John Halligan
The High school Presentation will be on Monday from 8:15-9:45. We will have a regular schedule-students will report to first hour and come down with their first hour teacher at 8:10. The middle school has a presentation from 10:00-11:30.
I am very excited to have Mr. Halligan as a speaker and encourage classrooms to reflect on the presentation afterwards as a class.

Reminder of Dates
Just as a reminder staff to complete your second student survey by February 15th and complete the Survey Analysis on Oasys. I have spoken to a few of you regarding comparing your first and second survey data and if your goal was met or not and if you would change anything next time you teach the course.

Your documentation log is due on May 1st. Just a couple of reminders to make sure you have your communication log updated as well as your documentation log for Oasys.
