Tuesday MM - Day 4

Good Morning, 

I am at the Joint Principals meeting this morning and will be at CO this afternoon to participate in WSFCS strategic planning for Math.  I hope to see some of you in the 1-2 hours before and during dismissal. 

Andy and I are working with each of our Certified Teachers to schedule a Summative Evaluation conference before May 18th.  Plan for 45 minutes and we will have a fantastic conversation about learning and teaching.

The first EOG administrator training was yesterday and it went well.  Our next and final opportunity is Thursday at 3:20.

The Elementary Transfer Fair is May 3rd, 4-5:30, @ the North Forsyth High School Cafeteria.

Monday MM - Day Three

Good Morning!

I hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend and are ready to leverage your investments.  All of us have deposited time effort and energies into the academic and social development of our students.  Here at the end of the year, we need to tap into these accounts and help them access their own inner reserves to perform their best.

No faculty or SIT this week as we continue to focus our Learning Team Meetings on Module 3 and 4 of the CCES.

Good Morning!

The next 12 days we will suspend our LTM meetings to focus on CCES modules three and four.  Module five will occur on a Rs day in June (most likely Monday June 11th)  Please be prepared to engage your peers in collaborative learning about and planning for the implementation of the CCES in 2012-13 & beyond.

Our PTA will celebrate our many wonderful Volunteers on Friday with a light coffee and pastry event at the picnic tables in front of the school.  We so appreciate all their efforts to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of our students.

I will not have a blog post on Friday as I will be off campus for the day.  I will write again Sunday evening and be ready for Monday.

Please be sure to watch/listen to the video post from Dr. Martin.  It and all the information from the faculty meeting can be found on the shared folder.

Monday MM - Day four

Good Morning!

We have 15 days of instruction until we begin the EOG administration on May 14th.  Make these days engaging and full of joy for our learners.

An enjoyable Mix-IT-Up day last Friday! Let these pictures tell the story

An update on the grounds workday from Colleen. We had 59 volunteers and got a lot done. Big trash sweep of grounds, including twin city diner parking lot, and the creek. The big trash find was a stolen purse in the creek!  An elderly woman on 25th street said her purse had been stolen from her house last November. They took the money but not the cards, license, etc. Our PTA will be delivering it to her this week. Lots of raking, replacing pine needles along front of building, weeding gardens and day lily beds, etc. Also got all the sculptures installed. Volunteers signed a banner and tied it up on the bridge near the front doors so all can see it. A great day!!
