Budget lock-in session: 2/10 @ 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Please take some time to give input on this link.
Attendance
Last week, we had a high number of teachers that did not meet their attendance responsibilities by 10 AM. We need for you to do your part. When you do not meet that deadline you negatively impact Julio's deadlines.
Deliverable: Restroom Logs
ALL teachers are required to have a restroom log from this point forward. We need you to have a restroom log, this will help us identify the student(s) and ensure that there's accountability, disciplinary action, and community restitution.
All grades in 2-5 are required to have a restroom log; this will support any investigation that deals with restroom vandalism.
ATTENTION 4-5 Grade Teachers: The new restrooms are being vandalized by 4/5 graders. Please closely monitor your students and ensure that you have restroom logs; I may be asking for those records when investigating these issues.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
