REMEMBER TO...
2. Please make sure you have signed all walk throughs and observations. You will NOT electronically sign your summative. You will sign this in person during your summative conference.
3. Please make sure you have set your conference day with me. I only have a few teachers/grade levels! If you have not set yours yet, please do so before the end of the day on Monday.
4. PLEASE PLEASE make every effort to be at school. The kids need you! :) You actually can not be replaced with a sub...especially this time of the year! If too many people ask for personal days on the same day, I will have to not approve those that come in last. Remember ALL requests for personal days MUST be submitted 2 weeks in advance. Requests for personal days the last two weeks of school must go through Kristen Steeter's office. (see me if you have questions or need help)
5. Don't forget to put a copy of any progress report you need to send home in my box.
