Nuts and Bolts
I will be emailing out the Advanced Ed. schedule for April 1-2.
I have asked that ALL teachers have the opportunity for interviewing. The advanced ed. leadership team will present their standards on the evening of March 31st and will be answering questions of the panel at that time. The rest of you will be asked to meet with members of the panel during your prep on April 1. At the same time there will be other members of the evaluation team observing in the classrooms. I would like all teams to present their power points this friday during the staff meeting. Please send me the ppt no later than Thursday so I can set up the computer.
The presentation for each standard should not take longer than 3-5 minutes. This is just a time to discuss the findings and establish how we will use this information in our goals.
We will have a staff meeting after school on April 2 to go over the results with the panel.
Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration will take place this week on Thursday and Friday.
We will be using the Library to hold the parents and conduct registration. The Kindergarten Staff will be testing students in the Title room.
There will be no library sessions during these two days.
