Conferences for 2016-2017
Team Leaders identified the conference dates for the 2016-2017 school year. Those dates are: November 3, 7 and 9, 2016, and February 28, March 1 and 6, 2017.
Building Equity Team
Our Building Equity Team members have been working together with our district Equity Teachers and Equity Specialists to understand how we can influence practices to insure equitable student achievement. Our team has attended Equity Team trainings the past two years and have thoughtfully planned how to share this work within our buidling. On the February 1, 2016, professional development day, four Equity Team members shared their racial autobiographies and licensed staff members had the opportunity to check in and share with colleagues. At the May 4, 2016, staff meeting, more members of the Equity Team will share and members will also seek feedback on specific action items moving forward. Thank you.
Safety Drills
I will be conducting some safety drills in the upcoming weeks. I will work around the testing schedule to find time for a school wide severe weather drill, a couple evacuation (fire) drills, and some unannounced lock down drills. If you have questions or needs about these drills, please let me know. Thank you.
