CHS9 Staff Bulletin 1-31-2020
"Everyone. Everyday. Whatever it takes."
Gorka's Gab
I hope you were able to stop by the library to enjoy a baked potato at lunch today! Thank you Mrs. Hill-Derkoski for being our campus chef! Make sure to be scrolling down in the bulletin to keep up with what is happening next. The baked potato luncheon has been in our upcoming events since the winter break.
Also, I wanted to remind everyone that we (Conroe High School) are still taking our ADA attendance at 9:00AM. Please make sure you set a reminder. Mrs. Stokes is sending reminder emails to those staff members who miss the window.
I have left the PD links below. Not everyone has submitted their "ways to grow our instruction". Even if you have shared your choice with your appraiser please submit your choice in the Google Doc. Thanks.
The Spring semester "jean's pass" links can be found below. You you like wearing your jeans on Monday and Wednesday please pay online or just stop by and pay Audrey. Remember this is on the honor system. The money you pay goes back to you through luncheons, STAAR snacks, ect.
This Wednesday Dr. Null and School Board members will be stopping by our campus at 8:00AM. They will be here to recognize our campus's Ambassador Award Recipients.
I hope you all enjoy this beautiful Super Bowl weekend!

Be Pro-active. Always communicate with Parents. Doing this in a timely manner saves a lot of issues. Talking to the parent is far better than leaving an email or voice mail. This may take several tries but keep trying because it is well worth it!
Stay on top of your paperwork, calls, and grades.
Thanks for all your hard work!

SPED/504/ESL/RtI
New tracking sheets have been delivered. If you still need to turn in the old tracking sheets, they can be given to any case manager, Hayhurst, or Pacheco.
Take a look at the STAAR pages and let Hayhurst know of any changes that need to be made. She will make them when we return from Spring Break.
RtI: We will be preparing to meet with Junior High feeder schools soon to start administering assessments to their with graders, our future freshmen.
Student Support RtI Team; Sandra Matson- Coordinator/Reading ELL, Julia Venghaus-Administrator, Linda McAdams-Counselor, Angela Morrow- Reading Comprehension, Lee Marshall-English, Nicole Mershimer-Math/Math ELL, Emily Black- ELL, Sheri Nuon-Special Education, Chelsie Newman-Biology/ELL, and Jonni Hayhurst-Diagnostician.
504/ Testing: I have sent several feedback forms today, please complete all forms by the due date. The good news is this will complete all our annual 504 meetings!!!!! Remember everything that you include on the form is shared with the parent (some parents have even asked for a copy of the feedback). So, from now on you will only receive feedback forms if it's a new evaluation or parent requests a review.
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
Morrow's Message
During the faculty meeting next week, English will receive their cognates list, and we will visit briefly about how to best utilize lists in all content area classrooms.
