Principal Notes
Team,
We are hosting our first School Site Council Meeting of the year this Wednesday. I am open to adding your ideas to proposals around that meeting. If you have questions around the process or are interested in participating in the process please let us know.
Free Online courses using KQED online resources. Build skills and gain confidence in analyzing, making, and teaching with media-- across all subject areas and grade levels. Each course offers hands-on projects for you to learn how to make media and create instructional resources. Get ready to bring civic media literacy to your practice, CLICK HERE.
One-fourth of the classes that we offer in Math and English are co-taught, although we don't have tons of experience or training in co-teaching. Learning what works and what doesn’t often must come with experience. Take a look at this article around outlining the different models of Co-teaching.

Work Orders
Team,
If you need any type of maintenance outside of work on the technology in the classroom. Please send an email to Leslie who will enter a work order. This is an important in justifying our maintenance needs to the district and to the county. It is a solid way to keep track of what gets done and when.
Tutoring
Attendance
Air Conditioning
One of the largest nonsalaried expenses in Alpine is utilities. That money comes from the district's general fund and affects our bottom line. Eventually your bottom line, as money that could be forwarded to your classroom or even a raise during budget negotiations.
So remember:
- Turn your thermostat to 72 during the day.
- Turn the AC off when you leave
The AC could be shut down after hours if our bill continues to rise. Please do your part to use electricity wisely.
