Planners and Binders
The AVID expectation for a Demonstration School is all students carry their planner and binder all the time. Teachers should refer to the entries in the planner and help students to use this tool to be prepared. Students should highlight important dates, tests, due dates, etc. At the end of the week, students can check off completed assignments. Binders need constant attention too. Dividers must be organized in the order of the classes. Weekly reminders to clean/straighten up the binder will help students achieve our goals.
Lock Down Drill
Tomorrow, Friday, August 30th at 10:40 we will conduct our first Lockdown drill. From now on the Lockdowns will be prompted by a recording of Mr. Symank's voice. He repeats, "Please secure your classrooms" three times.
Teachers must go to their doors. They then check the hallways to see if anyone immediately needs to come in. Then close the door, confirm it is locked and cover the door's window.
Within the class you must move all students as far away from the door and windows as possible. Be sure to turn off your projector to make the room dark. Maintain absolute silence and wait for staff to come and check in on you. When staff comes in, unlocks the door and says "all clear, stay here," you can resume teaching but still must keep all students within your room. If you have any students missing from your room that is when you should let us know who is missing. The end of the Lockdown will be announced on the PA system.
