School Letter Grade
I expect that our current school letter grade, along with those of the
rest of FUSD, will probably hit the front page of the newspaper later this week. I have been "fighting" for point for these past two weeks. Yes, one point. I am still waiting on Dr. Hagstrom to see if our EL data is indeed correct as it is (we have a one student discrepancy. Yes, ONE STUDENT). You see, this is very important to me because WE are on the cusp. We are 3/4 of a point (0.75) away from a B. I want it! I want it for you! I want it for our students! I want it for Marshall! I have NEVER been content with a C (as you clearly heard in our very first staff meeting). We are NOT average. I know what it will take to be a solid B! We will get there. Only now I want Marshall to jump from a C to an A in one year! Very achievable when we put all of the pieces together! Together, we rise!
End of the quarter thoughts...
I am blow away by the pace of this school year. I feel each week goes faster than the one before and all of the items on my "to do" list sit unfinished. I feel behind. I feel, at times, overwhelmed. I see that in many of you, too. You are powering through a new ELA curriculum. You are setting high expectations and adjusting your behavior and academic plans to meet the many needs of your students. You are building relationships with students and their parents. You are pushing students in their Tier II reading interventions. You are patient, you are professional, you are AMAZING! I see it everyday and I don't get a chance to tell you nearly as much as I wish. Thank you for making this quarter successful for students, parents and fellow staff members. You are on the front lines of something truly remarkable. "What are you teaching the world?" - Kid President
