Principal's Notes
October 11, 2016
Campus Safety
Please provide me with a list of locations where cameras are needed, on each campus. Please mark these on the existing campus map.
Grades
SPED Progress Reports were due by the end of the day on Friday, October 7th. Please review these reports and ensure that they have been completed.
IEP Review and Sign-Off; Testing Accommodations
I will be distributing an IEP review form. All staff working with students with disabilities should sign, indicating that they have read and reviewed students' IEPs and/or BIP as applicable.
*Remember to schedule Sally McGuirk to meet with your teachers to review individual student IEPs and testing accommodations.
SLO Submission
Teachers should be working on completing SLOs. SLOs can be submitted once Assessment Trackers have been distributed. The SPED historical data matrix (as applicable) and pre-testing (AIMSweb, STAR, SRI) should have been completed last week. Please follow up to ensure that any missing items are completed this week. The length of instructional time for SLOs is October 2016 - May 2017.
OPEN HOUSE
The primary goal of the Fall Open House is to engage parents in their child's learning. Here are some ideas for increasing parent engagement throughout the year:
1. Have parents sign in, and list the preferred contact method (cell phone, email, text, etc.)
2. Have parents complete missing documents (emergency contact forms, lunch forms, etc.)
3. Provide copies of the classroom syllabus.
4. Be prepared to discuss the classroom curriculum, expectations, and exciting projects.
*Be sure to let Maribeth Macicca know of any exciting activities that are occurring. Also let me know what you have planned, I'll be sure to stop by!
Explicit Instruction
Please remember to focus on EI with your teachers. Our effort to learn about and begin implementing the EI Instructional Framework will continue throughout the year. If you haven't already, please provide your teachers with a copy of the EI Framework Grid, and implement the EI introductory activity during your faculty meeting (see Sarah B.'s email).
Tenure Celebration
10/12/16, 6:30 pm. Please plan to attend the tenure celebration, which will be held prior to the BOE meeting.
Photo Shoot at Myers, CTE
10/20/16. Please remind teachers as applicable.
Letterhead
Please be sure that any letterhead leaving your office is accurate and current. I've noticed that some letterhead is outdated (address, phone number, etc.).
