Happy Friday! It was wonderful to see students and families at school yesterday afternoon and earlier today for our first round of in-person conferences in two years! We brought back our traditional arena-style conferences for the spring and put the conversations in the hands of our students.
Our Independent Project work is in full swing as we learn more about our topics and start to put our learning and research into written form. Independent Projects are a process and that process looks a little different than a traditional classroom. Because of this, you may not see as many grades in the grade book until closer to the end of the term. Students should have a good idea of how they are performing based on mini conferences with their teacher, formative assessment results and teacher feedback. Because we also believe in being able to go back and make changes when possible, students will still have time to improve some grades before the term wraps up.
Thank you to those of you who have purchased tickets for our Back Together Again event on May 12. We are putting together some great silent auction packages and those will begin to be advertised in the Wave and inside of the school to get your kids excited. Come join us for a BBQ meal provided by the Lions Club, yard games, and a chance to gather and reconnect.
Finally, please join me in helping Ms. Mathis' final days at Three Rivers be her absolute best. Ms. Mathis has worn many hats over her time at TRCS and I cannot thank her enough for helping me get acclimated to my new role. Please see her message to you all below!
