Cooke's Corner
Eastlake Middle School
Greetings!
Welcome back! Let's get to it ...
1. We have a faculty meeting this Wednesday to discuss and prep for EOCs as well as to hear from teacher leadership.
2. We will be hosting students from China as part of the Eduabroad program starting late January or early February. We hope you will consider hosting a student. You will be compensated (see flyer below).
3. I am beginning to meet with all PLC leads (along with Mrs. Inzunza and the counselors) in the next few weeks to discuss the master schedule. It's a preliminary meeting that will lead into a department meeting when we get back from the winter break.
4. We will start our new orientation program training for current 7th graders who are interested in being WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Leaders. It's a great leadership experience and these students will help shape the first experience of our new incoming 7th graders. Please contact Molly Bulwa for more information. Please recommend some great 7th graders! Information about WEB can be found here (LINK).
5. Safe School Ambassadors starts next semester. We are looking for students who are interested in creating a more inclusive environment at ELM and educating our school about the issues of bullying. Both 7th and 8th graders can participate in this great training in January. If you would like to nominate a great student, please contact Mr. Mitrovich. Space is limited and priority will be given to students in the K-Build program. Information regarding SSA can be found here. (LINK)
6. Let's get together and conquer a mountain. I hope you will join us for our second hike on set for Cowles Mountain. We are still trying to see what the best date might be for all. Breakfast burritos to all who conquer!
7. Let's get out of our pods. We are planning to have a staff social during lunch before we go on the break. Be on the lookout for the invitation. It's going to be yummy!
8. See you at the Winter Staff Party on December 1st at David Mitrovich's House. It will be a great time.
Great Things Happening at ELM!
