As we head into break after your hard work preparing kids for FA 2, I want to encourage you to consider the accommodations you will create for kids who didn't make growth.  Take a look at this tweet below.

With #NoExcuseNovember in full swing, don't allow their failure to become an easy excuse that prevents you from coming up with a response that better meets their needs.  I appreciate you!
