Staff Meeting-Canceled

 The admin team has decided to cancel the staff meeting on Tuesday. Please feel free to use that time to prepare for conferences from the comfort of your home. 😊

Core Values

 

One of our Core Values is “Make our schools the best choice for parents and students.” Thank you for doing this EVERYDAY, especially as we prepare for P-T conferences on November 22 & 23. Don’t forget to reference my email regarding our expectations for discussing students’ academic performance, attendance, retention, and scheduling.

The PTO will be providing lunch/dinner both days that you can grab and go depending on your schedule. 

DON’T FORGET:

During conferences, teachers must review our Commitment to Excellence contract with each family as a requirement of our grants compliance.  Use the sign-in sheet to track each family you review the contract with. Stacey sent a copy of the contract and the sign-in sheet that should be used.  Please put your name on the sheet and submit completed sheets to Stacey after your last conference is held.

Show Some Gratitude-REMINDER

 

Don’t forget to show some gratitude this month.  I encourage you to find someone on the Google Doc and write a short explanation of why you are grateful for them. We will provide a jeans pass to any staff member who gets recognized.  If someone already was gifted a jeans pass, please choose someone else. It’s our desire to show gratitude to EVERYONE!

FLO #1

 

Full Lesson Observations (FLO) begin November 15! These observations are announced (scheduled) and are 30-45 minutes.
