PLC Focus
Items for Discussion in your PLC. Please provide your feedback on these topics to administration after your grade level PLC.
- It has been brought to our attention that parents would like students to be recognized for their accomplishments here at IHES. What are your grade level thoughts on this topic? What would this recognition look like? How often would we recognize students? What would we recognize students for? What would these incentives look like-certificates, pens, charms, etc.?
- There is a new typing program in the computer lab. It is a program the district has had for years but had never been installed at IHES. Students log in using the last five digits of their student ID as username and password. How might your grade level implement using a program such as this in the computer lab? How would this support common core standards at your grade level? What information does your grade level need in order to feel ready to use this software? Is your grade level interested in using this software?

Shout Outs
Miss Gunter Rocks the Mac!
I'd like to give a shout out to Ms. Gunter for sharing her newly acquired Mac knowledge. She sought me out to share something new she learned, this really meant a lot to me! I am excited about these opportunities to learn from each other within our community.
Mrs. Sipes Watches All Around!
Thank you, Ms. Sipes for going above and beyond to make sure students are taken care of on and off campus. She brings concerns she has about bus incidents to the attention of others and makes sure all students feel safe while they are at school, but also on the way to and from school!
