NEW: Fall 2019 Teacher and School Leadership Surveys
● teachers are approaching the planning, delivery, and adaptation of their curriculum; and
● principals and leadership teams are supporting teachers.
School systems are encouraged to share the surveys with teachers and school leadership teams through their staff newsletters, at upcoming professional development events, and through any other school system communications. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and will close on August 23. Respondents are asked to share their school system name so that the Department can provide school system leaders with the information collected from their staff.
NEW: U.S. Senate Youth Scholarship Opportunity
Please share with counselors. The Department and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of the 2020 United States Senate Youth Program. Two outstanding students from Louisiana will be selected to spend a week in Washington, D.C. in March of 2020 and will each receive a $10,000 scholarship from the Hearst Foundation. The Department requests your assistance with selecting these students. Please distribute to juniors or seniors who hold elected or appointed offices in school or community groups listed in the national program brochure and the logistics memo which includes the application and selection procedures. Please ensure that students understand the rules and regulations governing this competition. For test security reasons, the test secure essay topics will only be released to school systems and will not be available on the Department’s website. High school personnel should contact marian.johnson@la.gov as soon as a student request is made for the essay topics. The names of the students selected and their application portfolios must be received at the email address below no later than October 1. Finalists will be notified by October 21.
JEROME ROBINSON - SUPERVISOR OF CHILD WELFARE AND ATTENDANCE/ATHLETICS
Urgent message for all Principals/Athletic Directors/Coaches
Please be advised to use “extreme caution” when practicing/conditioning your student-athletes. Also, be cautious as to the activities you have the athletes undertaking (due to heat exhaustion) and make sure they are hydrated throughout that process. I strongly recommend that you utilize your indoor facilities as much as possible during the extremely hot days to come.
Note: Designate someone on your staff to keep up with the weather forecast daily (Including thunder & lightning).
Principals, if you don’t have athletics at your school please share this information with all duty teachers as well your Health & Physical Education Instructors.
As always, we really appreciate the jobs that you do.
