Committee Meetings on Thursday
Committees that need to meet are Sunshine, Community Outreach & Blue Zone. After your meeting, please send out an email to all staff with any pertinent information that was discussed. The Sunshine committee should also share information about dues, amount of money in account, and what the money will be used for.
The Community Outreach group will begin planning our Veteran's Day assembly. Many thanks to Becky for taking the lead on this!
If you did not sign up for a committee and want to join, please feel free to do so! If not, you will take this time to plan.
Principal Den
On Tuesday, we will be meeting together during your conference period in Room 301. Dawn Bailey, Area ELA Coordinator will be joining us to share ELA resources and will also focus on your team's T-TESS goal, i.e. shared reading, conferring or reading strategies. Please bring your computer and most importantly, your questions about the unit documents. (Dannis & Gage - I will meet with you in your planning room.)
I need everyone to go into STRIVE and check to see if both of your goals - Professional & SLO have been "approved". Open each goal to check the status. While you are in there, please also check that your Target Completion Date is set for 2019 (not 2018).
The T-TESS Appraiser List is attached below. Anna has also created a list of teachers who are eligible for a Waiver this school year. One of us will send you an email with the appropriate form that needs to be signed by you and your appraiser. If you are new to the campus and/or the district, you are not eligible for a waiver. You will be receiving an email soon with more information about setting up your announced and unannounced T-TESS observations.
