Need to Know
Faculty Meeting October 18 - Our faculty meeting on Wednesday will not be in person.  One activity we engaged in as a faculty last year was observing our colleagues throughout the building.  That experience was well received and I was asked to ensure we find a way to do it again this year.  In lieu of an in person faculty meeting on Wednesday, all faculty members are expected to conduct two 15-20 minute observations on the two floors where your physical classroom is not located.  For instance, if you are in the Art department you will conduct your observations on the second and third floors.  If you're in the math department, you'll be on the first and third.  These observations must be completed by November 14th.

As we did last year - I would ask for people who are willing to enter your name, room number, and which hours you're open for observation by your colleagues.  This way, only people who are opening their rooms will be observed.  (I am highly encouraging all teachers to open your classrooms).  Open Classroom Sign-Up

While conducting the observation please take notes and reflect on the practice you are observing.  Focus on clarity of instruction (how does the teacher articulate the desired learning outcome?), how students are receiving feedback, and ways in which the teacher creates a positive culture in their classroom.  We will use your reflections at our faculty meeting on November 15th.  

New Neighbors - In early October, district administrators, counselors and EL staff had the opportunity to be a part of a presentation done by several individuals in our community who have refugee status. It was a powerful presentation that began with a traditional Afghan tea and pastry service, followed by a documentary and a panel discussion. Here is the link to the documentary titled Refugee Resettlement and Asylum Seeking in Central WI for anyone interested. Also, there is another event and opportunity for you to see the presentation at the Community Partners Campus in Wausau on November 2. Please see the flyer for details!


Parent-Teacher Conferences are just around the corner on November 9th and 13th from 3-6:30pm.  Please check below to make sure you are in the correct room those nights. If you have questions, give Dawn Seehafer a call or email by Wednesday, October 18th.
