Information for Teachers and Staff

Hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving Weekend!  Welcome back!

Fire Inspection is Monday.  Please make sure your room will pass inspection by keeping it free from clutter and all access to doors and pull stations clear.  If you have decorations and lighting up, make sure the extensions are not piggy-backed. Refer to emails from Mike and former posts for details.

This Wednesday is IPDP sharing party for teachers as part of your evidence for EES (for those on cycle this year).  It might not be as fun as turkey bowling...but it will still be a great time! During the sharing, you will be assigned to cross grade level groups to listen and give feedback on your colleagues’ sharing.  Click here for more information.  Please let Mindy know if you are not listed or if you have questions on what to share.
We are looking to start a homework club for students after winter break on Wednesdays after school.  We will be targeting selected students who attend A+. Look for more information coming out through email this week on how to recommend students for this support.
Have a great week!  You got this!

In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers.
