The Polser Pride
Week of January 13th - January 17th, 2019
What's Happening this Week?
Staff,
Thank you all for holding down the fort and helping Heather out while I was out last week for 3 days. I have been battling an infection in my leg from a fall that I had over the holiday! I am busy catching up and I apologize if I have not answered your questions or responded to my email.
There are a few things happening this week. Thursday, January 16th is a pajama day that was scheduled by our top earner from the Polar Bear Dash. Thursday, January 16th is also our Donuts with Loved Ones from 7:20-7:45 a.m. in the cafeteria. Please make sure you have added the information to your newsletters.
We have a few staff updates to mention. On Wednesday, January 15th, Jennifer Boling will begin as our new Attendance Clerk! We are so excited to have her join our team. Please also welcome Haley Nall, who is our full time substitute to fill open jobs on our campus. She has already been working and doing a GREAT job.
The Panorama Employee Engagement Survey will be sent via email on January 21st and run through January 31st. A link will be sent to your LISD email to complete the survey. We would love to have 100% participation.
We have updated the duty schedule for this semester. I have included the information below. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with coverage.
Since we received Restorative Practice training in August, it is important for us to review our practice and ensure we are providing appropriate support as needed. I am asking that all teachers complete the Restorative Practice survey below by 1/23. We are meeting with a coach in February and this information will help support restorative practice implementation on our campus.
Mid year goal progress checks will begin the week of January 27th. Please make sure you have updated MOY progress on your LEAD Student Progress Goal Document in STRIVE. Make sure you have also updated your ePortfolio with evidence of goal progress prior to your conference. Let your appraiser know if you have questions.
The afternoon duty teachers have asked that all grade levels are packing up students at the end of the day with enough time to get them outside by 3:25. If grade levels are releasing students late, it tends to back up our traffic. Please know I appreciate your cooperation.
Please consider volunteering for one of our STEM New Enrollment Family Nights. I still need a few spots filled on the spreadsheet. Thanks in advance for your support!
I know this is a lot of information and I do apologize. I appreciate all of your hard work! Have wonderful rest of your week!
