Points of Pride
January 29, 2018
Instructional Focus:
As we have all now attended our first round of trainings with Wendy Peterson, I am reminded of the following quote:
Try something new this week, it's ok if it's not successful the first time. Failure is often the first step in learning something new.
Staff Tailgating Luncheon
- PTSO has decided to pay for the entire luncheon, so just come hungry! Thanks PTSO!
- I am planning to set up outdoor seating right outside the doors near the work room.
- I will be grilling up some hamburgers and hot dogs. We are planning to start grilling at 11:00 and we will be cleaning up around 1:30.
Copier Paper...
During the copier trainings the trainer mentioned it's bad for the copy machines to be opened and closed all the time.
Starting Monday, I would like to try an experiment until Spring Break. I am going to have Sylvia not pass out a ream of paper to each teacher, rather she will ensure that the copy machines are full of white paper at all times. In other words, you won't be responsible for supplying paper unless you want it to be something other than standard white.
Staffing Plans for Next Year....
With staff contracts coming out right around Spring Break, it's time to start looking at staffing for next year.
In all of your boxes you will get a memo asking your intentions for next year. Please fill this out by February 9 and return to my box.
