Home Stretch!

We are in the home stretch! There is not a ton of new information to share this week, but each school has ALOT going on. Therefore, please take the time to read your admin's weekly update (Week Ahead or Monday Memo) to ensure you stay up to date with all of the end of year activities going on! I will try to keep the EduGATORs short and sweet.

April/May Instructional Vision Challenge!

We will continue into April and May with the last opportunity to share how YOU are implementing a part of our instructional vision.


This month's focus are the fifth two bullets in the instructional vision are:

  • Students will know what they are learning and why they are learning it.

  • Staff will empower students to know what and why they are learning.


Staff are invited to fill out a brief (2-3 sentences!) summary of how you are implementing this part of our vision. It can be specific or general, and it should clearly describe how your actions are moving this part of our instructional vision forward.


Here is the link to share!

https://padlet.com/ksmidy1/april-may-instructional-vision-challenge-t8m7i9h8aot0argp


To add to the board, click the plus sign in the bottom right corner and write in your submission. Finally, hit Publish and voila! You're done!


Staff who share how they are implementing or supporting implementation of the last focus area of the instructional vision by May 31 will be entered to win a $50 gift card to one of the following locations: Carms, Common Table, Moltenbreys, Amazon, Big Y, Dunkin or at a place of your choice that I can get a gift card with relative ease 😂
