First Things First: Pre-K and Kindergarten staff attended a session with Dr. Jim Harris to discuss Positive Behavior Support as school teams today. Behavior will be critical to address as we “get students back in the game!” #MCSgetbackinthegame
Assessing MCS students: Teachers, grades 1-10, had training on using a diagnostic for beginning, middle, end of year to assess if students are performing at grade level. It’s vital to make data-based decisions for instruction and interventions during the day and after school.
MCS collaborates with WVU Extension Service for WV Cardiac Project, K, 2, and 5, as well as Nutrition Classes, grades 3- 5. The latest addition is Meadoe Richards, NMHS grad and Agriculture student at WVU, who will begin Aug. 16 to work in MCS. https://extension.wvu.edu/marion
