Announcements/Week Ahead
2nd semester kickoff - As we move into second semester please remember to reestablish norms and procedures with your classes. Please spend time on the importance of attendance and promptness, cover your expectations and address any major item you need from the start. One specific point of emphasis to address relates to the use of cell phones. Per our district policy and student handbook language students must turn their cell phones off and put them away during class periods. Please make sure you are addressing this expectation from the beginning and enforcing throughout the rest of the year.
Faculty Meeting January 19 - Faculty meeting this Wednesday. We will start by revisiting advisory progress as we move into second semester and then we will move into a conversation about lessons learned by one of our colleagues during their multiple year journey through student goal setting, reflection, clarity of instruction, and continuous improvement. Contact Mike if you are unable to attend.
Advisory video on Wednesday - This Wednesday we will have a second semester kickoff video for students. Please show the video to your advisory class to start the hour before moving into conferencing with students. Video will be shared with teachers on Tuesday.
An update from Sunshine: Our condolences go out to Carla Kietlinski and her family on the passing of her father-in-law. A "get well," card was sent to Jo Bailey for being out an extended period of time.
Student teachers - A quick note of thanks to all of our teachers who support student teachers throughout the years. We have intentionally increased our efforts to attract students to student teach with us to make sure we stay a viable option when positions become available. For that to happen we need willing teachers to take them on and serve as mentors throughout their experience. To all who have chosen to do that throughout the years - thank you!
