Announcements/Week Ahead
Learning Advocates - We have hired Greg Peterson to serve as a learning advocate for the remainder of the year. In this role Greg will make contact with students on REM out more than three days - will ask them what type of assistance they need and may follow up with you as a teacher. Additionally, Greg will check with students when they return. He will work out of the back English/Social Studies student areas and is available to help teachers as they work to catch students up from learning loss. Greg will have a phone extension and a school email. Please utilize Greg to help you with students on REM. We are still looking for an additional learning advocate to help specifically with Math support for students on REM. More to come on that...
United Way Campaign - The United Way Campaign snuck up on us this year. All employees should have received an individualized email directly from the United Way this morning around 8 a.m. DCE's campaign runs from November 8-17. More information will follow with daily prizes from Karry Salber.
