Dear Parents,
I have been really pleased with the performance of our students and teachers as I observe in classrooms. Technology is being integrated like never before. The Smart boards and slates are in use regularly by students and teachers. Soon I will begin to observe use of the student response systems, or clickers. The clickers allow students to answer quiz/test questions simultaneously, and the results are displayed anonymously on the screen. This gives the teachers immediate feedback and allows them to see which items need to be addressed the most. We are coming to the end of the 2nd grading period. I encourage you to monitor the grade portal and stay in contact with your child’s teacher via the student planner (or agenda).
