The Bailey Times
September 11, 2017
Teachers and Staff,
I appreciate that you came in early, parked out in the "yard", were welcoming at your doors and just really showed BSE hospitality! I know that you were tired, it was Friday and it had been a long four day week!
We have a coffee chat tomorrow on Eureka Math presented by our fourth grade Math teachers that have been using this resource for a couple of years. I hope that you will be able to come and support them as they show you how they have navigated this math resource. Please sign up in MLP to get your points!
Please take note below about your TNCompass account and what you need to be doing!
Thursday evening is Parent/Teacher conferences from 4:00 - 7:00. Our wonderful PTA will have food set up for you in the lounge starting at around 3:30. We are having Lenny's with sides, desserts, and drinks!
Friday is DLD day and the schedule is below. If you have questions, please come and see me. Teaching assistants will report to BSE unless you hear differently from me!
If you haven’t already done so, please take the Technology survey. The survey will be used to plan instructional lessons this year.
Here's the link to the form "2017-2018 Technology Survey (Copy)"
Thank you again for being you!
Cindy

Our fall District Learning Day will take place on Friday, September 15, 2017 (8:30-3:30). A variety of professional learning sessions have been planned to support our teachers and schools. Educators not included in the sessions listed in the DLD Catalog will report to their base school to meet in PLCs. Please note, participants will need to bring a fully charged technology device to each session they attend. Logistics and details are included in the attached DLD Catalog. We look forward to a productive day of collaboration and professional learning. Thanks for all you do to grow your practice and impact our students!

TNCompass - Evaluations for this year
TNCompass/Evaluation Administrator
S. Johnson -s1johnson@colliervilleschools.org)
Audience: Teachers, Administrators, District Staff (Certified)
To ensure that TNCompass( https://tdoe.tncompass.org/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f) holds the most accurate contact information, all school, and certified district staff should review their accounts and update their username/email address to reflect their official district email address. This is especially important for educators coming to Collierville from other Tennessee districts. To do this, select “Account Information” from the home page upon login and click the “Change Username/Email” link under account settings. Please note that this change must be made in the account information section and cannot be made in the “Educator Profile.” Please do NOT be concerned if your school/district assignment within TNCompass is incorrect, as we are in the process of updating all school rosters. At this time, you simply need to review and update your account information as instructed above. With TNCompass questions relating specifically to Collierville Schools, please contact Sheryl Johnson (s1johnson@colliervilleschools.org). Anyone with technical questions should reach out to support@tncompass.org.
