Weekly Update #9 October 26, 2025

Diverse students

Leveling Up Culturally Responsive and Engaging Pedagogy "With a Little Help from our Friends"

District Intended Outcome: That we maintain the high performance of students meeting and exceeding district standards/expectations, increase performance of students performing below district standards/expectations, and reduce the predictable performance gap between groups of students performing at or above standards/expectations and groups of students performing below standards/expectations.

Our Educators and Students are Doing Amazing Things!

Bus Driver Appreciation
Check out the fun and spooky decorations at the Transportation Department in honor of School Bus Drivers' Day on October 15th! Our bus team have been great sports dealing with their temporary relocation to the Transfer Station while Garfield St is paved.
