It has been an exciting beginning to the 2008-2009 school year. Friday, August 22nd was our first day of professional development across the district and we saw wonderful teamwork and collaboration. Elementary grade level teams and secondary departments worked on PLC foundations such as vision, mission, values and goals. Team norms were reviewed/revised/established. SMART Goals for the new year were developed. New instructional materials and technology resources were previewed. In my visits to different groups I felt a positive energy that I hope will translate to an enthusiastic start for students. Today has been our "Day of Technology" with a number of topic-driven sessions and open labs to allow teachers to work with Data Director, School Loop, and other technology tools. The Special Education team held a group meeting that was very well-attended.
