Dear Families,
On Friday’s Professional Learning Day, our staff spent dedicated time engaging with the CBE’s Literacy Framework to continue strengthening our instructional practices and better support our students’ learning.
As we are now at the midpoint of the school year, this was also an important opportunity for reflection. We discussed what has been going well in our classrooms, where we are seeing growth, and how we can maintain high expectations while building on the strong momentum we have established during the first half of the year.
Our focus remains on ensuring every student continues to develop strong literacy skills across all subject areas. By refining our practices and aligning our work with the Literacy Framework, we are deepening our ability to support diverse learners and foster meaningful growth.
We are proud of the progress our students have made so far and are energized for a strong and successful second half of the school year.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
