CHS Weekly Running Updates 2023-24
Week 7 - 10/16
Principal Message
We have a great staff that works hard to support our students in an ever-increasingly difficult job that has ever-increasing demands on our times. Thank you for all the constructive feedback around narrowing, reducing and simplifying the asks as much as possible so we have the time needed for the implementation of CM to support our students. All the different initiatives have been getting in the way of that and causing stress. Thank is on me. It is on me to do a better job to make that happen and ensure time so we can work together to reach our common goal of increasing outcomes for our students so they are college and career-ready. To accomplish this the Tier 1 team will be reviewing the many suggestions that have come out of the many conversations with you/DO, etc, including:
Provide staff a one-page checklist of forms or tasks you want to be completed with due dates and links.
Cancel Next week's Wednesday's Equity PD (10/18) and use it for more Job-like PLC time so you can get into the work with your colleagues.
Job Alike & Dept PLCs work where is best for PLC in the building.
We work to better protect Wednesday's PLC time.
Reduce STAR Testing
More access to talk with me
EA/Student Service Dept Meeting time
See CHS PLCs/PD for 22-23 and beyond that incorporate your constructive feedback. Please share any thoughts with a Tier 1 member with the goal we can review as a staff on Wednesday (10/18).
