Titan Times
Special Edition
Celebrating Us!
This is a very simple newsletter this week. It has been a great first semester. Thank you so much for your dedication to our students and community. We will celebrate twice this week. We have a special gift for everyone this Friday. We are working on supplying lunch and a little thank you for being awesome. And of course, we have the Staff Party at the Chula Vista Golf Course. With that said... Have a great final week of the first semester and be mindful of the following:
A. Staff Party. Please sign up by this Wednesday. We are hoping to have about 100 people attend to keep costs down and entertainment up. Please fill out the link and pay Karina by Thursday at the latest. All types of beverages will be available for purchase at the venue. Here is the LINK.
B. Eastlake Education Foundation. We hope you will consider attending this amazing event in the new year. It is simply one of my favorite events to attend. The food and atmosphere are amazing. This year there will be dancing! Here is the LINK.
C. PEER TUTORS. We are only piloting this program (about 15-20 students/teachers) as we simply do not have the bandwidth nor the time to supply every teacher with a Peer Tutor who is requesting. What can help us is if you already know of a capable student willing to do the work who is knowledgeable in your subject area. If so, let us know. We will need to make a decision early this week. Otherwise, we will do our best with the pilot and students we think could be a good fit. We apologize in advance that not everyone will be able to have a Peer Tutor. It is critical that you understand that you will be responsible for the Peer Tutors including attendance and providing curriculum (reflection sheets that we can help supply). To be clear... the Peer Tutor cannot simply be an aide. They are assisting students and instructional practice. We are doing our best to satisfy a request made at FAC to support a Peer Tutor program.
D. WAAG. Don't forget to schedule for the week!
We will see you in the new year. As soon as we have finalized the first two days back from the break, I will make sure to send out the information. Please enjoy your break and when you have a moment to breathe this week know that you are special and you are appreciated. What I want more than anything for each of you is to be the best Titan you can be. May we all get a call from Kid President one day about our impact. Please watch this video to remind yourself of your power. Use it wisely! Enjoy your much needed break!
