Good Morning - Week "B"

Faculty meeting today @ 3:30 in the media center.

Testing continues this morning with MATH.  Specialists will be administrators for "mod groups" and unable to teach until the testing is complete.  We will inform you with a visit to your class.  

Please have a class discussion on Bullying as today is UNITY day.  We can learn a lot about our adult behaviors that support our students when we lead/listen to a rich conversation.

Tuesday MM - October 20th

Good Morning Week "B"

Wednesday is UNITY DAY

• We all wear Orange!
• Please encourage your students to wear Orange to demonstrate that they are united and will "Stand Up" to bullying behaviors in our world.

I am at a Elementary Principals meeting today. The agenda is posted in the Blog document folder on the "S" drive.

We had a productive meeting with our support staff from the central office regarding our SIP.  After school, SIT worked on EL education and how to measure the effect of our PD.  Since the beginning of the year we have claimed that, "adult behaviors impact student outcomes."  I believe PD is an adult behavior therefore we should look at how we could measure the effect of this PD on student outcomes.  More to come at our next SIT meeting on Tuesday November 17th.

Sub today - Robin Phelps for Tonya Grisette
