One week to go in the semester and I am truly amazed that we are here. Time certainly flies when we are busy and this year has been just that for all of us. From beginning a new school year on distance learning to our cohort model today, everyone has been enduring so much and that includes our students. We all have seen a significant drop in grades this semester and we know the learning loss is severe. Though we do our best to insulate against that, our students are still going to be met with challenges in the future. Once this pandemic is over and we have all received our vaccination, we can begin to recover from this mess. Just as with any situation, it is not what happens but how we will respond. With regard to student learning loss, our response is going to be vital. Not only scheduling students into credit recovery options, but working with them to make certain they get back on track. That is the challenge that lies ahead. With one week to go, let us get them to the fall semester finish line before we tackle the next. Have a most excellent weekend....Go PUPS!

Until next time...
