October 1st Student Learning Sub Committee

There is a Student Learning Sub Committee meeting on October 1st at 6 pm in the NCS Media Center. From the email:

The Student Learning Sub-Committee gathers information and makes recommendations about the school’s curriculum and other educational issues.  In 2008-09 we will establish the framework to advocate for curriculum innovation, become a portal for parental learning, and foster a strong parent-teacher partnership.  Our first meeting will an open discussion on how we can move from ‘Good to Great’ in student learning.

I encourage anyone who’s interested in molding our curriculum to please come.

Below is a link to a tool from the AJC that allows you to compare CRCT scores among Georgia schools.  We had a rougher year than I thought.  Keep in mind that the test changed and all of Georgia had it a little rough.

Georgia CRCT Scores 2008.

Let’s work together to make sure everyone at NCS continues to get a great education!
