Month Two of the School Year

August was a flash and now we are about to complete Week 5 of school! Listed below are few updates and important information.  Team leaders please sure that all of your team members review this information and are in compliance.

1.  Be sure to record detailed minutes from grade level meetings including in particular comments and ideas reflecting evidence of data analysis, collaborative discussions and implementation of best practices.

2.  Until all reading materials are in, please utilize your online access to Journey's materials to plan lessons and center activities etc.

3.  Protect the Reading Block! No Interruptions, No Errands, No Excuses!!

4.  Reminder: Parent conferences must occur during planing time.  Please professionally inform parents who may show up of our policy and continue to teach toward your objectives.

Also, parents may not host birthday celebrations at school.  We can not compromise instructional time we have goals to achieve and birthday parties will not help us get there.  Please advise you parents accordingly if asked.  

5.  Please talk to your students about their conduct in the restrooms.  We are finding evidence of students standing on toilets, wasting paper and putting foreign objects in the toilets.  Please monitor your students on your class breaks for time in the restroom and cleanliness.

6.  Please advise you recycling team to be sure to place items in the bins and not on the floor.

7.  Staff must have clearance from administration in order to be in the building after hours (5:00 PM) or on weekends. If you need to do so contact administration for prior approval.
