As we continue into the school year, we're excited to look back at the amazing progress during the first nine weeks! Our Progress Report Video highlights three key areas:

📵 Cell phone-free classrooms leading to greater student connection and engagement.

🤝 Strong relationships that are building confident learners.

💡 Data-driven, standards-aligned instruction challenging and supporting every student.
