Cooke's Corner
Triton Preview and Review 8.7.2017
Greetings
We are back into the swing of things. Classes are set. PLCs are humming. Students are in a groove. It's great to be a Triton! This past week I had a chance to meet with our parents in a number of ways. I met with some parents in person or over the phone. I met our PTSO. I also presented to our parents at Parent Involvement Night. The same theme came up for me... they love the school and the staff. Everyone is a doing a great job with high expectations, higher support and the highest level of unconditional love. I am a little over a quarter of my one-on-one visits. I am hoping to get to every staff member before the first progress report. The admin team will be doing walkthroughs this week. We can't wait to see you in action. Please remember to wear your Sweetwater purple shirts this Wednesday!

Some Things to Think About ...
I just recently read this great article about relationships. We will definitely look at it at some point in the future. In the meantime, check it out.
Student and Teacher Relationship.
ALSO... Edcamp619 is just right around the corner. Check it out here. It's sponsored by our district. I helped coordinate it and it is one of the best things I have ever been a part of concerning teacher PD.

Thanks again everyone for your patience with master scheduling. It was an arduous task but our awesome counseling team and Mrs. Inzunza got it done! We enjoyed the collaboration with the SEA Representatives. We have provided some information about the master schedule in the google.docs site. We are going to start our master schedule series in November. We will get a jump on it earlier this year through our PLCs and FAC.
Extra Assignments and Leadership Positions. Please note that is still a working document. I also highlighted individuals who will get priority. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the different opportunities.
