Evacuation Drill
Our yearly evacuation drill will be held this Thursday at 10:00. It's about a mile walk to the Harper Woods Library, so please remember to dress comfortably.
Our evacuation drill procedures are mostly unchanged from previous years. Please take a look at the Evacuation Drill document linked below to become aware of the details for this Thursday. We will briefly discuss procedures during Tuesday's Staff Meeting, bring any questions or concerns you may have.

Professional Goal Setting
It's that time of the year again. I would like for all teachers to begin thinking about their professional goals for the year. I'd like for teachers to use the Goal Setting Form linked below to begin recording their thoughts about their professional goals.
Similar to last year, I will be meeting with each teacher during their planning time to establish a professional goal for the year. All teachers are required to set one instructional goal from (Domain 1 or 3) from the Danielson Rubric. All probationary teachers are required to set one additional goal from Domain 2 from the Danielson Rubric as well.
Lastly, I'm going to have all tenured and probationary teachers set one goal that will focus on how they will sharpen the saw this year to sustain the grind of a school year.
You may access the Danielson Framework Rubric by clicking here.
Let's have great week team!

Class Newsletters
Please share your weekly newsletters with me by "Ccing" me when they are emailed out to families. This allows for me to stay connected with all of the exciting things happening inside of your classrooms.

Our GES3 meeting dates and deadlines have been established by the team. You can access that information below. It will also be made available on our Poupard Schoology page.
GES3 Dates and Information Page
Walkie Talkie
All Classroom Teachers should have received a Walkie Talkie. Please take it with you when you take your students outside for an extra recess. The office staff will use it to locate individual students, typically for early dismissal.Emergency Information
Please be sure to review all of the emergency information for fire drills and tornado drills inside of your classrooms. We will be doing a sweep to make sure your emergency bags are stocked with everything that necessary and include updated rosters as they become available.
Behavior Referrals
Behavior Referrals must be completed using the Online Behavior Form. Staff must complete the behavior form anytime a student is sent down to the office for a major office referral. Homeroom Teachers and Special Area Teachers are responsible for contacting the family to notify them of any incidents that occurred inside of the classroom. Please call home over an email whenever possible. Personally, I'd recommend sharing anything over 3-4 sentences over a phone call as well.
