September 2022

 

September has arrived and we take time to remember the events of 9-11, celebrate the arrival of autumn, and honor the achievements and contributions of Hispanic people and their culture.

Schools have now completed the back to school welcoming of students.  Now focus must shift to assessing student's grade level performance in order to prepare lessons that will help address achievement gaps and elevate struggling students up to performance level.

September 2017

School is back in session again following the Labor Day holiday.

The first full month of education brings with it Back to School Night, Hispanic Heritage Month, CAASPP Results, and a pause to honor, remember, and give our respects on September 11.

By now: Classrooms should be arranged, Teachers should have established their daily rituals, and Students should be settling into their day to day routine.  In addition, there is much learning that has been going on too in these first few days we have been together.

It is also a good time for teachers and students alike to make sure that everyone is still riding that Back to School wave of positive energy before its momentum fades away as waves tend to do.  

There is much work to do, and though school has just started, if we do not establish good practices early on, before we know it it will be fall break, followed by winter break, and then 2018 and then another year will be over.

Let's all together set course towards the same heading and support each other so that we may reach our educational goals and grow a bit along the way.
