Collaboration
Tomorrow morning during collaboration we will be meeting in the library as a group. I would like to cover some NWEA data with the group and also talk about the building project.
Building Furniture
Here are some updated items regarding our building furniture
- We received three new teacher chairs from KI that are in room 316 along with all of the other items. These can come with arms on them if desired.
- Everything in room 316 is now labeled with manufacture and product.
- Brian and I met with Smith System earlier this week to discuss their product line. I am asking for samples of student chairs, a trapezoid shape student desk (some staff had asked about this), and a teacher lectern that has some storage in it. Once these items are in Smith System will come and discuss their items with staff.
- Sharp Schools emailed to say our remaining VS samples will be here shortly. We have scheduled February 21st at 3:00 in the library for VS to come and discuss their furniture and give you a chance to ask any questions.
Obviously we get one shot at getting the right furniture for our building and for our students. Please make sure you continue to give me your feedback on the items we have and ideas you have for furniture.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Hopefully your team leader shared with you that parent teacher conferences are on January 31st from 4:30-6:30. Office staff will provide dinner that afternoon.
We will be handing out progress reports that evening to parents that come. Please talk with your team about inviting parents you wish to speak with to help their students be more successful.
Hallway Supervision
Continue to be visible in the hallways during passing periods. Encourage students to get to class and correct any misbehavior you may witness. More importantly be there to talk with students and form relationships.
Progress Report Grades
Progress report grades are to be finalized on before you leave the building on Monday. These will be printed off Tuesday morning and handed out at the parent teacher conferences.
If you're out, turn it out
Keep that saying in mind with your energy consumption. If you are out of your room, turn the lights off. Before you leave each evening take a look around and turn off power strips, TVs, monitors, etc...
