On Monday morning,
we will be hosting 6 middle school deans from our region, two C & I
specialists, and our DSQ for professional development. They will be observing
some middle school classrooms. Those teachers have been notified. Thank you for
always welcoming our visitors.
On Wednesday, 18 NHA teachers from Ohio, New York, and the Canton region will be spending the day at our school for Dean Prep Academy. Dean Prep is a yearlong program for teachers who want to be a dean. They will spend the day in the 6th grade middle school science room with me and two other cohort leaders as we facilitate their learning. Part of the day, they will be observing some classrooms. I have already notified those teachers. Since, I won’t be available, Jamie will be the acting principal. As always, if you see them in the hallway, please give them a warm Keystone welcome.
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 gym.

One of our Core Values is to “take ownership
for the success of our students.” One of the ways that we are doing this
is through our proactive attendance initiatives.
We have 3,042 less absences in comparison from this time last year! Every grade level has seen a decrease. Our
proactive efforts are working.
During our next staff meeting, we will
discuss our next steps with holding parents accountable regarding our
chronically absent students. Hopefully, these combined efforts will yield even
greater results and provide those students the opportunity to be successful!
