CHS9 Staff Bulletin 11-1-19
"Everyone. Everyday. Whatever it takes."
Gorka's Gab
We finished this week with 118 voting stickers! Congratulations, we get jeans until January! If you weren't able to vote yet please find time today! Early voting lasts until 7 0'clock tonight. It was so fast and easy going downtown (207 W. Phillips) during our school day so try to go right after school! Tuesday will be your next time to vote and then you will have to vote from your specific neighborhood's voting location!
Thank you Mrs. Causey and StuCo for our Happy Halloweenies! You and your students are always so gracious. We appreciate the support you provide to our staff! These little things do matter!
Next week we begin our "fall" instructional rounds from November 4th to 15th. This is our third year conducting rounds. Our rounds calendar link is below so that you would have easy access in finding it in our bulletin. As a reminder, "instructional rounds" are an excellence PD opportunity to support your own practices and gain ideas from fellow teammates.
Enjoy this beautiful fall weekend!
