Starting at 3:45, please go to the
staff lounge to sign in, pick up documents, and grab
some snacks. Our staff meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 pm in the
technology room in the middle school hallway.

Staff Meeting Agenda
ABCDE Goal-Behavior
One of our school goals is to decrease our total
number of student behavior counts by 3% from 2,416 in the
2024-25 SY to 2,344. One way we can achieve this goal is by consistently
recognizing and recording positive student behaviors. Every staff member is
expected to enter positive behaviors. Classroom teachers should enter at least one positive behavior per
student each trimester for their homeroom. Specials and auxiliary staff should
enter positive behaviors for their caseloads, or for a minimum of 25 students
per trimester. This initiative is powerful because it
reinforces positive choices, motivates students, and fosters a classroom
culture with fewer disruptions and greater focus on learning. Your efforts are
making a real difference in our school community. Thank you for everything that
you do that embodies our Core Value “behave with
care.”
Workshop
As a reminder, students are NOT required to do Lexia nor Dreambox
every day during workshop. The maximum number of days that we require per
digital tool is 2-3 times a week (K-5) and 90 minutes a week (middle school). Please reference this table for your specific grade level requirements.
Students may do other things during their independent workshop time. We
strongly encourage providing students an opportunity to read a “Just Right”
book during ELA workshop and play with WorkPlaces during math. Please reach out
to your dean if you need suggestions on other independent activities.
Core Values
One of our Core Values is to “take ownership for the success of our students.” To do this, it’s important that quality instruction occurs even when there is a substitute teacher. Please make sure to complete this substitute binder checklist by September 19 and turn it into your dean.
Staff Members Children
As a reminder, if you have children that attend Keystone,
please see our expectations below. As a Keystone staff member and parent,
myself, these rules apply to my children too! So, if you see the Drain girls
doing any of the following, please let me know.
1.
Please make sure your child is not
roaming the building unattended. It’s fine if they are going to a designation
alone, but they shouldn’t just be walking around.
It’s a safety concern for the student and liability for the building. This also causes other staff members to spend time addressing behaviors or concerns when they are here early or staying later to accomplish work.
2.
Children of staff members are not
allowed in the staff lounge and shouldn’t be eating the items brought for the
staff.
We work hard to keep the staff lounge a place where everyone can step away from work and engage in “safe” conversations and activities without the concern of little eyes and ears. We also commit to bringing in food for the staff, but we have many staff member kids here and if they are eating the food, many staff members that participate in these activities miss out on the opportunity because items are gone.
3.
Children
of staff members need to stay in their classroom until Driveline has ended.
They should not be in their parent’s classroom before 3:45 pm.
While you
still have your students in your classroom, you are responsible for supervising
them and half of another class due to “extra prep.” Thats already an abundance
of students in one classroom, we shouldn’t be adding anymore with staff
children.
