Unit Leaders Meeting Tuesday
I will meet with unit leaders Tuesday. This is to include just the one person representing your team. We will also need a rep from related areas, sped, and intervention.
We will meet in the conference room at 3:15.
Draft of Master Schedule
Back in the fall we expressed a goal to have the master schedule for the upcoming year complete and shared before the end of the current school year.
The schedule below is a draft. Read 2 Succeed requires that all schools have 90 minutes of uninterrupted time for ELA with a separate 30 minute block for RtI. This was the driving force regarding this draft.
Please review. Grade level chairs please be prepared to give us feedback at our meeting Tuesday.
