Celebrating Success
Oh my goodness what a great Panther homecoming week. Thanks everyone for your flexibility and good spirit last week. Thank you to James Ingram  and Paul Pavlich for preparing the delicious taco lunch that helped us make it through the wild week. Thank you to Gaby and Student Council for organizing each and every event during this high spirited homecoming.  Thank you to Dean Shaddy and the student production crew for an amazing day of filming...we are all anxiously awaiting the debut of the Coconino High school LipDub. Congratulations to our well loved homecoming dedicatees Daniel VanderValk and Karlyn Heilman.  Finally thank you to all the homecoming dance chaperones, who each deserve a medal of honor...
I hope you all got some rest this weekend.

PLCs
Thanks for sharing your PLC notes. It is great to see progress with everything from developing benchmark assessments, identifying students who need extra time and support and sharing effective lessons and strategies. Keep up the good work!

A little reminder from the Panther Tracks Team...
Remember teaching behavior is not apart from teaching, but rather a part of teaching

Hope you have a nice, calm academic week
