On Friday, May 15 our teachers spent time together preparing for the end of this school year and planning for next fall.  A lot of careful thought and planning goes into making class lists each spring for the following year.  Classroom teachers collaborate with specials teachers, service providers and admin and look at students through myriad lenses to determine placement.  Some of the many things considered are: academic needs, student/teacher style fit, siblings, social/emotional needs, gender, additional services (speech, intervention, sped, gt, etc).  Much of our Friday PLC time this week was spent doing this important work; we want to set up all our students for success in 2015-16!  We are following a new protocol for class lists this year.  If you have a concern about class lists, direct it to Principal Lea – not the current classroom teacher.   These decisions are made by teams, not individuals, so please help us by following this protocol. 

In addition, DPS honored several of our staff members with years of service pins.  Did you know we have five teachers who have taught for Denver Public Schools 20 years or more?  Congrats to the honorees, we are lucky to have them on our staff!
