ISTEP
Great job this week during ISTEP. A huge thank you for thinking through issues in your classroom and troubleshooting problems. The amount of communication and logistics that take place during those two hours is very impressive, this would not be going this smoothly if it wasn't for our great school culture!
This week we will have 8th grade testing on Tuesday and Wednesday. 7th grade testing will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Collaboration
You will be meeting with teams during collaboration. We have a team leader meeting on Wednesday after school and this gives you a chance to discuss items prior to that meeting. Two topics for the team leader meeting will be cell phone policy and grading policy. Also discuss end of year plans for your team.
Water Bottles
Just a reminder students should only have clear water bottles with clear liquid. We had two situations this week that involved rumors of students have alcohol in their bottles due to the color and students talking.
If you see a student with anything other then a clear bottle with clear liquid then it needs to be thrown away.
Progress Report Grades
Progress report grades are due Monday before you leave at the end of the school day. Progress reports will go out on Tuesday.
As a reminder, DO NOT update grades until directed by the office.
Hallway Supervision
Continue to be visible in the hallways during passing periods. Encourage students to get to class and correct any misbehavior you may witness. More importantly be there to talk with students and form relationships.
If you're out, turn it out
Keep that saying in mind with your energy consumption. If you are out of your room, turn the lights off. Before you leave each evening take a look around and turn off power strips, TVs, monitors, etc...
Schedule
