DB ACCESS NIGHT
Dobyns-Bennett has scheduled AP/ACCESS Night for January 28th @ 5:30 p.m. in the Pridemore Theater. This event will provide information to students and parents about EPSO opportunities at Dobyns-Bennett High School in the way of Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, and Dual Credit opportunities. (Although there are additional ways to earn EPSO's at DB, we want to communicate these before registration begins on January 29th!) Other opportunities will be shared with students within their Program of Study area and during sessions which will be held Fall 2019. I wanted to communicate this date with you so you can place it on your calendar and begin to communicate the information with parents.
Once the TNDOE shares with us the "EPSO Ready" data file, we will be able to encourage students and communicate directly with them what has been recommended as potential EPSO's based on their TVAAS data in addition to their ASPIRE performance.
As always, DB wants to continue to push students to the next level and challenge them to be the best they can educationally. We are looking forward to sharing these opportunities with parents and students January 28th!
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks so much!

Tuition and Zoning Requests
The tuition/zoning application process for the 19-20 school year will open March 1. I know I have had recent questions from parents regarding next year, so hopefully this is beneficial information for you.
Tech Support
In Lucas' absence, the following support will be provided to JSMS for tech support:
Hi Holly
I wanted to make sure you had an idea of the technician coverage that will be happening for Sevier. Either Jon or I will make sure the time period from 8 to 11am every weekday is covered until further notice. If there happens to be a situation where neither of us can offer coverage, we will inform you as soon as we can.
I would like to make the point of having the teachers and students submit their technical issues through our support portal by clicking on the life preserver icon here: http://apps.k12k.com/knowledge/index.html or on their desktop (Windows only). The teachers and staff are more than welcome to call us at extension 0123, should they not have a computer available.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Aaron
Kyle's Corner...
Welcome back! I wanted to remind everyone about their current class rosters and NCE scores for the past two years. Hopefully, you had time before Christmas or will make time in January to dig into your students' TCAP data and determine your greatest opprtunites for growth with your current students.
As we discussed at the grade level meeting on December 14, we would like for each grade level content to identify students who will be on our "focus list" this year. This "focus list" is simply a list of students that you beleive can be at the proficient level on this year's TNReady assessment.
Please spend time as a grade level content identifying the following:
- 6 Special Education Students - Any student with an IEP that you are striving to help score proficient on this year's TNReady. This list can and should include any special education student that you beleive can reach the proficient level - even if they were proficient on last year's assessment.
- 12 New Proficient Students - This list is for non-sped students that were not proficient on last year's assessment that you believe can score proficient this year.
Please record your students on the Google Sheet below. There is a tab for each content. We will review your grade level's "focus list" at our January grade level meeting. Therefore, it is important that each team has this completed by Friday, January 25, 2019.
Focused Student List for Proficiency - 6th Grade
Let me know if you have any questions or need support!
Duty and Supervision Action Team Report
- It is an expectation that you will be at your duty at the assigned day and time. This is happening for the vast majority of you, but we have noticed that this can be an issue from time to time. We will be watching this more closely and will send an email directly to the teacher who is not on duty. Please be aware that this will be documented toward your professionalism at the end of the year.
- When you are absent, we need you to make arrangements to have your duty covered. Subs should not be covering your duty. A suggestions was made to work it out in advance with a partner teacher to cover for each other and to notify with a quick text when you are out. Whatever you plan, you need to make sure you have the duty covered. This also applied to lunch and hall/bathroom duty. All locations are essential for supervision and we will be held liable if there is not coverage due to negligence and an incident happens in that area.
- Morning duty is 7:15-7:35. Please make morning plans so that you show up on time and plan to stay until 7:35 at your duty location. Afternoon duty is 2:45-3:05. On duty days, you will need to plan to have a quick exit out of your classroom to be at your duty location on time.
I have included links to our duty schedules below for your reference. They are also available in the JSMS shared drive. It is the work of all of us that contributes to making Sevier a great place to work and a safe place for our students to learn. Thank you all for all that you do!
