Week at a Glance

A Message from Fitz:

Scorpion Staff,

Welcome to Academic Week #15! Another week down in the books.

Formal Observations have started and the Admin Team has seen great engagement and teaching taking place. Remember, if you feel you need a few more weeks before we observe you please let your "Observer" know.

This week is a short one with Parent-Teacher Conferences and Veteran's Day, so make sure to plan well and keep our scholars engaged to avoid classroom disruptions due to the crazy week. If you need any of the Admin Team to join a Zoom Conference please let us know as soon as possible.

Once again I would like you to know that we appreciate your hard work and dedication to making our students and campus successful this school year.

Have a great week Scorpions!!!🦂🦂🦂
