Pinkston PREP
Week of November 12
Message from Mr. Perla
We are five days away from our holiday break! This week is a crucial week for students enrolled in our dual credit courses. Students currently failing their college courses will be withdrawn. While withdrawing is a last resort, we understand the impact of a failing grade on a student's college transcript. The leadership team will be working together to compile a list of students needing to drop a course. We appreciate your efforts in progress monitoring every Friday to ensure positive student outcomes.
I will be conducting classroom observations this week. Every teacher will be visited a minimum of 15 minutes prior to our holiday break. I am still looking for our terrific three: WTL, CT and 11 minute protocol.
Continue to provide high quality instruction and end the week right!
Please post your lesson plans on the new google drive folder. You can access the folder HERE!
Reminders:
- Be present in the hallways
- Upload lesson plans by Sunday 12:00 PM
- Review the calendar for pertinent dates and commitments
