A Note From Miss Fisher
#WishWell
Many thanks to everyone that pitched in to help Mrs. Earixson this past week. She handled the news with such flexibility and grace, thank you for the support and encouragement you offered her! Mrs. Earixson will be a 1st Grade Teacher at Perry Harrison and will start with her new bunch on Tuesday. A tight turn around for her, so let's send her some #PandaLove to get through this week!
#WeCelebrate
I received the following email from a new staff member and I had to share with you all because YOU make PES #PAWSome!! Thank you!! Keep up the #PositiveAttitudes and#HardWork #PandaFamily!!
The first grade team, well that goes without even saying, they are all amazing!!! They not only share everything, they also make copies, offer suggestions, and support me in every way possible. Mrs. Boecke goes above and beyond, supporting me. She is absolutely the BEST curriculum coach I have ever had the pleasure to work with in a school. She has been instrumental in helping me get materials, log-in's for websites, developing PDP, etc. Mrs. Slaughter and Mrs. Berry are always so kind and helpful. They are two of the most understanding ladies, especially when I make mistakes.
NCEES
Mrs. Petty and I will be working to finalize PDPs this week, thank you for working on them this week!
Walkthroughs
We have been revising our Walkthrough tool based on 18-19 requirements from ASIS and considerations from our School Improvement Plan. Mrs. Petty, Mrs. Boecke, and myself will spend this week calibrating the tool and checking for inter-rater reliability. We will share this feedback with the SLT on October 2nd to determine any final revisions. I wanted you to have a heads up so when you see the three of us together with our devices to know it is more about us and this tool, not you! I know walkthroughs and observations can sometimes generate anxious feelings, but wanted to relieve you of that potential stress this week!
I am confident that once we go live, these walkthroughs will only reveal staff following the PES Bottom Lines and areas for us to learn and grow together so #PESAllKidsCan!!
Proud to be your principal!
:) Miss Fisher
