Culture Goals
Therefore, here is my culture goal:
I will cut the "empowerment" gap in half or better (from a score of -19 to a score of -9) so that staff at Lakeview feels closer to the same empowerment level as the whole district.
In order to do this, I will take these steps as part 1 of my action plan:
• Round will all Lakeview staff by March 13th using 5 questions that will take no more than 10 minutes per person. I may come to you before school, during prep time, or after school. The questions will ask about providing input on decisions, what decisions seem unclear, if you have the resources you need to do your job, and who has been especially helpful to you.
• When I am finished rounding, I will analyze the answers and publish the trends that I have gathered from the rounding process and what next steps can be taken together.

Structural Items
School Supply Lists for 2020-2021. Because I want you to have input on matters that impact your work, as we plan for our second year of using a common school supply list for all four elementary schools, I need to know if there are things on your list that need tweaking. The only comment I've heard this year is that 4th grade requests 5 folders instead of 4. If you have other requests like this, please discuss with your team and email me by January 31. If it doesn't make it into the final published list, we can purchase from building funds if it is truly a need.
Amplify Supplies - Remember that in each unit, there are "Teacher Supplied" consumable items (i.e., tape, celery). As we fine tune our Amplify ordering, check with in the office for non-perishables such as tape. If it is a time-sensitive perishable item such as celery, Kelly Cushion will order if you are specific with quantities and provide at least 3-days lead time ("I will need a 5-lb bag of flour on Thursday, Jan 30"). Remember: no teacher reimbursements at Lakeview, please.
