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
ABCDE Goals-Positive Behaviors
One of our school
goals is to decrease our total number of student behavior counts by 3% (52 total) from the 2025-26 SY to 2026-27
SY. 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.”
Substitute Binder
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 18 and
turn it into your dean.
Staff Children
As a reminder, if you have children that attend Keystone,
please see our expectations below.
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 Go Time 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.” That’s already an abundance
of students in one classroom, we shouldn’t be adding anymore with staff
children.
ABCDE Goal-Attendance
Congratulations
to Mrs. Reaume’s and
Ms. Caruso’s class for spelling the word, HERE. We are starting off strong with our attendance
initiatives. We have already had a 2% increase in our perfect attendance in
comparison to last year (YTD).
Affirmations
Taylor for going above and beyond to secure our attendance field
experiences at an affordable rate and helping make these opportunities possible
for our students.
Ellen for continuously finding creative ways to strengthen our
school culture and create meaningful opportunities for staff to connect and
celebrate.
Stacey Ramirez for seeking out additional funding opportunities that
allow us to provide special experiences to show appreciation to the staff.
Tracy for once again
using your knowledge to help me keep everything organized and on track.
Stacey Reed for taking on all the extra
work of tracking down and correcting IEP paperwork for our new students and
making sure they receive the appropriate services and support they need to be
successful.
Ja’Rayl for entering all the coaching information in Oracle. Thank you for taking
care of that for me!
Andria, Ellen, Mark,
Cindy, Jen D, Amanda, Linsey, Kathleen, Teri, Steve, Yasmeen, Lynne, and Monique for adding your favorite song to our staff meeting playlist. Thank you for
sharing your love of music and giving us a glimpse into what you enjoy.
