Faculty Meeting
August 22, 2018 Opening Day Agenda
Why this new format?!?
In an effort to keep everyone informed of what occurs at our monthly faculty meeting, I have decided to send agenda and self-paced items prior to the start of our meeting. I am hoping this will help keep things organized as well as share information with those who may not be able to attend. I'd love your feedback and thoughts on this as we move forward. I will post this agenda, along with any additional attachments on Google Classroom. All items needed can be accessed through Google Classroom or your KCS Staff folder on Google Drive. We will go over all of this on our first day!

Grading Practices
The following grading practices document was produced by our very own, Ellen Tarabara. We appreciate all of the hard work and effort she has put into this document as it provides teachers with a more comprehensive picture of the process. Please read through this document over the next few weeks, we will have a question/answer period at our first faculty meeting. Grading practices should be on your agenda for Open House (grades 3-8).
