Kudos to Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Charlotte for their fantastic work planning and organizing Foreign Language Immersion Day. Thanks to the support of all of the faculty, our students enjoyed one of the best versions of this event in our history.
The faculty and I moved on to a very productive Faculty Retreat on Friday. In addition to working through the details of the remainder of this school year, we were able to do some visioning about the future and some reflection on the practice of Mastery Learning. Many thanks to all of our families for allowing us such important time for professional development.
