February 10, 2022
Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
As you know, last Friday we had a professional development day for our teachers. Aligned with our Strategic Plan, teaching teams spent the day working together through the Collaborative Action Research for Equity process. A few weeks ago, our teachers shared their first semester findings with each other, and it was amazing to hear their thoughtful reflections and action steps as we work to bring out the brilliance in all of our children.
Last Tuesday was Lunar New Year, and as I observed in different classrooms throughout the week, it was amazing to hear students' insights, reflection, and learning! Our students are amazing, and I'm so grateful that you share them with us each day.
This week is National School Counseling Week. Please join me in recognizing Sra. Moore at PSI and all the great counselors across our our country as they work to help our students learn and grow.
Have a great week, and keep reading!
Sincerely,
Corey
