Welcome Back

We want to welcome back all of our staff for the beginning of the 2009-2010. This is a year to celebrate our successes and embrace our challenges. While we have much to be proud of from the 2008-2009 school year, there is also much room for improvement. We will continue our work with Marzano and Technology and add to it a focus on Teacher Directed Reading. We will implement a new Teacher Evaluation Instrument from DPI; increase the emphasis on Professional Learning Communities (PLC's); and make greater use of both the classroom walk-through process and EVAAS data. We are welcoming many new faces this year so be prepared to embrace these individuals into the Speas family. We will gather together next Monday, August 17, at 8:00 AM. We look forward to seeing each of you then.
