Foster Youth @ Root

In reaching out to our foster youth family, we were able to celebrate that 2 of the 12 students have been adopted.  Working with our foster families is always very rewarding!

Writing @ Root

Twenty-two classrooms were visited with a focus on writing.  Seventeen classrooms had writing posted, most was current within the past two weeks.  Only 7 classrooms had rubrics posted.  As a staff, we had a conversation about the importance of current writing with rubrics.  One week later, the same twenty-two classrooms were visited and all had current writing with eighteen classrooms having a rubric posted.
