Blaze Bulletin
Edition 29 - March 20th
Greetings...
Dear teachers,
Thanks for your patience as administrators are finishing up observations for this semester. We have enjoyed being in the classrooms and watching what you do every day. It's inspiring to watch, and that's why we think it's so important to watch each other!
We will also be looking at Professionalism, so remember to jot down some things in the form we sent you earlier this year and again at semester (and I'll send it again). This will help us as we collaborate complete the Professionalism part of the evaluation cycle. Please remember to do your visit(s) to other teachers if you have not.
Please encourage your juniors to rest before the ACT on Tuesday (and eat breakfast). Give them a pep talk to do their best!
Have a great weekend, and just remember there's only one week until Spring Break!
