Every Wednesday afternoon, from 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm, Mt. Loafer teachers come together to think about how to best act on behalf of Mt. Loafer students.  Teachers look at student work, evaluate their lessons, and aren't content until every area of where students aren’t doing well is erased and we are helping all students really be successful.  Watch Mt. Loafer teachers in action and making academic decisions on behalf of our students!
