Expectations for Teacher Evaluations
Please review each item.
This week the K, 1st, and 2nd grade teachers had PD time to work on SLO and we discussed progress to date. 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers will have the same PD time. The data for fall was due by 11/6 so at this time you have the data you need to set your SLO. Please continue your work on your SLO. They should all be entered into Teachscape by December 18. I already have some submissions, thank you.
Please stop by after school on any of these dates or make an appointment if you have questions.
after school: 12/4, 12/7, 12/9, 12/16

Haven/Erin's Law Reminder
When are the lessons:
December 15: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th
December 16: 3rd
How long are the lessons:
45-60 minutes. Teachers remain in the classroom during the entire presentation. (Parents asked about this at the information night.)
Where:
Most sessions will occur in the classroom but in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade two classes will be combined and meet in the Media Center. The combined classes will be for the same grade level. Ex: 3rd and 3rd NOT 3rd and 5th
Students that have been opted out will be working on an academic assignment related to their classwork. I will ask you for these but I imagine a reading assignment for upper el will work and lower el can advise me on what is best. Tentative location: Main Office Conference Room
Teachers: Please make sure all opt outs are turned into Angela.
Tornado Drill
This is a reminder that the areas under the stairwells must be free of any items. We are not allowed to store items in this area per the fire marshall and because it is an area we use for shelter.
