STAAR Reflections
Thank you, counselors, for your hard work, also.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions for ways we can improve.
Monday's Staff Development Day
Core content and/or tested subject area teachers are to work together to plan your interventions for this last push towards the next STAAR assessments. Continue your mini-assessments and data analysis so that you can continue looping back during Enrichment period and in after school tutorials. Science and Social Studies teachers, please finish your plan for your STAAR boot camp and submit that to Dr. Holmgreen.
Non-core teachers please meet with the core subject teachers to determine how you can assist them during start ups and such. Please write up an explanation of how you will be assisting them and turn that in to Dr. Holmgreen.
All departments must submit an agenda and sign-in sheet at the end of the day.
Student Behaviors
Remember the following:
•DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS to be on their cell phones unless you have given them a specific task that is related to the day's instruction. Many students are walking around campus with their ear buds dangling from the neck of their hoodie.
•Run a quick dress code check during Advisory or first period.
•Keep students in the classroom as much as possible. We have noticed more students in the halls than usual.
Fridays
Your admin team is working on some activities for the time between their lunch and return to class, as well as incentives.
Don't forget our attendance and exemption incentive!
