We've kicked off 21-22 with the universal language of the Olympics! Students love to read, write, and speak about their favorite athletes. And our word wall keeps growing! Favorite new word - underdog! Stay tuned for pics from our own class competition next week! #MMSESL

@mrskidscount @EldaPrincipal @MrsMartinSmiles Fingers crossed for spring!

@bethkingsley13 I'm loving the new 3rd grade distance learning templates you are using. User friendly and visually appealing. Well done!

Today, we announced turnkey waivers for states to bypass high-stakes standardized testing during the #COVID19 national emergency so they can instead focus on the immediate needs of their students and educators.

When your SS teacher @Mr_Henry125 assigns a historical fiction novel and your Language Arts teacher is @jennrettig and she knows you prefer paper books and she just happens to live nearby... the paper book appears! Talk about above and beyond #BetterTogether @RossMiddleRAMS!

Your students loved seeing you live yesterday @KoriWoodrum. Thanks for connecting with them this way! #bettertogether @RossMiddleRAMS

@RoniCarpenter5 Would you mind forwarding that email so I can take a look at the materials?

[Emily Pate @Mrs_ePate]

@RoniCarpenter5 we need to discuss this during our virtual department meeting.

Exploring MCS provided RLE resources. Soaking in the practical tips, but being mindful this-
"Remember learning, even in Virtual School is about relationships. So check in with your students. Ask them how they are doing, what they might need..." https://t.co/7tIsP3KZcZ

She’s the only friend I’d skip school for.

@NWLSDSupt Thank you for testifying. Thanks for explaining how the law drains public dollars to pay for religious education. The representatives needed to hear this fact. Paying 40 employees to work for parochial schools is a perfect example of the problem. #protectpublicschools

Be sure to educate yourself on important issues in your community before heading out to vote this March! #beinformed

On March 17, 2020 MCS will be on the ballot w/ a critical operating levy. If we fail, this will be the 2nd levy failure in a decade & our quality & reputation will change. Learn about cost structure changes & program reductions should the levy fail.

Three cheers for Jason Reynolds!!! 📚

Excellent kick-off to @MMScomets One School, One Book program today! Handing every student a new book about such an important person and topic was so powerful. #yourstorymatters #masonmoment #OSOB

"Ohio vouchers are used almost exclusively for private religious schools (97% in 2015-16)." Let that soak in for a minute.  https://t.co/pAIUrICkmE

Paper tower challenge during Comet Culture time today. A great wait to think about the importance of pressing pause when faced with a challenging event. #cometculture
