The Academy Weekly Memo: September 25-29, 2023
Together: "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." — Phil Jackson
I. Praise and Thanks:
- Thanks to everyone on for exemplifying a big part of our Portrait of a Lab School Team Member during this past Curriculum Night: "Be a team player who is committed to doing what is best for students." I appreciate the collective effort from everyone to work together as a team in getting input from our parents/caregivers for the Title I Parent Compact.
- Please send me names of those who are demonstrating excellence with our Portrait of a Lab School Team Member/Educator and I will make sure to highlight their efforts here.

C. Conference Opportunities:
- There are two conference opportunities coming up for this school year.
- If you are interested in attending or presenting at the State Math Conference or NCTIES.
- Currently, I am gauging teacher interest in these professional growth opportunities. If you are selected and approved to attend or present at a conference, then you will be required to formally share your learning experiences at a Faculty Meeting.
- Below are the links to the upcoming conferences:
