D.C. Everest Senior High School Staff Update
Announcements/Week Ahead
Safety Drill - On Wednesday during Advisory we will begin with a table top safety drill. We will come over the PA and ask all teachers to discuss what we would do in the event of a lockdown announcement. You will receive your safety booklet on Monday. Please review your protocols ahead of time so you feel comfortable describing our responses.
Club/Activity Presentations: A reminder that the sophomore & new student Club/Activity Fair/Presentation is on Tuesday, September 13th, during ELT in the field house. Sophomore ELT teachers are asked to bring your students down and help supervise. Cards will be put into mailboxes prior to event. Please hand out to all of your ELT sophomores before coming down. Have the students write their name on the card and bring along with a pen/pencil. The students need to talk to 3 groups (group member needs to initial the card by their club name) and return to their ELT teacher or Dawn Seehafer who will be in the field house.
Club/Activity Group Advisors - Please make sure your group reps have their own signup sheets and pens/pencils. They are asked to initial/sign over the Club/Activity name on the cards sophomores will have in hand.
Board Policy Sign Off - There are a few that have not signed off on reviewing the annual board policies. Please complete and sign off on the sheet in Dawn's office by the end of this week. Thank you.
3rd Friday Count Sept. 16th - We will be doing 3rd Friday Count during 2nd period on Friday, Sept. 16th. Rosters will be put in teacher's mailboxes the day before. Please take attendance at the beginning of the hour and have a student walk it down to Attendance and slide it under the window immediately after taking attendance. Make sure you sign the roster which verifies the accuracy of student enrollment. Emails will be sent out with further instructions as we near 3rd Friday count.

Welcome Back from the Mental Health and Wellness Team! We are excited for a positive and resilient focused school year! If the summer was your time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate yourself then we are excited you are back with a full bucket! And if summer was a time of business, stress, or challenges, we are glad you are back to a routine and schedule! We recognize that returning to school is both positive and challenging and our team is here to help and support ! We look forward to bringing you ongoing knowledge and information this school year following our Trauma Informed and Resilient Schools training and notifying you of our current mental health and wellness trends. If you have questions or information to share throughout the year please reach out to Erin Jacobson; DCE Mental Health Navigator/ School Social Worker; or a member of your schools student services team!
September is focused on Relationship Skills! The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or other adult. Kids learn and grow when meaningful connections are made with adults. Serve and Return bids for connections with your students!
Fire Department Inspection Tip of the Month - One of our most common citations from the Fire Department is items hanging from the ceiling in a classroom. Please make sure you do not hang anything from your classroom ceiling. We want to keep you, students and our first responders safe when in our buildings.
New Teacher Institute for Mentors/Mentees - We were asked to share this updated flier for the school year New Teacher Institute. Calendar invites to mentors/mentees will be sent shortly.
