16.5 days until Christmas Break!
Welcome back. I hope everyone ate way too much last week and is recovering from the tryptophan coma. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be having any snow days yet.
BIG Shoutout to Jim Kerns on his pending retirement. I know in my time at Buckeye, I've certainly come to rely on Jim for his sugar-coated thoughts and quiet demeanor :) . What a loss for Buckeye, but what a gain for all those kids and grandkids who will have full time access. Congratulations to you, Jim, you deserve to relax.
Many positive thoughts going out to Dan and his family.
Business
New Business:
- OTES Committee-- BLEA has requested to meet ASAP to clean up the language in our OTES Handbook. Just FYI, current handbook language indicates anyone who receives a developing (including value added teachers whose scores pull them down) will be put on an improvement plan. I don't anticipate any issues with BLEA in updating this. In June, this committee was assigned to me, Dan, Gabe, and Dawn. Dan, Gabe, Dawn, please use this Doodle today to let me know when you're available so I can coordinate with Elizabeth Seich for a date in the next week or two.
- Coaching with Amy Moore-- Kelli, when you have a chance, I need your preferred dates (Use this form to indicate your date preferences). So far I have requested everyone's first preference: 1/17 for JH, 1/18 for Primary, and 1/16 for HS. I will let you know when I hear from her.
- Board Updates-- Don't forget to do your Board Updates and put them in this folder so Vicki can pull for Board meetings.
Old Business:
- Book Study -- We are reading Ch. 7, 8, and 9 for the 12/13 A-Team
- MAX-- Per the DLT, remind your teachers the goal is to keep working towards at least 1 strategy twice a week between now and December 20.
