Weekly Update for September 9th-13th

Good Morning!

We hope everyone had a great (extended) weekend :)!  Thank you for your input in team growth meetings last week.  It really helped us to see and understand where each grade level is currently.  There are some AMAZING things happening at Gordon Parks Elementary!  This week we will both be out on Tuesday to attend our monthly KC PLUS PD.  Please let us know if you need anything.
