Saturday School @ Creslane Elementary: With a Focus on Instructional Improvement

Posted on by
Creslane Elementary Instructional Staff recently came together on a Saturday to focus on instructional improvement

 
On November 2, Creslane principal Amy Halley, assistant principal Devin Pixton and teaching staff were hard at work collaborating and teaming together with the Lane Education Service District for instructional improvement.

Amy Halley reports, “Our school staff is dedicated and driven to do what it takes to continue to make Creslane a destination school. The partnership we have with the Lane ESD provides teachers with ongoing opportunities for professional learning.Due to previously scheduled professional development activities, Lane ESD was not able to fit Creslane into their work-week schedule, so they worked with us to create a special session on Saturday.

I couldn’t be more THANKFUL to work with such dedicated and caring educators including a village of committed teachers! This month when you visit with teachers at conferences please be sure to thank them for all they do for kids!”

On November 6, 2019, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm, Superintendent Michael Johnson and Lane Education Service District Curriculum Specialist Carlos Sequeira are hosting a community input session at the Creswell School District Conference Room, located at the Creslane Elementary School campus. You are invited to join in. The session is intended to hear about your needs, hopes, requests, and offers for student achievement and success. You all will have the opportunity to learn more about Oregon’s Student Success Act – a new law that provides an historic opportunity for our students, your family, and our educators. You will also provide input for the Creswell School District vision and strategic improvement plan for the next 5 years.

We need your input to help develop a plan to best meet the needs of our students and our community.

We will provide Spanish translation services, dinner and child care for the event. Dinner will be served from 5:30 – 6:00 in the Creslane Cafeteria.
