Hello Roderick Community,

On Tuesday, Roderick teachers used the Professional Development day to dig deeper into the new Common Core State Standards.  Teachers spent time during the day working with Math Coach, Dr. John Ribiero and ELA Coach, Dr. Judy Neville.  In addition, teachers worked with their grade levels to develop grade level SMART Goals.  

On Wednesday, the Student Council met to accomplish a variety of tasks pertaining to some upcoming school events.  During the time on Wednesday, students made posters for today's Breast Cancer awareness day, created boxes to collect food for November's Spirit Day, developed a computer Voki, and composed a reminder note for Term I's Spirit Day. The group is full of great ideas and energy!

   

Our school celebrated Grandparents'/Special Person's Day on Thursday.  Many thanks to the guests and visitors we had at the Roderick School.  Special thanks to Alisa West and the members of the PTO for their support on this day.  Enjoy some of the scenes from this day. 

In honor of Breast Cancer awareness month, our students and staff were encouraged to wear pink.  Thank you to the Roderick Student Council for spearheading this important event.
