JUST A REMINDER FROM LAST WEEK...
- DISCIPLINE - If a student is written up (major) in Educator's Handbook, there must be documentation in Educator's Handbook that a parent contact and/or a bounce has been made FIRST (Minor). REMEMBER to save your BIGGEST consequence (write up) as a last resort. (parent phone calls, bounce, mentor intervention, seating change, admin conference)
- NON-NEGOTIABLES - (teach on your feet unless you are conducting small group instruction, cell phones away while students are in your care, while on duty and/or during professional meetings, Praise in public - reprimand in private, SHMS is a no yell zone, students should be supervised at ALL times, the Friday Review and all emails will be read in a timely manner)
