Happy Friday!
It's been a great first week back and we've hit the ground running! We had several new students begin on Tuesday. Thank you for making them feel comfortable and welcomed to our Parkside family!
Board Appreciation Month is January and this year’s theme is Planting the Seeds of Success. The Board member we will be honoring is Trish Bode. She has been invited to our campus next week where we will present her with a special gift. Click here to view a kid friendly video about the role of a school board member.
I'd like to remind all teachers to sign your 504's as they come in. This ensures that we are in compliance. If you need assistance in signing, please get with a team leader or come see me!
Many of you asked for the Depth of Knowledge video that we showed at our staff development on Monday. Here you go!
As we approach the end of the 2nd nine weeks it is that time again to update your SLO goals. All teachers who are on or off cycle must update their SLO. Please have your SLO goals updated by January 24th for your progress Checkin #2. If you need help or have questions we are here to help you.
I also want to remind you that we will be having our mid-year goal conferences over the next 2 weeks at the beginning of all PLCs. Be prepared to share by having your evidence up to date.
