Back to routines
Some of our students are going to need some much needed structure coming back for this break and a bit of love (both the TLC and TL kind).
There are no house meetings so you can take the time to help build routines again. This is the perfect time to increase structure and introduce new management procedures if needed.
Special Awards Spreadsheet
The sheet can be accessed online at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j__3DDUrlDiMcgD3ArzwU8GnThGqY-9xmHphyCadTiw/edit?usp=sharing
Below are the directions:
1. Scroll down to your class
2. DOUBLE check to make sure you have all your students listed and they are in the correct house. Make changes/additions if needed.
3. Put in a number 1 in the box your student earned.
4. The sheet automatically saves so just complete this by Tuesday January 19.
Dismissal Procedures
We have sent out a message to parents about making sure they bring their laminated cards with them. We appreciate your help in communicating this with parents who do not have these and referring them to the office for a temporary one.
Please continue to make sure parents have their pickup cards. The police said this is one of the best things they like about our school's dismissal for 3 reasons.
1. It reassures parents the person next to them is supposed to be here
2. It highlights individuals who might not need to be on campus
3. It is a very visible signal to the community that there is a system in place to identify people whop are supposed to be here. The police said this is a very strong, proactive, deterrent to those who should not be on campus.
The police were very complementary of our dismissal procedures and I want to encourage your vigilance. If there are any suspicious vehicles around campus, call on the radio immediately so the office can respond quickly. Having everyone be on alert is the best way to make sure only those with a legitimate purpose are on campus.
Please let me know if there is any support you need with any of the above. I will be stationed in the area closest to Scott Drive for the remainder of December, but can come to any spot if needed.

Reminders and Focus
Our security fence will start construction over the next few weeks. This is part of the bond money and the purpose for this is to increase safety and security. There will also be new sidewalks, ramps, and pads constructed to accommodate the foot traffic that will be impacted due to the fences.
- Our goal is to be level 3 (or moving close to it) in most areas on the district rubric for TEKS centered teaching. I have seen many great examples of students interacting with the TEKS in class. Be sure to not only post them, but have discussions so that students understand the goal of their learning.
- Continue to build strong, positive relationships with all the students. Smile often. Choose to see the good and positive. Focus on growth and celebrate often. Nothing is more helpful in the learning process than the effects of trust and joy.
- PLC's should be meeting weekly to answer the 4 questions. Common Formative Assessments should done after mapping out the six weeks, then planning for learning should take place. If you need any support in this, please contact our coaches, Erin, and myself.
- Rigor, relevance, and engagement strategies should be focus on when planning for learning
