Rewarding Growth

Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation play a role in shaping academic performance. NCES will be reinforcing the importance of student growth from one assessment to another. We will continue to talk to our students about their performance on their assessments and allow them, to have a sense of control over their learning. We will also reward our students' accomplishments and hard work. Please see the flyer below.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, love, and appreciation. As you enjoy time with family, food, and maybe football too, take a moment to be thankful for all of life's blessings. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
