Staff – With taking out the two days for finals we have 33 days left in the semester. It is crunch time and your students need to feel your expectations to pass your class. We now have the following ways for your students to get assistance on their work:
- After School Tutoring 3:30-5:30 – Mon, Tues, Thurs in F4 and Wednesday in cafeteria
- Revolution Prep – Expectation is you have had your AT kids log-in and make an appointment. **Available during the week 8AM-10PM, weekends 9AM-6PM
- Homework Helpline – Mon-Thursday – 3:30-7:30PM – 973-4411
The MIFI hotspots have arrived and we are excited to get these out to our kids. We will be distributing the MIFI hotspots to families on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-6:00PM at the pool entrance. PLEASE tell your students about this great opportunity to have free WIFI. One per household. Parents must attend with the student for permission forms to be collected.

Professional Accountability - We have ongoing duties beyond teaching that are required to be completed in a timely fashion. Please make sure you are completing the following tasks:
- Read your email – This is still the preferred method of sharing building expectations.
- Have you entered your grades in a timely manner? Your students and parents rely on grade entry as feedback to make decisions on their academic performance.
- Arrive to work by 7:50AM and leave after 3:20PM
- Perform your duty as expected.

PD Information from Mrs. Traylor
This week we will have 2 different session at the same time.
- One session is for the SRG pilot teachers only in Rm E5. Please bring printed artifacts of learning.
- The other session will be completing SAEBRS. Nora will be sending out a link of a video for a refresher. If you are a new teacher or need the in person training you will be meeting with Nora in Rm D5A.
This week for CLC is plan time on your own. If you still want to meet in groups and plan that is perfectly fine. I am also available during this time.
