Dear Rocky Run Families,
Welcome fall! Tomorrow, Friday, September 22 is a Student
Holiday and School Planning day for staff. We hope you will enjoy the
long weekend with your family. The weather has been gorgeous lately and I
hope you are able to be outdoors and do the things you enjoy doing
together!
Have you ever wondered what happens at Rocky Run while students
are home from school? Tomorrow, Rocky Run teachers will be participating
in a half day professional development workshop with the entire Chantilly
Pyramid group of teachers (over 800) at Franklin Middle School and Chantilly
High School. From preschool to 12th grade, teachers will be building
connections, sharing resources, and participating in meaningful conversations
about the teaching and learning happening in classrooms with a focus on the
FCPSOn initiative. This professional development opportunity is expected to
facilitate collaboration and networking across schools. I look forward to
sharing our work with you on Twitter. Please follow me @DrGoodloe and all
of the good things happening @RockyRunMS.
Please feel free to reach out to me with your feedback, questions
and suggestions. I hope to see you at Rocky Run MS very soon.
Amy T. Goodloe, Ed.D.
Principal
Rocky Run Middle School
