Super Central
Updates & Info for Super Heroes...That's You!
Construction Update!
Furniture is set to arrive on Monday! It will be so exciting to see the spaces a little more "defined" with furniture.
We are on hold with the move until we can have the Fire Marshal issue a Certificate of Occupancy for our new addition. I just spoke with Balco and the construction crew and they are testing the large fire door at the entrance to the new space. If all goes well, we will be ready for our inspection!
LCISD Symposium Registration Opens MONDAY!
For back-to-school hours, you need a total of 18 DISTRICT-LEVEL hours:
- 6 hours will come from Safe Schools (Complete online, anytime)
- 6 hours at Frenship Innovation Summit (Aug. 12)
- 6 hours of your choice at LCISD Symposium (Aug. 15-16)
Campus professional development sessions do not count towards the 18 hour total.
Summer Professional Development & Work Days
You must also document two days of work on campus before August 8 - these dates will substitute for the Teacher Work Days on August 19 and January 16. You must have 16 hours documented to count for the two days. You do not have to work two 8-hour days, you can come in and work for an hour or two at a time, whatever fits your schedule!
Calling all paraprofessionals - we have work available in the office for those of you who need your 16 hours!
Conscious Discipline
For those of you who were unable to attend or who had to miss part of the training, we have a plan for you! Amanda Dunn has worked to flip the information, creating Google forms with embedded video links and other resources.
If you missed the entire training, you will need to complete the online training components, totaling 9 hours. You will also need to attend one make-up meeting on campus for the final 3 hours of credit. The conversations and application of what we learned is some of the most powerful part of the training. Because we believe that the face-to-face discussion and activities are so important, it is required that you participate in this portion of the training.
If you missed part of the training, you will need to attend a make-up meeting on campus for 3 hours towards the time you missed. For example, if you missed the second day and need to make-up the entire 6 hours, you will complete online modules totaling 3 hours and attend a 3-hour meeting on campus. If you missed 3 hours of training, you will need to attend a make-up meeting on campus to receive credit.
There will be a required 3-hour session during a campus professional development day in August for those staff members who:
- Did not attend the full two-day training this summer and did not make-up the hours at a face-to-face meeting
- Were required to attend other professional development for a minimum of 12 hours and did not attend a face-to-face meeting this summer
If you did not attend the training or need to make-up parts that were missed, please send me an email indicating your need. For example, you might say "I missed the Friday afternoon portion". Another example would be, "I had to leave at noon on Thursday." This will help me to get the right modules sent to you for completion. If you were not able to attend any training, an email with that information will also be beneficial so that I can send all of the links and information to you.
I apologize for any confusion - I know that is a lot of information in a pretty rambling way! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me! (ccross@lcisd.net)
