Superintendent Dr. Cave visited our elementary school to check in with new teachers and calibrate our buildings. During her visit, Dr. Cave stopped by classrooms to see our students engaged in STEM, imaginative play, vocabulary development, and more. She also joined our 5th grade teachers for a progress monitoring meeting focused on student growth and ensuring we stay on track to meet our goals this school year. For Dr. Cave, these visits are about more than observing, she wants to ensure each student and teacher has the tools and resources they need to flourish.
La superintendente, Dra. Cave, visitó nuestra escuela primaria para reunirse con los nuevos maestros y evaluar nuestras instalaciones. Durante su visita, la Dra. Cave pasó por varios salones para observar a nuestros estudiantes participando en actividades de STEM, juego imaginativo, desarrollo del vocabulario y mucho más. También se reunió con nuestros maestros de quinto grado para una reunión de monitoreo del progreso, enfocada en el crecimiento estudiantil y en asegurar que sigamos encaminados para alcanzar nuestras metas durante este año escolar. Para la Dra. Cave, estas visitas son mucho más que una simple observación. Ella quiere asegurarse de que cada estudiante y cada maestro cuente con las herramientas y los recursos que necesitan para prosperar.

Over the course of the promotional exercises, there were several wonderful performances. Some of our first graders presented a liturgical dance, while our kindergartners carried the rest of the program with their songs, poems, and pledges. It takes courage, confidence, and dedication to stand before an audience and perform so well. We are proud of each student for sharing their talents and helping make the ceremony so special and memorable.
