SFA Science
Week of 11 January 2016
Off and Running in 2016!
Sometimes we all need a little nudge to get things moving again, whether its to get us up and off the couch (where I am presently placed watching football), or restarting something we initiated long ago. Hence, I am restarting my newsletter again and hope you will nudge me to keep up the communication if I slack off after a couple of weeks.
As we move into this semester, I will be spending more time in classrooms working with our students and this will decrease my time in PLCs. I do want to make sure items of importance to our team are communicated, especially when I might not see each grade level team on a regular basis. So, here we go....2016, we got this covered!
This Week...
Monday, 1/11 - PLC, CLT Meeting - Anything you would like communicated to the team?
Tuesday, 1/12 - PLC
Wednesday, 1/13 - Grade Level Team Meeting. Meet in grade level teaming rooms. Faculty Meeting. Meet in Cafeteria at 4:15PM.
Thursday, 1/14 - PLC
Friday, 1/15 - Grade Level Team Meeting. Meet in grade level teaming rooms.
Have you met with your PDAS Appraiser for the Spring Semester Check-In?
Please consider volunteering some time to work the SFA Girl's Basketball Tournament Friday and Saturday at RHS, or just come out and watch our ladies play. Our boys teams will also be playing in a tournament at Davila Middle School Friday and Saturday. Students love to see us, and our presence helps build relationships that pay-off in the classroom, too. Playing schedules will be communicated by coaches this week.
Goal Share-out Wednesday. Please pick a grade level member to share our data at the meeting.
