Such a special way to celebrate our graduates! 🎓

[Mrs. Wood @GotBulldogPride]

Be still my educator heart! We love celebrating our La Quinta High graduates! Our Bulldog led them through the hallways as we grabbed hugs and gave high five for their accomplishments! Such an exciting (and emotional) event! 💕 #BulldogPRIDE ❤️🐾 #congratsLQHS #DSUSDPride

#LQBoysWaterPolo getting it done vs Tahquitz in the 1st Rd of the #CIFPlayoffs vs Tahquitz winning 13-7 great job! #LQPride #TheBlackhawkWay @BlakeArthur24 @DesertSunSports @takesbytal

[Blake Arthur @BlakeArthur24]

GAME WINNER: La Quinta goalie Joshua Conway converts the cross-pool heave in the final seconds to give the Blackhawks the 13-12 win over Xavier Prep. Saints suffered a similar defeat to PD just last week. Wow.

Spring isn't sorcery. It doesn't "make" students behave poorly...other things do...thing we can own and change...#THATSchool #StartWithTheCROWN #RuthlessEquity #Equity #atplc #TeachTimmy #PLC #RTIAW

[Tiffany Norton @tiffany1norton]

Congratulations to John Glenn Middle School! They took 1st place in the overall tournament! @BotballRobotics @DesertSandsUSD

When looking at your next step, it's not about taking your classroom and totally transforming it overnight.
It's acknowledging how one thing you're doing is excluding some learners. And then minimizing that by providing a different pathway for your students say, tomorrow.

Our @CtrEdEcon #nisl culminates in a consultancy protocol on individual/team action learning. THIS is how we bridge research and practice. How often do teacher leaders➡️directors synthesize their learning? Happening now in @DesertSandsUSD #learningtoleading

[Janice Case @JaniceMCase]

So much to learn across 24 days…now to consider how we’d are already and will turn #learningtoleading. Our @DesertSandsUSD #dsla group are well equipped!
