In Case You Missed:
Communication is a huge part of our success at SLMS. I cannot stress enough the importance for EVERYONE to check AND respond to emails at least twice a day (morning or afternoon and planning). It is expected that emails AND phone calls are responded to within 24 hours. There are several people that will be assigned to a training on Monday instead of being able to go to something of their choice because the two emails I sent last week were never responded to.
ELA, Math, and Science Teachers have received the data from the benchmarks. I sent the forms on diving into your data to uncover information to help you to know what needs to be done now with your students. Please come to your next PLC with the worksheets completed on your cores.
Please be in the media center before 2:50 for the UnMeeting. Jamie will begin with the Stellar Stallions promptly at 2:50 pm. We will have a couple of slides to go over preparations for AVID Showcase and then will break up into our APLW's. I appreciate our AVID Leaders, Zach Groves, Josh Schneider, Christina Reed, Kevin Degon, Ashley Inman, Vincent Pienaar, Ellen Duncan, Cindy Quiggle, Tonnette Wicker, Bianca DiMarcello, Sarah Yoder, and Misty Thompson, for stepping up and leading training to help ensure all our students are prepared for whatever future they choose. Be prepared to stay past 4:00 pm. Each group will dismiss as soon as they have completed the training.
I apologize for not formally introducing Officer Zack Petty earlier. He has been working at SLMS for the last two weeks since Yanira took her new position. Officer Petty is here for approximately 5 weeks until they formally assign someone else. He normally is assigned as the second officer at Lee County High School and floats as needed to other schools. He came on at a very busy time for crazy behavior; full moon, Spirit Week, and Halloween. I appreciate how he has jumped right in and helped out wherever he's been needed. Please make sure to introduce yourself and welcome him!
