This school year, the Voices of D303 Podcast is taking you inside our classrooms, to hear from our educators about their work in advancing the D303 mission of: Together, Building Pathways to Excellence.

In this episode, we navigated the teeming Thompson Middle School hallways. There we talked with 8th grade teacher Sandy Ishaq’s and Principal Matt Clark about the critical middle school years and the importance of the "teaming" model. Learn how Thompson educators work together to support and provide students with individualized attention while also fostering independent learning and growth skills, along with the challenges posed by Thompson’s exceptionally large (nearly 1400-student) enrollment.
