CKE Monday Notes
"If It's to Be, It's Up to Me!"
TKES Electronic Platform
Certified Staff - Please logon to the platform asap and complete the following steps:
- Orientation
- Self-Assessment
- Goal Setting - Please enter the following:
1. All teachers at Coker will be placed in a Professional Learning Community (PLC). These PLCs are vertically aligned and will meet on a monthly basis. The measure for this goal will be collected through meeting sign-in sheets and classroom observations on the successful implementation of PLC instructional strategies.
2. At Coker we will work to increase student gains in achievement and raise Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs). Student data will be analyzed to monitor student growth throughout the school year.
Once this has been completed and we enter your pre-evaluation conference, you can go back in and sign-off.
Boy Scouts Organizationl Meeting
Coming up this Thursday (9/22) at 6:30, some representatives from Boy Scouts will be here to conduct an organizational meeting with any boys interested in joining. The meeting will be held in the Cafe and parents should drive around the back of the school and enter.
TN vs. GA Day - Next Friday (9/30)
Prior to the big game next Saturday, we will wear our college apparel on Friday instead of our One Tribe green, black, and white. If you are neither a fan of TN or GA, you may wear your favorite college sports team attire. We will try and get around to taking some pix on the 30th but if you have lots of kids dressed in orange or red please take a picture and send it to me via e-mail.
