Titan Staff News
Week of November 10
Happy Friday Titans,
Thank you for another great week! I can see you all working hard for our students each and every day. You are truly the best staff our students could ask for! We have had an interesting week with the first installment of campus-wide instructional rounds. I will debrief with members of the leadership team on Monday and will be sure to give you all feedback thereafter. From what I can see, we are all working diligently towards the campus Problem of Practice. Think back to our August professional development...the single most strongest impact on student instruction is teachers working together to evaluate their effectiveness. Keep the knowledge of your impact at the heart of your intentional planning and we will do accomplish great things!
In the past faculty meeting, I gave you all permission to think big and dream about what you want your classrooms to be. Well, I have been doing some dreaming too and I will be sharing that dream for Tidwell in the near future.
Have a great weekend,
KIm

Important News
- 7th grade OLC days will be rescheduled. As soon as I receive information, I will share with you.
- 8th graders will be traveling to UNT on Dec 2. Please turn in permission slips and money for lunch to Mrs. Myers when you have collected it all. It is the expectation for all 8th graders to attend.
- I have the honor of sharing the great things Tidwell does this week at the ESC Region 11 Campus Showcase. I will be a part of a principal panel on the topic of Instructional Rounds. I always love the opportunity to brag on what you do!
- As you write your I will/We will statements each day be sure to check the Bloom's level of the verbs in each sentence to ensure proper alignment. I'll be looking for examples this week to share with you on our next newsletter.
- As a reminder, personal days are to be requested 5 days in advance. Please use the request form on the Common drive. I do know that extenuating circumstances occur, I will be more than happy to talk through any situation with you.
