Welcome back to 3^rd Quarter!  We are back in the swing of things at Independence! Hopefully we won’t have too much snow this winter. 

The teachers and students in our community continue to amaze me with their hunger to learn.  This year, our Professional Development focus is mainly on Intervention with some Engagement woven in. Through our Professional Development on Engagement, we have learned some different types of collaborative structures and team building ideas for the teachers to utilize during their lessons.  The teachers and students are enjoying the collaborative structures and team building activities.

We appreciate the support of our parents and community members.  We are very fortunate to have parents that volunteer on a regular basis.  There are many ways to be involved and to volunteer your time.  If you are interested in getting more involved at Independence, please contact your child’s teacher.  We always need volunteers!

I hope that everyone has an awesome quarter that is filled with new learning.

Sincerely,                                             

Ms. Allen
