Sheldon Middle School

This week at Sheldon Community Schools

20 of our staff members attended the PLC Conference this week to learn more about implementing the PLC process (Professional Learning Community). The PLC process allows for our teachers to improve their practice to impact student's achievement, all through working in collaboration with each other. Our staff is excited to take what they learned back to their PLC teams and implement these practices when the students come back.

Teachers and Administration have been busy working on the final adjustments to the schedules, classroom set ups and curriculum for the school year. We are excited to have our students back in the buildings starting August 23rd. #LeadonOrabs
