DLT Update May 13, 2024

 

Monday, May 13, 2024

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of last week, our two NEASC Visitors, Howard Thiery and Susan McKinney, had the pleasure of getting to know our school community. The schedule was packed with meetings that included elementary and secondary students, staff, faculty, parents, leadership, and board members. The NEASC team provided us with highly valuable immediate feedback, with a much more in-depth report currently in the preparation phase. 


Not surprisingly, our visitors had an abundance of wonderful things to say about our school! They were also very astute at identifying areas for growth and have already begun to offer support in developing continuous improvement plans. 


A huge and deeply heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you. We look forward to sharing the key takeaways from the visit prior to the end of the school year. 


Learning & Teaching Highlights

  • Visiting Grade 1, French, and Tech Classes - seeing our students highly engaged in the learning process!

  • Holding the first half of our TeachMeet on Wednesday where teachers provided snapshots of their professional learning journey this year for their colleagues - WOW! This was a wonderful success and we look forward to hosting TeachMeet Part 2 before the end of the school year. We have an amazing teaching and learning community with much to CELEBRATE! 

  • Establishing which course will be modified and/or added in the secondary school.

  • Planning parent coffees this month to ensure clear communication: ES on May 17th, and SS on May 24th


Thank you for reading and have a fabulous week ahead!

From creative academic showcases and experiences to meaningful moments of celebration, our campus has been alive with purpose, pride, and joy. Impactful teaching and learning continues to take place throughout our campus. A couple of examples this week include high school Social Science students engaging in interview simulations with outside guests - a meaningful real-world experience that will surely yield long term impact. On Wednesday afternoon, our Middle School Math Fair took center stage for the first time—and what an outstanding debut it was! Students presented impressive projects inspired by Bolivian culture, with models of cholets and cable cars that demonstrated not only artistic vision but also deep mathematical understanding. They explained challenging concepts such as area, perimeter, surface area, volume, and pi with confidence, creativity, and clarity. It was a true joy to witness how this ...
