Principal Message
Parent-Teacher Conferences for traditional students are right around the corner. Conferences are scheduled for February 4th from 4:00 to 6:00. Please spend time this week arranging conferences for "bubble" students.
A big shout out to Mr. Horohoe for winning a $2500 grant to the Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC.
The Data/MTSS Team will begin their work this week. Our focus will be attendance and academic grades. You will be introduced to a "watchlist" we are putting together for our "Schools that Lead" Team.
It is "Teacher of the Year" time. More information to come out on Thursday regarding this process at BSMS.
Academic/Curriculum Updates
Thursday plcs will focus on preparing for conferences and looking at level 2 students.
We also need to spend time ensuring that everyone is at the same place with peer walkthroughs and instructional strategies from Teach Like a Champion. Different teams are at different places and we will place catch up this week.
On Thursday, Mr. Herndon and I will observe all Math teachers using the GCPS Walkthrough Tool. If you are in need of manipulatives, please let me know as I think we have some located at BSMS.
As mentioned at Friday's Huddle last week, if you are interested in assisting with the book study please let me know. Right now, Mrs. Preston is the only teacher that has stepped up to the plate.
