SUMMATIVE CONFERENCE:
Your PPfT Summative Report is now available in HCP. As part of the appraisal process, we need to have a summative conference to review the report no later than May 23, 2018. While I very much value this reflective time with you, I want to offer you the opportunity to waive your summative if you so desire. To make your summative wishes known, please complete and turn in the attached PPfT Summative and Goal Sheet. This sheet needs to be turned into Melinda Flores in the main office ASAP.
Also, on your summative, make sure you choose one specialty - an area you will be an expert in for your team. What will you do to advance your knowledge in this area? Read books and articles? Attend summer/fall professional development? I want to hear your plan!

MOVING NEWS!
BACK TO SCHOOL BOX:
It might be a good idea to pack a box of essential items and things you will need immediately upon your arrival at Lucy Read. This is the first box you’ll open when you come back in the fall. Stock it with scissors, stapler, paper clips, pen and paper, thumbtacks, etc. What will you need for Meet the Teacher, the first day of school, that first week...start wrapping your mind around this as you pack!
BLUE BINS AND BOXES:
We will be receiving 300 blue bins on Monday! We've also requested one large gondola box for each teacher. Blue bins that are full can be stored in room 103. The bins should be piled four high on the rolley cart.
PHONES:
Remember, you will personally take your phone home with you this summer!
