Extra Time
Licensed staff workday is from 8- 4 pm unless otherwise specified.
With this extra time please make sure you:
1. Have gotten your syllabi ready?
* If so please place it in the shared licensed staff folder - Class Syllabi- Spring 2018
* All syllabi should be available for ILT to review by December 15
2. Complete the 5 essentials survey- we need to get at least 70% of licensed staff but it would be great to get 100%
There is never a shortage of things that need to be done.
Counselor News
Parenting Course
The Parenting course at Wellstone, taught by Angela Makepeace, is now officially scheduled in Discovery so TPlus students can earn credit. The course happens during 2nd hour M/W. If you have interested students, please let me know!
Term 2 Course Requests Due tomorrow!
Please remember term 2 course requests are due tomorrow (Tuesday). As you are completing the forms with students, please make sure they are making enough selections (at least 10 top choices and 5 alternatives). Let me know if you need any support with this process. For those who are curious, the purpose of tomorrow's due date is to leave enough time for schedules to be entered. Schedules must be entered individually in Discovery, which often takes 20-30 minutes per student.
5Essentials Survey Open
Last Tuesday all licensed staff received an email with a link to the 5Essentials survey. Please be sure to take the survey by December 15th (though completing it asap is recommended). It takes about 10-20 minutes to complete.
We are still waiting for some information from the district before developing a plan for administering the survey to students. That information will be shared as soon as it is available.
