November 4th Faculty Meeting - Presentation by Samaritans (KPMS Auditorium)
On our November 4th Faculty Meeting, we will have a guest presenter from Samaritans. The presentation is timely, as the approaching holiday season can be a very stressful time for families. Please read below for a description of the session.
Teacher Feedback Focus Group - Tuesday, November 5
Now that I have had the chance to meet everyone at the school, I would like to formally learn more about the KPMS community by gathering some information.
There are two ways for faculty members to participate: (1) you can fill out an online feedback form or (2) you can come to a voluntary teacher focus group meeting. Please be aware that the four questions on the online form are the same questions that will be discussed at the focus group session.
Then next focus group session will be on Tuesday, November 5, from 2:30-3:00 PM in the Principal's Conference Room.
Thank you to everyone who has already filled out the form or who had participated in the first focus group this past week. I am grateful to you for sharing valuable information about the school with me! I hope to gather information from parents and students in the coming weeks as well.
Sincerely,
Michelle
