James Cullen, Grace director of student of services, has developed a wonderful newsletter on a variety of topics designed to help your student with study skills and acheive success. Click here to read this month's Spring edition: Ladder of Success.
Additional Grace news: Notre Dame hosted the last Grace in-service. All ten schools sent their teachers to Notre Dame on March 9th for a day filled with educational sessions. The teachers learned about I-pads in the classroom, social and behavioral development of Middle School students, more about the Daily Five reading program, and web 2.0 tools. Many teachers found the day productive just to share ideas with colleagues at their grade level and in their content area!! Thank you to Kay Franz at St. Bernard for organizing the day!!
