Afternoon Duty This Week - May 21 - 25, 2018
It is vitally important these last 2 weeks that everyone be at their location as quickly as possible. Please continue to let us know when you see or hear things as it is a tremendous help in allowing us to be proactive and prevent incidents.
Thank you!
STAAR Mania
Mr. Johnson, Ms. Rising, and I will call the students out to explain the activities and the expectations to the students so that you can get your station set up and ready for the kids. We will house the non-participants in a few rooms before we release the kids.
Thank you so much for helping with this!
Final Exams
If you are using a project as your exam, you need to let Dr. Holmgreen know. In the future, this should be approved ahead of time. It is also a good idea to let parents know so that they can help ensure that their child completes the project. You can send a note home with the students, have parents sign it and the students return it to you for extra points. This can also count as a parent contact for you.
Campus Needs Assessment (CNA)
Be sure that you are meeting and working through the questions. I am filing as much as I can into the shared folder. Remember that you can also use the data we have on our campus that I shared with you previously---I have renamed it "WAMS Academic and Discipline Data_17-18". Remember that the purpose is to "drill down" through the information in order to determine a root cause--one that we can influence--that will make a difference for us if we put things in place to address it.
Congratulations to the A+ Team!
