Back to school

Welcome back Bulldogs! 

We are a week away and I wanted to take the time to share some important information with all of our students and their families. I have been working closely with our new assistant principal, Dr. Calzi, our new coordinator of learning, Mrs. Hugg, and our teacher leaders on the following building goals for 2021.

Building Strong Relationships

  • With the understanding that no significant learning occurs without significant relationships
  • Building a culture of care, by creating a “Care Team” where we can provide a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

Improving Instructional Practices in the Block

  • Implementing best practices where students can do their best work, and be their best selves.
  • Returning to normalcy with hands-on and lab opportunities, while differentiating our instruction within the block

Using Technology to Support Learning

  • Using technology and our digital classrooms to promote a consistent and supportive environment where all students can thrive.

As we move closer to the first day of school, I've included some important information below.
