Earlier in the week, SCPS held the first National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) cohort meeting for teachers pursuing certification in 2024. Recent NBCT recipients, Anna Breland of CHS, and Zachary Bartemy of SCTHS, attended to share their experiences pursuing certification in 2023; offering valuable insights, encouragement and Q&A time for this year's cohort of SCPS educators pursuing certification. Thank you for your commitment to pursue the most respected professional certification available in education designed to develop, retain and recognize accomplished teachers!

Here are our new DIS vocabulary words of the week! In an effort to improve our vocabulary usage across all grade levels, we have created these vocabulary cards for our school and families to use at home and in the classroom.

This week's words are inspired by the Disney movie, " Elemental" Thank you for your continued effort in supporting our students' education!
