Thursday MM - Day "F"

Good Morning!

I am at the Elementary Principals meeting this morning and will return after lunch.  The agenda is posted in the Blog documents folder on the staff shared drive.

Today is our Lock Down Drill @ 2pm.  Please be in your classroom and work with your students in the area that they spend the majority of their day.  Throughout the next rotation (Sept. 20-27)our Specialists will be instructing students on the protocols for their particular classrooms. 

The Link to the Critical incident video was distributed in our level meetings on the 21st of August and can also be accessed HERE.

FRIDAY morning we celebrate our 19th day of school with Krispy Kreme Donuts and Krankies Coffee in the ....... I would like to find a new name for the room with our Fridge, Microwave, Keurig, Pepsi machine, etc....Please use the space provided in the old "bomb shelter" to brainstorm.  We will come to a consensus at our next faculty meeting.

FROM NCDPI; Dear NC Educator, 

The  North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has partnered with UNC-TV to produce an hour-long program, North Carolina Schools and You: What Changes in Our Schools Mean for Parents and Students
This program will be broadcast twice on UNC-TV:
  • Thursday, September 19, at 10 p.m.
  • Friday, September 27, at 4:30 p.m. 
Featured in the program are segments taped in local public and public charter schools and questions from a studio audience to State Superintendent June Atkinson, Chief Academic Officer Rebecca Garland and Deputy Academic Officer Angela Quick.

North Carolina Schools and You offers information and discussion around recent important changes in public schools and how parents can be more productively engaged in their children’s success.  Specific topics include:
  • Teaching and Learning:  What Students Are Learning and How
  • Measuring Performance:  New Assessments and Accountability Model
  • Parent Engagement:  How Parents Can Support Learning

To enrich viewer's understanding about these topics, NCDPI has prepared a Viewer's Guide (in the blog documents folder) with additional background information and helpful links to supplement the program. We hope these materials are helpful to you and your team as you work with parents and community members to support student learning.
