Elementary Update – November 8th
Sandy Sheppard, Elementary School Principal
Dear all,
Another busy week here in the Elementary School. We have been busy with professional development. This week we had Linda Henke working with our early years teachers/teaching assistants on Reggio Emilia and coming up over the next few days we have Adaptive Schools training. We all enjoy learning here at ISY.
Have a fabulous 4 day weekend.
Sandy Sheppard
