Hello Warriors! Due to weather conditions, the After School Program/21st Century and Track Practice have been cancelled.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Our school has been selected to be part of a program to help underperforming schools, at no cost to the school or district. We will be partnering with Ed Direction (www.eddirection.com), a school improvement consulting organization headquartered in Salt Lake City since 2007 with a track-record of success helping many other schools around the country to improve. We have worked with Ed Direction for 3 years and our partnership includes a comprehensive needs assessment/appraisal, development of 30-, 60-, and 90-day implementation plans, classroom teacher and leadership coaching, professional learning for our staff, and consistent progress monitoring to make adjustments as needed. Ed Direction will be interviewing teachers and other school staff, and conducting focus groups with students. The information gathered will assist us in making decisions that will help our school in the improvement process. As part of this process, we are inviting parents to participate in a small group discussion over Zoom. This parent meeting will be facilitated by Ed Direction to ensure that parents’ comments are kept confidential. Parents’ and/or their students’ names will not be used in the any report and their responses to questions about the school will be entirely confidential. The small group discussion will take approximately 30-minutes and is scheduled for: Wednesday, April 7 at 6:00 PM CT. Link: https://zoom.us/j/9729981342
