Nuts & Bolts
- Grades must be posted by 8:00 am on November 5th. Make sure parents have been contacted before grades are posted.
- Make sure you are at your door greeting students during passing periods. Your presence helps keep our hallways safe and orderly.
- Student IDs - Additional measures will be added this week to begin the 3rd six weeks. An email will be sent out for you to communicate with students.
- Do not allow students to leave your classroom to go to the restroom, library, etc. unless they are wearing an ID (temporary or school issued).
- Dress Code - Half-shirts seem to be coming back! No half-shirts!
- College Door Competition - ONE WEEK LEFT! November 6th is right around the corner! Dr. Sandra will be judging the doors.
- 45 Minute Evaluations - If you are ready to get it done, email your appraiser with a date. We will begin sending two-week windows for you to schedule. Please remember a pre-conference form/meeting will need to be completed before the evaluation can be conducted.
- Reminder to start thinking about your technology project that will be showcased in February. EVERY teacher is expected to submit a project. Check out Tammy's Tech Tuesday Smores for information on requirements.
