I trust you had a wonderful break. We are at the start of Trimester 2! This is a great time to goal set with your student. Ask questions about what they have been working to improve and what they have done to be successful. If your student is not in an extra-curricular activity, encourage them to join one! This out-of-school connection is great way to increase focus and well as help your child meet new friends.

As a staff we will continue to look at student work and examine the complexity of the tasks/assignments. We plan to start the process of looking at videos to deepen our collective understanding of effective teaching.
A Leader's Oath
As many of you may know, I write as a pastime. The Catalyst Magazine published my latest essay. The central idea is based around the recent CPS scandal and the need for honest leadership. I hope you enjoy it.
