Panther Press
for the week of January 30th
Message from the Principal
All teachers are required to monitor their students in the lunchroom as they go through the line and while at their lunch table. It is not the role of the lunchroom staff to monitor your students.
Do not forget to post at least one grade this week. Last week we sent out email reminders for gradebooks. We will send out memorandums for the start of the second semester. Keep in mind all teachers are required to administer at least one unit test every 4.5 weeks. We will be checking for these after progress reports. Documentation of RTI for these should be noted in the comment section of your gradebook.
We will be introducing an ACT Aspire Student and Teacher Incentive Program in the coming weeks. Look for more details in February.
All teachers are required to have a substitute folder in their classroom complete with class rosters and emergency lessons. We understand that from time to time thing happen and a full blown lesson cannot be created to cover an absence so it is an imperative that emergency lessons are in the folder. We still have issues with finding enough substitutes and it really is not fair to any of your colleagues to have to create a lesson for your class when they end up having to cover.
All students are required to have passes when in the hall during class time. There is no exception to this. We have way too many students in the hall after the tardy bell and quite a few of them have been let out by teachers without a pass.
Go Panthers!
