Teachers will be here on Monday for our first PL/PW Day of the school year. We will begin with breakfast at 8:00 am and Jill Palmer will be here to walk K-5 teachers through data-mining. Jill Palmer is our district’s data guru, and she has the skinny on which district data sources are the most helpful to K-5 teachers as they think about and prepare for goal-team conversations. She will also give teachers an overview of Performance Plus, which is a feature in the TAC on eSchool. She will be with us for about an hour-and-a-half, showing you how to gain access and where to find the data you’re looking for. We’ll break before goal teams, and I will have a goal teams protocol for each of the teams to fill out as a record of your conversations. Lunch will be on your own, and the afternoon will be for you to use however you like, but I highly suspect many of you will be working on grade card reporting!
If you teach in a grade where you’ll be visiting the health fair, please pretty please be on time! Check that schedule to know when you’re supposed to be there, leave your room a minute ahead of your arrival time so you’ll be ready to roll when the volunteers are ready to serve you! And don’t forget to thank the volunteers that come here to help! My mamma will be here helping out that day, too, because when you’re a retired mamma of a school principal, you sometimes get volun-told to show up and help out! HA!
Thursday is the day for us to complete all 4 drills back-to-back (to-back-to-back). I have contacted our school police officer, Officer Ball, as well as our closest fire department, that would like to participate in our drills. In the event of inclement weather, we will cancel the entire event and reschedule for another time that will not scare the critters out of the children by hosting a drill during a storm!
Friday is a STUCO Spirit Day, and timely for October, it’s a PINK OUT Day! You may wear your matching Delaware staff shirt, or you may wear something-anything that is pink! Students and staff are encouraged to bring a 50-cent donation.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility regarding the last-minute fire awareness activities! When I placed the date on my Outlook calendar, I clicked on the wrong Thursday (they’re so tiny on the screen!!), which is why I had it on my calendar for Thursday the 15th, rather than Thursday the 8th. Alas, I should wear my reading glasses more often to avoid these types of mistakes! My thanks to you for making time in your schedules to attend these fun activities!
Have a GREAT week!!
