Undercover Spirit Day brought an extra layer of fun to the final day of our first Instructional Leadership Institute!

Instructional leaders spent three days collaborating, learning, and planning for the 2026-27 school year. The institute focused on strengthening instructional leadership, enhancing Tier I instruction, refining classroom observation and feedback practices, and developing site-specific plans to support student success.

We look forward to seeing these plans come to life in our schools!
