I am excited to announce that Dr. Wethington will be taking
over our newly created kinder class. Dr.
Wethington is an amazing educator with a long history of serving the students
and families of HISD She began making
the transition this week, by observing her new teammates and familiarizing
herself with the kindergarten curriculum.
She is also in the process of putting her room together so that it will
be a warm and inviting place for her students. In order to create the new class, I chose
eight students from each of our existing classes by a blind lottery. Parents of students who will be moved have
been notified via personal phone calls.
In order to ensure that all students continue to utilize
technology, I have distributed the computers from the lab to classrooms. I
am also working to procure additional computers through HISD. It is my intention for us to have at least 5 computers
in every classroom so that teachers can integrate technology into daily instruction.
You can feel confident that students
will continue to have access to web-based programs that support their learning
and that we will continue to engage students through the use of
technology.
As always, I welcome your questions and feedback.
Thank you for your continued support.
