Cell Phone Policy - Includes Earbuds
We are lucky to have nearly One-to-One devices for our classrooms. Students must have their devices off and away during school hours, this includes earbuds. We are working on a Chromebook security program similar to the one used on iPads.
Vaping - this is a huge problem in Secondary Schools. Vaping tools can be in the shape of jump drives and smoke-odor free. If you see or suspect please let admin know.
News:
SEL - week 15 ideas = Ask for Help: change your mindset - you don't have to do it all, reassess your priorities, and take advantage of employee self-care programs.
TOP Survey #2 - the next survey is open Dec 2- 13. We'll have time during PLC to discuss and time during our Staff Meeting on Dec 4th to complete.
Common Assessment - if you have not done one already, plan a Common Assessment with your PLC team. Send me your plan.
Glow Day - each student will need their own white or neon t-shirt. Primary and Intermediate classrooms can buddy-up for the event.
Informal Observations - I'll be popping in for informal observations between now and the end of December.
Complete ESS Courses - if you have not completed all of your ESS courses, for many the end of November is a hard deadline.
Boot marks on floors - they have to be cleaned by hand. Please help our custodians by reminding students not to scuff our floors.
