School Visit

Our math and ELA specialists from NHA’s Curriculum & Instruction (C & I) team, along with our DSQ, Special Education Supervisor, and School Leadership Development partner are coming to visit our school on Thursday, September 4 from 8:30-2:45.

The purpose of their visit is to determine how they can support teachers and deans with the following instructional practices:

• Creating a safe and supportive learning space 
• Greeting, class contracting, positive behavior system, CHAMPs, etc.

• Uphold the structure of the content block

• Engage in basic lesson planning and preparation 

We have notified those teachers who will be observed, however, if you see them around our school, please give them a warm Keystone welcome.
