Core Values Tables
Last year we collaboratively create the 3 core values proficiency tables. While we are still in the exploration and piloting phase of the core values tables, we wanted to share the links so all staff and begin to further review and dive into each one. Our intent is to explore in the Fall and pilot with one section of students in the Spring.
Social Emotional Planning Group Summer Work
This year has been unique in many ways. We are seeing the variety of Social Emotional Needs among our students and staff that we have not encountered before, as well as exemplified needs. We would like a group of educators to come together this June and plan activities, supports and key lessons to support our students and staff when we return in the fall. We would like the planning team to meet June 2nd from 9-11:00 at the Meredith campus to discuss and create ideas. If you are interested in this small gorup work, please email Sarah Mumm or Patrick Raleigh. Thank you!
