No fog this morning allowed for very productive PPL time!  

This week the Building Leadership Team (BLT) in each of our schools met with the primary purpose of reviewing our State Report card, which was released by Ohio DEW on September 13. Each BLT chose an area or two to focus on for improvement this school year. The BLTs also reviewed their Building One Plans and goals to be sure the goals are in line to address the focus areas. While the BLTs were meeting, the other members of the teaching staff were involved in student-based team meetings, where the focus was on a few specific students and what interventions/enrichments are needed to help those students find success (academics, attendance, behavior, social/emotional needs...).     

We are working to improve our lines of communication between the District Leadership Team (DLT), BLTs, and TBTs so information from representatives of each of these teams is carried back and forth. During the second session of PPL, TBTs reviewed details from the State Report cards, as well as grade-level specific information.

Our paraprofessionals met with Mrs. Barnes, Special Education Director; and continued their Conscious Discipline book study this morning. 

 It was a very productive start to the day for PEVS!
