Titan Staff News
Week of November 9
Titans,
Thank you for your flexibility today as we celebrated our Veteran's. When we ended last school year, we knew that there would be challenges in our path as we continued to grow in size. In the past two weeks we have overcome those challenges by adjusting our Pep Rally and Veteran's Day schedules. While these types of activities do not happen often, they are an integral part of our culture here at Tidwell.
It is because of you, our culture thrives even in the midst of change.
Have great weekend,
Kim

End of 2nd Grading Period
Important Information
- Our next Parent Conference night will be Monday, Nov 16th 4:00-7:00pm. We will serve a light dinner this evening. Please note that these conference nights along with meeting with a minimum of 20 parents serves as your exchange time for the October 12 Student/Staff Holiday.
- We will be hosting our annual Quality Defined on Tuesday, Dec 1st. We will not be conducting Instructional Rounds during this event.
- Campus Technology is now open each morning before school to better serve our students. Before you send students to the tech room for tablet issues, please have them restart their tablet to ensure there is truly a problem.
- A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our Annual Veteran's Day program a success. We had many, many words of appreciation from our community. I know having two assemblies is a new experience, but thank you for your flexibility in making it a success.
- There are no morning PLCs next week due to it being the final week of the grading period. Please utilize your time to meet with students who may need additional tutoring and/or retesting.
- As we approach the end of the 2nd grading period, I ask you to reflect upon your classroom culture....do you create an environment where failure is not an option? Are students held firmly to the belief that they can succeed but may need safety nets?
- 2nd Six Weeks Grades are due for final submission on Monday, Nov 16th at 8:00am sharp.
- The time is coming for TechnoExpo submissions. Be thinking now of how we can highlight the accomplishments of our students.

Your attendance as a staff member is very important. To date, we have had more Personal Leave taken than Personal or Family Illness. While I fully support you in your family needs, there is no better person to be in the classroom other than you.
