News and Notes
PBS
The more you focus on the positive, the more positive you will get. Restock your Bulldog Bucks, Principal Prides, and Positive Office Referrals to ensure you have what you need to positively reinforce students and staff for awesome behavior!
Bulldog Buck Payday should happen at a minimum of twice a month. Make sure kids get to spend their Bulldog Bucks or they will become worthless. Your store should be restocked! A few items are left in the office if you want to get a few more things.
Summer School
Current JCPS teachers may begin applying February 25th on Talent Ed. Each building principal will hire their own summer school teachers.
Classroom teachers need to make contact with parents through phone calls to the parents of the students that need to attend summer school for remedial work and to meet the requirements of Senate Bill 319. Parents need to understand the urgency of their child's needs and give summer school serious consideration.
Student-Led Conferences would be a great time to get parents to enroll students for Summer School.
Absences
If you have a planned absence, please let me know ahead of time. There are blue sheets in the file divider in the office. Personal days must be approved 2 weeks in advance. Sick days do not need approval, but I would like to get them on the calendar as soon as possible.
SSTs
It's not too late to start an SST on a student struggling academically or behaviorally. It's best to document concerns and strategies being used to address those concerns.
Grades in Infinite Campus
Update your grades at a minimum of the 15th and 30th of each month.
Posting text levels needs to be done monthly in Infinite Campus - this is a district expectation.
Influenza A and B
Arriving later than last year, the flu is hitting!
Please take some of the disinfecting wipes and wipe your desks, doorknobs, Chromebooks, iPads and whatever else you think needs disinfecting. If you need more disinfecting wipes, please let me know.
The best way to prevent the spread of the virus is good hand washing, so teachers should encourage students to wash their hands. Ask students to not share any drinks or food items.
Please send anyone to the nurses that you think might have a fever or be exhibiting signs of being ill.
Flu in children usually causes at least 2 or 3 of the following symptoms:
- a fever that starts suddenly (a temperature equal to or greater than 38 degrees Celsius)
- body aches or pains.
- headache.
- dry cough which may become moist.
- sore throat.
- low energy or fatigue.
- chills or shivering.
- runny or stuffy nose.
