resources for you:
DGS Staff Resources and Dashboard
I would bookmark/star this so you can access it when you need it. Please note this has items like updated classroom fund balances, the daily transportation list, the master calendar and more.
Safety Review from First Lock Down
- When you leave your classrooms, please shut off the lights and shut the door. Ensuring that the hallways look uniform is a safety precaution. Doors should NOT be left open if there isn't anyone in the classroom.
End of the Day
As a reminder, please continue to walk your students out to the buses. This ensures safety and order. This was a commitment the staff made last year to help with the end of day routine. There are umbrellas located by the doors should there be inclement weather as well.
Please continue to check daily transportation changes. This is VITAL that you do this and ensure your classroom students get to the appropriate spot. HERE
Positive Office Referrals
You are welcome to celebrate the successes of students at any point this year. You can do so by filling out this FORM or by simply sending me an email that details they're specific success or positive behavior. They will get to ring the bell, sign the wall and have a selfie taken to be displayed outside the office. In most cases, I also call home to share the good news with their parents.
Bist Bytes
The BIST and Second Step timeline for 2019-2020 is HERE. I will also post updates and expectations for each week in the weekly update.
For the week of September 9,
- Review Cafeteria Expectations
- We have a meeting on Thursday.
If you are continuing to work with parents on the BIST concept, consider sharing with them the tips found HERE
Discipline Dashboard (Data will be maintained here)
Maintenance Requests
This helps George, Nancy, and Tom Grimm track building and district requests.
You can ask verbally for a request, but also be sure to send the email. It can be as simple as "Please move desk to stage in my classroom" or "Air Conditioning is leaking."
