As a reminder please be sure to note that this week there is an early out on Thursday for training. This weeks training will help provide an introduction to personalized learning. We will embark on this adventure in the Spring. As we begin this journey it's important for you to know that we are in are all in this together. There is no defined GPS set for this journey but we will navigate this journey together. As with anyone that has used a GPS we may have to reroute but that's okay as long as we end up at the same place which is garnering success for all of our students. As we have stated in our belief statement all students can learn, achieve, and succeed. As we reevaluated out belief statements at the beginning of the year we discussed our beliefs as it related to students learning in different ways and at different rates. Also that students deserve appropriate services and resources to help them succeed. On Friday, September 29th the Districtwide Inservice will take place with the state conference. There is no sign up for Friday however, for the remainder of the weekend events there are sign ups. Each of you are expected to be in attendance for the Professional Development Day.
After a long day of Professional Development bring the family out and join PTSA for the dinner and movie night. Even if you don't want to watch a movie why cook when there will be several food trucks on site to prepare you a delicious meal.
