Friday MM - Day "F"

Good Morning!

Linnea sent an e-mail regarding PENC.  If you are  interested in learning more, please contact her via e-mail.

Our Flex Benefits representative is back for his last day and needs you to sign up for a slot.  The next opportunity to meet with a representative will be in November at CO.

For the Certified staff, I need you to complete the evaluation documents below

• Step One, Orientation {August 21st}
• Step Two, Self Assessment

Andy or I will meet with you in October to schedule your first evaluation and work on the PDP.  If you do step three - PDP - it is OK, just not required before September 30th.  Remember that I am available to help and can walk you through step one  in less than 3 minutes once you log into power teacher.

Environmental Club will meet this afternoon.  All members should stay with the bus riders until they are called to the gym.  It should be about the 4th or 5th bus.

I am working on the duty free lunch schedule and ask that teachers begin to migrate to the teacher tables when they feel it is appropriate.  I have noticed an uptick in the volume and some of us need to turn off the lights and PRAISE our groups for Level two voices rather than tell chastise the whole lot.  Remember that modeling  expected behaiors is still the best practice to achieve consistency from our students.

I have heard lots of conversations about stuff that tangentially impacts our instruction.  I want to shift the focus and  engage in dialogue that is directly connected to learning.  Management guru Stephen Covey said it best, "Keep the main thing, the main thing."  Will you please engage me in a conversation?
