Second Grading Period

It seems as though every article on twitter recently is in regards to student behavior!  I think across the country we are hitting the PEAK!  We all cannot wait for Fall Break!  I have continued to email these articles to myself in hopes of sharing them with you, but as I comb through 150 emails everyday I remind myself they may get lost in translation!  So....I have embedded them into this week's blog.  I promise they are worth your time to peruse!  I personally find myself reading in all of the wrong places, specifically while driving!  Enjoy!

*I have professional development information to share and updates regarding our school grade.

** I understand not all teams print out progress reports, but I want ALL students to pull up their individual grades on STI.  Student need to take ownership in their academics and we must teach how to do this.
