Jefferson Staff Weekly
4/21/24
Dear Jefferson Staff,
Teachers, thank you so much for your thoughtful answers to the survey you took on Friday. The feedback is already helping me form some ideas and solutions for next year! Paras & TAs, I'll be sending you a feedback survey this week as well, so be on the lookout for that.
4th & 5th grade will be testing this week, so it'll be another week of being off schedule. Thank you all again for the flexibility and additional support you've shown to help us all get through another week of testing. You guys are TRULY amazing and I see how people are jumping in to help each other in so many ways. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
It's time to schedule end of year evaluation meetings with all certified staff (even those who weren't in the observation cycle this year). Be on the lookout for a calendar invitation from me for a 1:1 end of year meeting. We will be primarily discussing the growth goal that you chose this year and what you did to try to meet that goal.
Finally, it's pink & blue card season! :) I am going to have these cards in the workroom for you to take what you need. The goal of these cards is to have a way to create balanced classes for next year, so it's important for your team to meet prior to completing the cards so you are filling them out using the same criteria. I don't have a due date yet but will get that to you ASAP.
I appreciate you!!
Catherine
