TO DO
Below is the link to the PLC Agenda Template that you will use each week. You will also see two links to documents that will help you with this week's tasks: deciding roles and responsibilities and choosing one word to resonate on this year (what is your word of the year?). Each week you will receive a task in the newsletter to be completed during your PLC. Please make sure that someone from your team is designated to do the agenda so that the task is part of the agenda.
NCEES
All PDP conferences should be completed by the end of the day on September 20th. Please schedule a time with your admin to complete your BOY Professional Goals.
Dismissal
Please remind families of the dismissal procedures in place. If families are trying to pick up students in areas not designated for that, it is a safety issue. Car rider pick up is in the lower lot, walkers are picked up at the front entrance.
Drills
The first safety drills of the year are announced and are meant to be used as teaching opportunities. They are no secret and should be discussed with students. We completed our fire and lock down drills. Next is bus safety. Every child should view this video this week. Please email LeeAnn to confirm that all of your students watched the video.
Mentors
If you are a new mentor for a staff member, please log in to NCEES and complete the course under the professional development tab called 21st Century Mentoring. Once you complete this course, the system will notify Kim Dechant and she will give you further instructions. Thank you for giving your time to help support our new staff!
