First Place Winner: Peighton Neuman Second Place Winner: Adoon Lucero Third Place Winner: Kylynn Meabon Alternate: James Worthy | | First Period Interventions | This semester, our teacher teams have developed additional academic supports for our students. As a result, we have made some changes to first period classes to provide students with academic interventions that will serve their unique needs. Some teams will be making informal changes every few weeks and some teams have decided to actually make an actual schedule change of first period teachers. These changes will assist our students by providing those who may need Language Arts or math interventions, an opportunity to work with that content area teacher during the first period class. |
