The best way to beat the heat is with a Kona Ice treat! Thanks to Kona Ice for stopping by Ankeney Middle School today!
Today was a great day for learning as we had various staff professional development going on. Our BHS teachers learned about ways to use data to inform instructional strategies. Our middle school teachers spent time collaborating to learn more about the characteristics and needs of our students and how we can better support them, and some of our elementary staff spent time learning more about emotional intelligence.
Ankeney Middle School 6th graders, and other students new to the school, enjoyed meeting new friends, touring the building, and learning all things middle school this week!
Join us tonight for Open House Night! Each of our buildings will host an open house for students and parents to stop by and meet teachers, get acquainted with the building and classrooms, and get ready to start the school year off next week.
Ankeney Families - Please check out our Welcome Video for this school year. Happy August!
