Students will be visiting with caregivers, running simulations in their state of the art SIM lab, visiting the innovations center (research facility), and even having lunch in the room next to a quantum computer! They will also learn about the hundreds of careers that exist within this large hospital system. Thank you to Career Specialist Amanda Jaronowski and CVCC who made this experience possible!

Over the past several years, our math department has been working within the existing schedule to add support for our advanced and gifted students. As our student needs are changing, our middle school is being responsive to those learning needs.
Our math teachers, Mr. Vanek, and Ms. Wargo (Gifted Coordinator), set out to understand where we were and how we can leverage our student data to improve where we can be. Our teachers met weekly to create a roadmap to explain math placement and help students and parents understand how best to support their student's learning.
This work is still in progress and growing. As teachers work through the process we are seeing the need to develop math courses that are advanced for the grade level; not just subject-level accelerated. We are impressed with the content knowledge, focus on student needs, and work ethic of this group of teachers. #DidYouKnowFridays
Bethany Majeski from the Cleveland Metroparks visited our IPS 3rd grade as part of the @CVCCWorks Career Speaker Series. She spoke about careers in science and brought critters for our students to see!
