Titan Times

SHE SAID YES!
The Titan Way - Respectful Language, Attitude and Actions
We have a couple of big picture items for the week. We have visits from Dr. Janney, Former Charger, Donnie Edwards, and some Dr. Alvarez who will assist with some walkthroughs. Let's get into the season and think about being generous to others (opportunities below). Let's get to some main points for the week.
A. FAC and Common Syllabus. The next FAC meeting will take place on December 11th. There are several big item pictures that I want to focus on as we create the itinerary. It is critical for our instructional practices that we continue our conversations about the common syllabus and PLCs. I will be stepping up to help facilitate these conversations next semester. I will be providing some templates and some research about the common syllabus. Please be prepared to discuss this key equity strategy for not only our WASC visit, but for our targeted student populations as well.
B. Winter Party. We are booked at the Chula Vista Golf Course on December 20 from 5:30 to 9:30. The votes were largely in favor of $20 for food, prizes and music. We will have a serving of various pasta, chicken and sides. If you are a golfer, there will be a special for you. $10 will get you a cart and nine holes starting at 2:00 PM (Remember: It will be a minimum day). There could be an issue with the band which might lead us to a DJ. Either way, please fill out this LINK to RSVP. We absolutely need a final count by December 13.
C.Dr. Janney Listening Tour. Please pass by the Teacher's Lounge during your prep to visit with Dr. Janney. If you require coverage during your class time for 10-15 minutes, let us know. Otherwise, she will also be available at lunch. You can also visit her as a group during lunch. She will have to leave at 2:00 that day. Your voice matters to her, so take the time to express what you want at EHS!
D. Best Defense Foundation. Former Charger and Chula Vista High School graduate, Donnie Edwards, will be bringing his foundation to our theater this Tuesday. He will provide a great lesson plan on WWII through veterans who experienced it. Due to space, we are offering it to US History for Per. 5. However, please come by at lunch to meet Donnie Edwards and 10-15 WWII Veterans.
E. Titan Boot Camp. We will be focusing on SEL strategies when we come back from the break. We will have more information at our upcoming FAC meeting. We just ask that you participate as I give the State of the School Address and we focus on what we learned from our student survey. We will try to do a different SEL Strategy every period on a Full Menu during the first week of the new semester. We just ask that you follow along and help facilitate. You will receive all of the material/training at a faculty meeting.
Let's get to it Titans! Have a great week.
In Service,
