Identity
Identity. Have you ever thought about what shaped your identity? Who we are, what we belief, what we value, how we treat others, and how we tackle tough situations all stem from the experiences we have during our lifetime.
Our identities are all unique and shouldn't be masked. It's important to reflect on the experiences we've had and how they have contributed to our identity. It is through this reflection process we can begin to explain who we are and why we react to certain situations the way we do. What experiences have you had that helped to shape your beliefs and values? How do these beliefs and values influence how you treat others? How has your background impacted how you face challenging situations? Do certain life experiences lead you to prejudgments of others or do they bring you closer to empathize? Awareness leads to acceptance of ourselves and others.
Expectations
- Stop the student
- Explain the expectation they are not meeting (point it out on a poster)
- If it is needed, have them practice the expectation
- Be present and monitoring student behavior from 7:30 am-7:45 am.
- Be present and monitoring student behavior during passing time when you are not teaching.
- Be present and monitoring student behavior from 3:00 pm-3:10 pm.
Together, we can hold our students to high expectations and ensure a safe learning environment.

Personal Needs Profile
Chromebook All Call
All Chromebooks should have been turned in at this time. If you still have any in your classrooms, please return them to the library.
Classroom Arrangements & Needs:
Please starting thinking about how you will be arranging your tables and/or desks for testing. Students should have 3 feet of space between them and all students should be facing the same direction. You may need to rearrange your room prior to testing and you may need dividers between students. If you have any questions about how you should handle the arrangement of your students, please contact Anna or Mike.
