A message from the Principal.
These past few weeks have been busy but very productive. On November 5 and 6 our Instructional Leadership Team received Training from Dr. Keith Young on how to improve our Instructional focus on writing. The Social Studies department has also completed a formative writing assessment that helped prepare our students for the Quarter Two Writing Prompt. We completed the Writing Prompt last week and our teachers scored the writing samples during our Early Release Meeting on December 4.
We would like to thank Mrs. Angel Canto, Assistant Superintendent for NUSD, for her help the last several weeks. Mrs. Canto went to the School Improvement Training in Phoenix with our Instructional Leadership Team on November 13. She helped us put together our plan for success for this school year. We have also received help from Dr. Meg Cota, Program Specialist with the Arizona Department of Education. Mrs. Canto also led a group of Secondary Administrators from NUSD on a Walkthrough of Wade Carpenter. We observed classroom instruction and student engagement in our classrooms. Wade Carpenter Administration shared these results with the teachers during a Staff Meeting on November 27.
On December 5 and 6 our Intermediate English Language Learning students completed the Mid-Year AZELLA test. We are excited for our students and know they will be successful.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Feliz Navidad y gracias por todo!
