Just three more wake ups, Raytown Schools. Make today count!

Started the day at RQSSpringValley to drop off a few donuts to Principal Gabbert. 👏🏽 This site had ONE student who didn’t complete ONE of the NWEA assessments this window. EVEY OTHER COUGAR completed all benchmark assessments! So very proud. 𝓓𝓻. 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓹𝓮 𝓔. 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓲𝓷-𝓚𝓷𝓸𝔁🎶 Chris Greiner Dr. Anthony L. Moore

Wow wow wow — If you want to see a true PLC in action just visit the RQS Robinson Elementary teachers. I had a great time visiting Collaborative Teams today. I heard lots of talk about instructional MOVES rather than just tools. Impressed. 𝓓𝓻. 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓹𝓮 𝓔. 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓲𝓷-𝓚𝓷𝓸𝔁🎶 Chris Greiner Jessica Bassett
