Make sure you have also completed the Employee Handbook Acknowledgement and Grading Guidelines form. These were emailed to you earlier this month.
This is due by September 13!
Advisory Changes Protocol
If you would like to make a change to a student in your advisory, you need to send an email requesting the change to Mrs. Huerta and include the teacher who is the current advisory teacher of the student.
That way everyone is in the loop.
If you don't do it this way, Mrs. Huerta will send the email back to you!

Mark your calendar - Meet the Teacher Tailgate
The city of Lago Vista is planning a HOMECOMING PARADE!
Teachers and staff will be available at the end of the parade route from 6:00 - 7:30 pm on Wednesday, September 18, to meet with parents and students. Students who attend with a parent will earn a free homework pass! Come support our school during homecoming week and meet these teachers your students have been talking about. It's a win-win!
iPad Distribution
Students who have still not picked up their iPads will be able to do so during lunch today. Please begin using Canvas in your classes even if there are still not students with iPads. We are working with parents of students who owe money and are unable to pay, so there isn't any reason why a student should not be able to get their iPad other than they aren't bringing back their forms!
Goals Due in Eduphoria
Part of the NexGen Appraisal System is setting goals for this school year.
Your goals can reflect support of these goals AND/OR something that you feel as a teacher needs your focus this school year:
Campus Goals for This Year:
Emphasis area 1:
- Increasing student engagement levels and time on task reflected through walkthrough data
Emphasis Area 2:
- 97% or better average daily attendance rate.
Emphasis Area 3:
- 90% or better passing rates with all sub pops on STAAR testing
Ask your team leaders for help on how to access this in Eduphoria. It is in the Strive function.

Make sure you sign it (legibly) and then the students write their name on it and come to the reception desk to put their tickets in the bucket. Please do not send them during instructional time (I know...you wouldn't think of it)! Thanks!
