Quote of the week
SIP Focus - "Failure to prepare, is preparing to fail"
Whether we are planning for differentiation, higher DOK levels, or incorporating writing strategies, focusing on our SIP begins at the same place....
THE LESSON PLAN
What are you doing in collaborative planning as well as your individual planning to incorporate a focus on our SIP goals?
Are you attending collaborative planning regularly?
Are you contributing to collaborative planning?
Are you intentionally planning for your students using your collaborative plan to develop a lesson plan for each day?
If you aren't, you, and your students are missing out!
When we come back from break, be ready to focus on collaborative planning and making an effort like you have never before to provide student with the BEST opportunities to learn each day. It all starts with a plan!
You've got this!

Staff Climate Survey for EPMS
Have you completed the climate survey for staff yet? We need at least 75% of our teachers to complete the survey, but 100% would be ideal! WHAT SAY YOU?!
