A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
Just a quick reminder that Superintendent Phelps will be visiting us on Thursday morning. It is my sincere hope that all of you will attend and hear what she has to share about her vision for the district. We have a Non-Student Day scheduled for Friday. Classified staff, we have heard from many of you who will be participating in district-sponsored training. If you have not already done so, please inform your supervisor of your plans asap. Teacher teams, if you have not already submitted your agendas to Rod, please do so asap. LSS has requested our agendas and representatives do plan to stop by and see all the great work that is going on here at Twin Peaks (and throughout the district). Please be sure to include a brief description of what you will be working on (i.e. assessments, essential standards charts, unit design, etc.) as well as meeting rooms.
I hope you are all looking forward to a large chunk of time in which to collaborate with one another. Please let us know how we can support your work.
Thanks,
Superintendent Phelps will visit us on February 1st at 8am the LRC
