Dana Gray Teachers Attend the Mendo Woodlands Retreat

Thank you to our teachers for the work put into grading, providing student feedback, and meeting with parents at conferences.  A special shout out to FBMS 7th Grade team who tried a different approach to conferences this year by exhibiting student projects as a focal point for the parent conferences. I realize the work and thoughtfulness that goes into meaningful feedback! The feedback is much appreciated by our parents and students!
