ProEthica - Teachers
Your first module is due BEFORE next Monday. I have included the remaining due dates at the bottom of the newsletter. As a reminder, this is only for teachers at this time.
Counselor's Corner
As you settle in with your kids, please know we can rearrange or adjust schedules if needed. Communicate with me any concerns.
Open House Expectations
As we prepare for OH next week, I have included some pertinent information below. Please be sure to review before next Tuesday.
Attire: Please wear your new staff polo with professional attire.
Arrival: We begin at 5:30 and everyone will need to be on campus no later than 5:10. ALL teachers will be required to be here from start to finish. When your grade level is not meeting, that would be a great time to complete your ProEthica Modules.
Dismissal: Everyone will need to stay until dismissed by an administrator.
Information: Please have information readily available for parents. I would encourage you to have a presentation on a continuous loop, or a QR Code for them to be able to access information. Whatever the format, please make that sure your parents all have equal access.
As this is a come and go event, parents will be in and out of our rooms throughout the evening. Please remember that this is a great opportunity to make a strong first impression while establishing a positive connection with parents.
Rocco's Corner
We are all doing a great job. I want to praise all teachers and staff for working so hard at building strong relationships with our students.
Please continue to focus on this one goal beyond all others for the rest of the year.
Our success is determined more by our relational capacity with our students than any other factor. As Dr. Saenz put it, "you are the most important intervention." Because of who we are and how good we are at this job, the interventions I enact for students will be far fewer this year.
Indeed "the time is now," this is our year to be distinguished by all measures.
