Wednesday Collaboration

We will meet in the North Training Room. If you are still working on ACAP prep, please bring your binders.

ACAP Practice Test

Teachers in grades 2-5: Please include in your parent communication that we will do our practice ACAP testing on February 12-15. We will simulate the real test, so we are asking that check-ins and check-outs be avoided in the morning if possible. I will provide a modified PE schedule for that week later on this week.  There will be no specials on the 12-14 so specialist teachers can test some of our small groups.

Thursday Afternoon - Early Release Time

We would like to welcome Dr. Martin to Paine Elementary on Thursday afternoon.  

He will meet with our faculty and staff in the North Training Room beginning at 2:15. 

We look forward to hearing about some important updates.

Leadership Trussville will be visiting our school on Thursday, March 14th.  More information to follow soon.  Please go ahead and update the student work outside of your classrooms. Let's show all of the incredible learning happening at Paine!
