Wednesday Meeting times for Teachers
I shared document of a template to utilize.
First PLC of the month-comments/notes on EDUclimber, student concerns, etc
Second PLC-focus on what your goal is this year-continue using 4 questions of PLC(on template)
Second Wednesday is faculty meeting. I will share agendas with you-please email any Orange Shout Outs for peers and items you'd like to see on our agenda.
Fourth Wednesday of the month is department meetings-review budgets, review courses for the course description booklet, needs for the year, any new course proposals, check ins, equipment repair, etc.
Fire Drill
Just a reminder the fire dept asks that when we do a drill to close your door and turn lights off so they know your classroom is not missing any students. If you have a student in a wheelchair and it's a drill and they are upstairs please have them wait in the stairwell. If it is not a drill you will work with students/staff to get that student out safely. If you are missing a student please look for a staff member with a radio to share.
