Hi Everyone...one NYS test down and several more to go!

This is just a reminder that during your scheduled PD periods for the next two weeks you should be meeting with your Professional Learning Community to look at student work in order to see the results of your inquiry project for this year.

The next time we will meet for PD will be the week of May 17th. The week of May 17th and May 24th I'll be available to help you look at your data and planning for your group's presentation of data for Brooklyn -Queens Day.
