Happy 2017!
All teachers have duty this week:
Please be sure to fan out both inside and outside the building so that we can monitor all areas.
Duty is not optional. Thank you for your assistance.
Each One Reach One (or two)
We know what a difference mentoring can make---both for the student and the adult! A "Mentoring Log" will be shared with you through a shared Google file. Please fill out this form each time you visit with your student(s) and let's watch the transformation happen!
Watch for more information on this in the days ahead.
Thank you
Pre-Observation Conference
Please remember to answer the questions your sent. Remember that these are some of the talking points that may be discussed and are intended to make you feel more comfortable and less nervous! (Don't be nervous---you will be talking about what you know best, which is YOU and your students).
Important Dates to Remember
Grade 7 Writing is set for Wednesday, January 18; Grade 7 and Grade 8 Reading for Thursday, January 19.
Grade 7 and Grade 8 Math is set for Tuesday, January 24; Grade 8 Science for Wednesday, January 25, and Grade 8 Social Studies for Thursday, January 26.
These will be handled just as if they are the real STAAR tests. Students will be assigned to rooms, the tests will be timed and so forth. We will provide more information as we get closer to these dates.
Thank you to those teachers who rescheduled their appraisals due to the conflict in the calendar. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
