Hello everyone! You may or may not be aware that I was out for the last 2 days, so my apologies if you are awaiting my response for something. Please know that I am on a leadership committee for BCM that meets monthly during the school day, and also in a math cohort that requires me to meet 5 times a year during the school day. Let me reassure you that your child will be under the instruction of a consistent substitute with a well planned day.I definitely do not like being away from my students, but the time away is a benefit for your child as we increase the rigor to align our curriculum and teaching practices with the common core standards. I will do my best to update this on the blog under important dates so that you know when I am out.
