Staff #5: Students arive a week from today!

New Teachers, Buddies, Mentors reported for duty!

One of our changes, the front doors, light and strong!

Out with the old and in with the new. 

 

Right around the corner
To get in the cycle, I am sending out my first Thursday Staff Blog.  Attached are dropbox links for those files folks may be interested in reviewing before next week.  There may still be some tuning occurring as we wrap up our final days of summer but I want to get you the current best information we have in a timely fashion.  Eventually, we will be going to the more efficient googledocs platform, but we all are not there yet.

1.   Back to School Powerpoint (not 144 slides!)*
2.   Ancora Imparo - Middle School Details to address over time
3.   Ed Hub instructions for NEE PD Plan to develop UOI in binder teams
4.   Sample Syllabus that will need tuning for courses*
5.   Student Interest Survey with Possible Mixer Activity*
6.   PBS Handbook
7.   Morning Supervision Schedule*
8.   Student of the Month Nomination Schedule
9.   HOT Sheet*
10. Office Visit Request sheet* 

*On or before the first day of classes


These are working copies of things created and developed over the summer to help organize. Please feel free to offer me different perspectives, feedback and suggestions for improvements. I want to welcome input.

Monday August 10
As the powerpoint identifies, we have Collaborative Grant and PBiS Presentations on Monday so very little extra time.  On Tuesday, I want to give you as much time as possible before our Back to School night on the early slot of 5:00 - 6:30.

The new teachers are all planning a KAGAN type activity for us, one for each day.  It would be great if binder teams would host a favorite activity as well.

I don't want to overdo it but sending out my weekly notes on thrusday for the following week seemed like a good plan.  Let's see if we can get a good routine. I will Remind, Blog and send out an email with the link as well.  It may adjust and improve once we all get Google docs up and running as well.

PS -
I hear we are getting 2 more laptop carts in our building!  Yeah!
We are also moving the Leadership Committee meeting to Thursday AM, before school.  (Thanks for the suggestion, EB) (formerly Steering)
