Affirmation of the Week
I have strong relationships with my students because I treat myself and my students with kindness and respect.
While this year's scheduling process was a great opportunity for developing patience and flexibility ;-) , we want to to avoid this "opportunity" next year. As promised, the process of building next year's master schedule is beginning next couple of weeks. As you meet with your team this week, please take a moment to think about your schedule. Most of us were not here last year, but now that we have had an opportunity to get to know the school, schedule, students, and curriculum, think about what would work best next year. If you have requests or suggestions, please send them to Mrs. Kemp this week. Of course, we cannot guarantee any changes, but we will do our absolute best to honor requests while building a clean schedule that works for all of our students.
Milestones Field Test
Price has been randomly selected to participate in Milestones Field Testing. This test will only be administered to 7th grade 10/26 and 10/27. While this is only a field test, full testing protocol must be in place. 6th and 8th grade classes will not be testing, but all classes should be aware that computer labs/Chromebook carts may be unavailable during this time. Additionally, several staff members will be asked to participate as examiners or proctors. Please check your email for an invitation to training.
To Do List
- Send Mrs. Kemp your scheduling suggestions.
- Log any absences in ADP - this was not available at the beginning of the year, so you will need to go back and log any absences you have not marked in ADP.
- Change bulletin boards with student work, if you have not already done so. Please also touch up any ripped door displays.
- Continue to input assessments in Mastery Connect. Remember that "assessments" does not only refer to "tests." Make sure you are contacting parents of students who are in danger of failing.
