ADVISORY GRADES:
Thank you for a nearly unanimous vote at our staff meeting last week to ensure ALL students advisory grades are updated once more before our end of the year grades are entered. This means, by Friday (5/29), you will have a list of grades that will need to be updated for Advisory. All changes will be highlighted on a Google Sheet tab with your name as the title. Then, adjust the grade if needed (Pass/Incomplete). Please have all grades updated by Wednesday (6/3).

ATTENDANCE/iPad LOST MODE UPDATE:
This week please complete your attendance by 12:00 PM on Tuesday, 5/26. We will use this data to generate the list of students that have NOT engaged with FOUR or MORE classes. We will send that list out to all staff. If you believe that any of the students on the list should NOT have their iPads placed in lost mode (bricked) please indicate that and a brief reasoning statement. We will place all other students on that list in lost mode until they contact us to make an engagement plan. We plan to send the list out on Thursday, 5/28. If we receive the attendance data earlier than that we'll send it out earlier.
STUDENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
Please continue to remind students that you feel would represent CMMS well about joining Yearbook or Leadership!
EVALUATIONS:
All certificated eVALs will wrap up by the end of this week, all classified staff evaluations will be completed through the Informed K-12 site (same site as requesting days off, etc.) and will be completed by your evaluator before June 15. If you have any questions contact your evaluator directly.
