Dealey Weekly Update
Week of September 18th
Principal News and Notes
This week Mrs. Henderson and I will be wrapping up our goal setting conferences with all staff members. We've really enjoyed the conversations we have had so far about your instructional focus and how we can support you in achieving your goals.
SLOs and PD plans are being submitted each day. We will do our best to have those approved within 24 hours of your submission if no edits are needed. Remember our campus deadline to have 100% submitted is Friday, September 29th. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if we are close to the goal by this Friday.
Speaking of 100% goal, please submit your PTA dues to Ms. Medrano or pay online to support our amazing PTA. After all they do to support us and our school, it's the least we can do to say thank you.
Please submit your nominations for Teacher of the Year to Ms. Medrano by 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. The top 3 teachers for the Montessori and International Academy will be on the ballot for the official vote on Tuesday, the 19th. Camp Grade Teachers - please vote before you leave!
Finally, don't forget we will have our September staff meeting in the library after school on Tuesday.
Have a great week!
