PTA Kickoff Event
Our first major PTA event will be on Friday, August 25th. They are planning to have food trucks, bounce houses (in the gym) and a movie. The doors will open around 5:00 and families will just hang out in the gym or out back while eating. If everyone could please meet me in the cafe in front of the stage at 6:30, I would like to introduce all classroom & co-curr teachers . You are welcome to stay for the movie if you would like to or head on out.
Coaching Schedule
We will have LOTS of support each month from our district's Instructional Coaches. When they are here, you all may be meeting with them during your conference period or extra planning time, for a model lesson and/or observation or for PD after school. One thing I do want everyone to know - these ladies are here to help you, not evaluate you. :) To keep you up to date here is their schedule for August & September:

SVES Handbook
Our staff handbook has a new look. I have updated and uploaded the document to our SVES Staff Shared Folder. Just use this easy "LINK" page for easy access to everything. You will notice that several items have been highlighted - some due to updates and some I want you to review. It is your responsibility to review the handbook then turn in the signature page to the front office no later than Labor Day weekend.

Eduphoria Profile
As we begin the 2017-2018 school year we need to make sure our data in Eduphoria is accurate. The next time you login to Eduphoria you should be prompted to update your profile. Only select the campuses from which you receive an evaluation. This is important for evaluations and student data retrieval.
