A Peak at the Week!
Chancellor News and Notes, September 9-12, 2016
Happy Kids and Happy Teachers, 7 Habits can help!
7 HABITS OF HAPPY KIDS - DEVELOPING LEADERS
REMINDERS for the WEEK
- Lesson plans: make sure you have all components requested by your specialists and administration. Check for any comments left on your plans so you will know what to add or change.
- All teachers must have posted in a visible location: content objectives, language objectives, quality questions and sentence stems, and content vocabulary (posted in a student-friendly and hopefully interactive way)
- Parent Contacts: You should have contacted all your parents at least once by this point, to touch base, introduce yourself, and have a positive contact. If you haven't try to do so before Open House.
- Parent Contact Log: Please track all parent contacts in a log that is easily accessible. You may need it for future meetings, and it helps a lot to have it in one place you can easily copy from.
- SAC room: do not send students to the SAC room for a BIR. Only send students to the SAC room with an office referral. Before sending, please verify there is someone there (we do not have a full-time person yet and are rotating other staff by the hour when needed).
- SAC and student work: Please send current work that can be done independently with any student that has an office referral and is being sent to SAC.
- Office Referral and Processing: If a student earns, yes earns, an office referral, please complete it ASAP. Parents are to be notified the same day of an office referral and consequences, and we are getting office referrals the next day, or even a couple days later at times.
Parent Lunch Day is this Friday!
We will have our first Parent Lunch day for the year. This is where our parents may join their students for lunch in the cafeteria. A few notes on this event:
- All classes will eat in their classrooms to make room for parents to have the cafeteria space. Classes will just go through the lunch line to get trays, then return to classroom. Custodians will provide trashcans in the classroom areas.
- Students with parents who come can eat in the cafeteria during their scheduled lunchtimes. Ask your students ahead of time to have a general idea of who may be eating in the cafeteria with their parents.
- Please make allowances for time for parents who may run into the recess time. This is okay, but we do not want students missing instructional time.
Teacher of the Year parking spot for the next 2 weeks!
The next three weeks are (randomly picked by Lisa!):
Sept 12: Taylor Lee
Sept 19: Nicole Best
Sept 26: Barbara Cantwell
Comet of the Week this week is...
Theleesa Jasmin in First Grade!
Kaitlyn Galaviz has nominated Mrs. Jasmin because...
"She always has a positive attitude no matter how her day is going. Mrs. Jasmin has never given up on a student but will find a way to motivate and meet the student’s needs. She is a role model but most of all she INSPIRES!"
Mrs. Jasmin will receive the Comet of the Week parking spot this week, along with a jeans pass, a snack shack coupon, and a certificate! :) She will nominate next week's COW as well!
