I just had a Jenny Niles-Orefice sighting. She is back in town to pack up and is meeting this morning with our new guidance counselor, Jenn Currin. We wish both Jenn and Jenny well in their new roles for 2015-16.
The WSFCS leadership retreat was meaningful in many ways of which I am still reflecting and planning. Let me share with you some topics discussed;
We are one week away from the 2015 Collaborative Learning Conference. We are excited about the learning opportunities that will be provided during this event! As we make final arrangements we need to be sure all planning to attend are included in our numbers. If you have not already registered for the CLC, please go to:

At this time we have 829 registered for August 12 and 495 registered for August 13. It is preferable that additional individuals planning to attend should register for August 13 as we have greater capacity on this date. Should you have further questions, let me know how I can help.

The WSFCS leadership retreat was meaningful in many ways of which I am still reflecting and planning. Let me share with you some topics discussed;
- A sense of urgency
- Strategy academy for Teachers
- Reduction of the achievement gap will require new adult behavior
- Strategy academy for Leaders
- Accountability model
- How do you "Link"
- Lesson Planning is critical
- Haiku
- Change or Die article
- Diligence
- Agency
We will certainly have the opportunity to discuss these topics during our back to school week, August 17th-21st. The schedule of events for that week will be posted in our final summer blog on August 11th. Keep in mind the shift in work schedule for Thursday the 20th as we have open house.
NEXT WEEK - Collaborative Learning conference - we have 22 staff members registered, yet it is not too late, see below for details.
