MAIN OFFICE (Jill):
Registration (new student paperwork only), Parent Requests to see admin/counselor, Sign In/Out, Password resets (parents) request, Calling home
Except for absent student work, password resets, and calling home, the main office is more of an adult (parent and teacher) center and the counseling office is more of a student center. Please indicate this to students as you send them down. Please do not just say, "Go to the office," without reminding them exactly where to go.
Thank you!!!
PLANNERS
A reminder that we will be using these planners for bathroom passes as well as for students to call home. This will allow us to track our "frequent flyers." This should serve as a means to better communicate and partner with parents/guardians to address these typical avoidance behaviors (not as a punishment).
Staff Expectations
Second, since there are many "new" staff and with so much information shoved your way, I want to reiterate my expectations regarding professional dress. To be frank, the only days I am a bit concerned with are Fridays. As has been custom, jean days are Fridays, unless otherwise permitted. However, it is also considered "Navy & White" day. If you choose to wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt, it is my expectation that they adhere to the navy & white spirit theme. Otherwise, please choose a top that reflects our normal dress code (i.e. polo, blouse, etc.)
Again, I appreciate all you do. This may be a simple (and annoying to some) expectation, but it fits into the climate and culture I am continuing to try to create here.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please see me.
Homecoming (Sep. 30)
Also, the PTO is putting on a dance right after school until 5:30pm. Lauren has beautifully stated why we want to try this. Any assistance from our teachers is greatly appreciated. Please inform Lauren if you are able to help supervise (even if it is only for an hour or so).
Weebly
I keep updating my weebly page as a resource for you. Please pay special attention to the PD tab on top. If you click the tab (not the drop down menu), you will go to a page that has several embedded articles in it. Also, I keep valuable resources in regards to Kagan and 5D+ in the drop down sections as well. I will most likely reference these at upcoming meetings.
Please familiarize yourself with this web page.
