We will also participate in ongoing district professional learning with PLO/APLO, administrative GTES Calibration sessions, ELA Boot-camps, QPTS, and Data Talks with teachers to monitor student achievement gains.

Each and every student deserves access to a high-quality curriculum and rigorous/relevant coursework and enrichment activities.
