1/2 Day PD

 

Two years later and the leadership team is still upholding our promise to you. We are providing you with an hour and half of additional planning time during our ½ day PD on Wednesday.

You will spend the first hour and a half going through Phase 2 & 3 of the assessment cycle with your team and dean. The second hour and a half you can prep/plan at your discretion. However, all staff must remain in the building until 3:15 PM.  We hope the additional 6 hours of prep that our half days provide reaffirm that “you matter!”

School Visits

I am a mentor to 5 NHA principals. Two of them will be visiting our school this Tuesday (10/15) and the others will be here on Tuesday, October 22. They will spend the day shadowing me. I’ve bragged so much about our school culture that they are looking forward to observing Keystone in action.

Staff Meetings

 


Starting at 3:45 on Tuesday, 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. Only salary staff are required to attend.
