The Titan Way - Respectful Language, Attitude and Actions
That was certainly an eventful week. I want to continuously praise us for our work during the lockdown. It's difficult to know how we will react in the event of a real lockdown, but you showed no hesitation to keep our students safe. You are an amazing staff. I have done my best to communicate with the parents and guardians about this event. I emailed you a copy of the letter I sent out. The students and parents asked that communication and updates get out faster. To that extent, we will focus on using the twitter app for staff and community and Remind 101 for school only dialogue. You can follow the emergency twitter app at EHS Contact@EHS_Update. Thank you again for being amazing. Let's spring to the break.
We have a PTSA meeting and Coffee with the Principal this week. Let me know if there are any pressing issues that you would like for me to cover or share with our community?
I got a sneak peek of the Tunnel. What an amazing experience. Great work Mr. Brickley and the awesome Peer Mediators!
Here are some main points for the week.
A. SLT Meeting. The SLT and the Department Chairs are meeting this Monday to discuss Data Analysis, Common Syllabus Update, WASC Planning, Master Schedule and Titan Showcase. You will get updates at the next FAC, PLC and Faculty meetings.
B. Titan Showcase. Please plan accordingly. Mr. Banuelos will provide updates on expectations. Please plan with your PLC where you would like to highlight your group.
C. FAC. Make sure you contact your FAC with input. Again, to keep our focus on instruction, please use the Classroom Link below for facility concerns. We will discuss budget and the master calendar this Wednesday.
D. WASC Update. We shift our attention to WASC this March. A huge component of our WASC will be around our evaluation of school goals and progress. Please be involved in the dialogue as we implement our strategies.
E. Next SSA Training. Our trainer had to postpone the training to March. We are still looking for about 20 fabulous freshmen and 20 super sophomore to participate in the next Safe School Ambassador training on March 11-12. We need a well-rounded group of students. Please feel free to give us your suggestions (email Mark Brickley). Please submit those names as soon as possible. We are also looking for about 4-5 staff members interested in the two day training. If you are interested, please let Mr. Brickely know as well.
F. PD Opportunities.There are still opportunities to attend PDs. Let me and Karina know if you are interested in these great opportunities.
Taproot Series 1: Self-Awareness and Self-Management

G. Construction Completed! The drop-off zone is open for business. Expect delays this week as the community adjusts.
H. Budget. Please let me know if there are pressing budget issues for your PLCs. We need to oder any remaining items for the rest of the year by March 15th. Additionally, don't forget about pullouts. There is still time.
Have a great week Titans!
