School Update
We've been back to in person learning for 2 days now.
It is good to see students and staff in the building.
We continue to provide support & quality instructions to our virtual students.
Took a field trip over to Westside to see how things are going over there. They are on the same schedule as Wesley.
PYP feedback from Dr. Satterfiled:
It's been great 2 days and the teachers are happy & excited to get back.
The teachers prepared the students very well for the transition to the in person learning.
MYP Feedback from Dr. Mason:
It was great seeing 6th grade students in person since this is their first year in MYP. The pod is going great. Additional staff is assisting with the pod due to limited onsite MYP faculty.
Ms. Jenkins question will be addressed outside of the board meeting.
