Slater Nation Newsletter

Happy Friday Slater Families!

Today was an exciting and eventful school day! Students participated in a Veterans' Day assembly in the morning (with an amazing speech from Lieutenant Robert Dornfried of the Rutland 572 Brigade Engineer Battalion) and a PEP Rally in the afternoon. The PEP Rally hyped our Varsity Football team up for Saturday's Division II State Championship game - GO SLATERS!

Have a great weekend!

We're very proud of our FHU Athletic Leadership Group! They recently represented Slater Nation at the annual Athletic Leadership Conference.

FHUMHS teachers have been focused on INSTRUCTIONAL RIGOR. Teachers have developed goals using the 5D+ instructional model, many are partaking in personal professional development, and the high school faculty have been engaged in defining rigor using John Hattie's Visible Learning research. Several department meetings and full-faculty meetings have led to the following major focus areas listed below. We were excited to run a day of professional development addressing many of these topics at our last in-service meeting.

The new "Inside the Classroom" section of our weekly newsletter will be dedicated to sharing the most important aspect of Slater Nation - how we elevate the learning experience for all of our students.
