PLC Day

Why do your kids get out of school at 2:18 the last Tuesday of every month? The answer is for something VERY important!!!  The teachers are meeting in professional learning communities. In these meetings teachers get to work with their grade level peers and in vertical teams (with teachers from other grade levels.) Each year the grade level teams set goals that they want their students to meet throughout the school year. We also have two school goals. The first is that we will comprehend what we read (READ, READ, and DISCUSS books with your child!!) and the second is that we know our basic math factsJ
