and one grade of high school are encouraged to receive blood pressure (BP) and height/weight screenings. Oral health screenings are also strongly encouraged for ALL students. A caring school health professional taking the time to screen for these types of conditions can result in positive health and educational outcomes. We're happy to provide these services, in our schools at NO CHARGE. Insurances are not billed for these services, either!

According to state statute and policy, each district and charter must implement one model of individual growth for non-tested teachers. Scores generated by peer reviewed student growth portfolios represent 35% of participating teachers’ LOE within the state’s TEAM evaluation model in lieu of individual TVAAS scores that teachers in tested courses generate.

The physical education student growth portfolio model was designed through a collaborative partnership of teachers, district leaders, retired teachers, and university employees in 2013 and implemented in 2014.

The Physical Education working group, comprised of educators representing diverse school settings found across the state, collaborate to develop the scoring guide for the middle school model.

As educators explore and implement the contents of the following materials, it is recommended that they do so within a professional learning community (PLC) or other collaborative group that focuses on long-term and short-term planning, ongoing formative assessment, standards-based instruction, differentiated and targeted instructional practices, and student work. The art of analyzing student work when grounded in collaborative thinking, self-reflection, and differentiated instruction can have a profound impact on student academic growth.

After our lesson on pumpkins at Rural Vale Elementary School, we divided into groups to separate seeds from pulp for roasting. This tangible project was embraced wholeheartedly by students as you can see
