W.R. McNeill Elementary School
* Leadership notebooks are an
important part of our students'
learning. Every child,
kindergarten through fifth grade,
has a leadership notebook. These
contain tools and data used by
students to set and help them
achieve academic and personal
goals.
* They include things such as
grades, letters from the teacher,
mission statements, behavior
logs, goal sheets, and calendars.
Each grade level's leadership
notebook is different according
to their students' needs.
