Announcements/Week Ahead

Hallway presence - A huge shout out to all staff who consistently spend passing time in the hallway!  It makes a huge difference having teachers in the hallways during passing time.  Please make it a priority to be present in the hallways during passing time - encourage kids to get to class on time - and talk with your colleagues!  Your help is appreciated!

Vertical Teaming Night - Monday is the Vertical Teaming Night from 3:15-6 p.m.  Your department Chair/Coordinator should have communicated with you as to where you will be meeting.  All teachers are expected to attend.

Picture Retake Day - Payne Photography will be back on Tuesday, November 2nd, from 7-9 a.m. only.  All staff who didn't have their picture taken earlier this school year, should do so for the yearbook.  Please remind your students of this on Monday.  

Quarter 1 Grading - An email was sent out by Melissa Barwick with information on the grading process.  Please make sure you adhere to the dates on this email so grades can be completed before conferences for parents to see on IC.

Parent-Teacher Conferences - Thursday, November 11th, and Monday, November 15th, are parent-teacher conferences from 3-6pm with a built-in 20-minute break each night. All teachers are expected to have conferences. There are a few shared teachers, coaches, etc. that may not be here. If you haven’t already spoken to Dawn Seehafer about not being here, please do so ASAP. Parents received an email or paper copy last week with instructions and links to sign up for either a phone conference or a WebEx conference during a 10-minute spot. You will receive a link early this week for you to see your schedule.  If any parent adds/deletes/changes need to be made, contact Dawn.  

Semester Finals - This past week the BLT determined that we will go back to a traditional final schedule.  We will share the detailed schedule with you in the coming weeks.  Per the BLT conversation - it is an expectation that all teachers are conducting an assessment of some sort during their scheduled class time.  This could be a comprehensive assessment, unit assessment, or project assessment.  Students are not allowed to be excused from their scheduled time.
