Safe Schools Week was last week. This week every year affords a great opportunity for districts to bring staff, students, and law enforcement together to be active participants in the important work of violence prevention and school safety. Thank you for coming, Officers.

THANK YOU to our small group of parents, teachers, and administrators that participated in last week’s DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion) Committee Meeting! Although this work can be challenging since we all bring different perspectives to the table, I can’t think of anything more important to support our diverse community. The goal for our meeting was to engage in book talks surrounding our Elementary Inclusive Lending Library, specifically focusing on the state standards for reading and to evaluate text complexity (or simply put, the narrative’s ability to foster deep learning at a particular grade band). I can’t begin to say how WONDERFUL it was to see everyone unpack these texts together and to engage in meaningful conversation about the illustrations & vocabulary, and about text features such as genre or author’s purpose.
Red Ribbon Week is next week. Thank you for your participation! Please see flyer for details.
