Hello! It's great to see you all back in the building with our students.
Please DO invite your colleagues and administrators into your classrooms and shops to see the lessons you've planned. The most efficient method is to send an email to the staff.

Welcome Back !

As we get into full swing after the break, this is a great opportunity to review your students' grades now that we are a few weeks into the second semester.

Winter Sports are coming up and it is a great time to make sure your students are eligible to participate.
This is a great way to motivate your students to improve their grades, and with a few weeks to go it may be less painful for everyone to address it now.

Now would be a great time to re-think what goes on your whiteboards. Good Objectives help keep your students on track.

Also, the feedback you give your students whether it is written on an assignment, verbal or other linguistic clues go a long way in motivating your students to learn.
