Happy New Year fellow Coordinators! As we move into the new year and second semester, I encourage everyone to set some positive intentions with these growth mindset statements throughout the day.

baseline criteria for community schools and
let us know if you think we captured the minimum threshold of an emerging community school by responding to this email with your feedback.
