Greetings Wildcat Families, 

Following up on last week's update, I wanted to share how our staff spent their professional development day on Friday. Our team engaged in valuable training focused on trauma-informed teaching practices, safety protocol updates, and enhancing small-group instruction strategies. This professional learning directly supports our commitment to meeting each student's individual needs while maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment. 

Additionally, many of our teachers will participate in the DISC conference tomorrow to explore current trends in digital teaching and learning, including effective ways to utilize AI in education. This training will help us continue to prepare our students for an evolving technological landscape while maintaining our focus on strong instructional practices.

As mentioned last week, we remain committed to using data to guide instruction while providing multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, including EOG retesting options. This approach helps reduce test anxiety and allows students to show their true capabilities. 

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. As always, please reach out with any questions.

Best regards,

Mr. Robinson
