Affirmation of the Week
I notice and celebrate the progress my students make and it motivates them to make even greater gains.
We are excited to see all of the gains students are making! This week MAP testing will continue. Mr. Zimmerman has met with teams and emailed detailed instructions. Please positively encourage students to do their best. See Mr. Zimmerman's emails for details and contact him directly if you have further questions.
The first semester has not been without its challenges, but we are making progress each day, and we look forward to continued growth and collaboration. No matter what challenges the day brings, it's great to have such a talented and dedicated staff to work with. Now it's time to celebrate! A staff party will be held to celebrate everything we can accomplish as a team.
When: 12/13/17 from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Where: Loca Luna - 550 Amsterdam Ave NE C, Atlanta, GA 30306
Who: All staff members
What: Relax with tapas, non-alcoholic beverages, and fun with your colleagues
See you there!
Ugly Sweater Day and Dance
When: Tuesday, December 19th
What: The Price Connections team is hosting our first Ugly Holiday Sweater Day & Dance. The dance will be held immediately following dismissal, from 4:30pm-6:30pm, in the cafeteria. The Ugly Holiday Sweater Dance is a competition among students and staff. There will be prizes and giveaways throughout the day and at the dance.
To Do List
- Just another reminder: At the end of this semester we will need to load final grades into IC. We have a few weeks, but make sure you are keeping up with inputting grades so that we can easily create report cards.
- Log any absences in ADP BY COB WEDNESDAY 12/6 - this was not available at the beginning of the year, so you will need to go back and log any absences you have not marked in ADP. The first 4 people who respond and tell me you have completed this task will win a prize.
- Continue to input assessments in Mastery Connect. Remember that "assessments" does not only refer to "tests." Make sure you are contacting parents of students who are in danger of failing.
