Summer schedule
Principals must follow their work schedule. If he/she wants to have June 26thoff, he/she can request a personal leave day.
Lights, Camera, Action
We recently lost power in a few of our campuses and of course we all learn through experiences. I highly encourage you to purchase a few lanterns for darker areas such as classrooms, hallways, and bathrooms for just such emergencies. You all have different need and know your emergency plans in case the lights are absent...this is just a suggestions.
What does good instruction look like?
Sometimes, you find yourself in a moment at a school event, or just in an ordinary day in a classroom either absolutely speechless due to sheer pride or just full of great excitement. Please follow the link below to a Google doc. On the document, write your school name and a brief description below of that moment for you at your current school.
Failures
Please make reviewing the grading reports a part of your routine. Within the district intranet page, you will have a grading and grouping plan. This must be followed which includes a campus allowing for grade recovery.
Expectations
- Educators show know who special populations are, they should know readily accommodations and plans in place and when applicable have evidence of implementation.
- Principal Flex Time: Principal school course are 7:30-4:00. Should you need to be off campus anytime for an extended period for any reason, please let me know. I know that many of you have late evening, however, you do not have the flexibility to deduct hours spent beyond 4:00 from other days.
- No purchases, reservations, etc. in regards to GISD staff travel should be made without complete approval/s on the Travel Request For
- All out of state travel for campus staff must be approved by any departments associated with the trip such as Fine Arts or CTE, Area Director and Dr. Wells
- When staff are taking students on field trips, competitions, clinics, etc. and using GISD funds to pay for staff travel, a Field Trip Request Form and a Travel Request Form must be completed. Remember both forms are “requests” and must be completed before spending or committing to spend funds.
