BLT Meeting Wednesday, March 4th.
We will have a BLT meeting this Wednesday, March 4th, during 9th and 10th period. During the meeting, we will continue our discussion about our current structures and examine possible changes for next year to best help the four types of students we identified at the previous meeting. We will focus on universal behavioral expectations, and other steps needed to help our Ss and our entire staff.
We will need help with substitutes during 9th and 10th periods. I will email individual staff to ask for help. We appreciate your flexibility to help our BLT move forward with meaningful work.
9th period we need subs for Scott, Courtney, Kim, and Sam.
10th period we need subs for Courtney, Kim, and Sam.
