Northgate Staff Notes
Week of 3/27-3/30
Update on Jon's Health
Annoucements
WEDNESDAY MEETING- This Wednesday will be collaboration. Please let your designated administrator know where you will be meeting.
LINK LEADERS & MENTORS- At the start of 4th Quarter (Monday, 4/10) we are making an adjustment to the Link Leaders and Mentors training schedules to lessen their time out of SSR. Starting on 4/10, Link Leaders and Mentors will remain in your classes for SSR like every other student. We will then provide a list of dates where they will be released from SSR for training. This week we will be talking with teachers who have 2nd period prep, so that they are reassigned to a new SSR class during 4th quarter. The rationale behind this change is to better support our SSR program, and to decrease the amount of time the Link Leaders and Mentors are out of your classrooms.
SSR- Thank you for helping us maintain high expectations during SSR! If some of your students have regressed with their reading, please use the start of the new quarter to remind them that the guidelines during SSR are to be silent, to sustain for 25, and to read anything but textbooks. Also, Freshman English teachers should be taking their students to the Library THIS WEEK to get their Freshman Reading Club book for the remainder of the year.
STRATEGIC SUPPORT- On Monday, April 24 we will be having our last changeover of the year for Strategic Support. Please use this opportunity to update seating charts, review expectations, build new relationships, and set the tone for a strong finish. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about any of our interventions during Strategic Support (Academic Prep, Tutorial, or Link Crew), please contact Ben.
HEALTH SURVEY- We had 1,072 students complete the Northgate Health Survey last week. Thank you so much for your support as we gathered this critical information from/about our students. We will be sharing results and more information with you as soon as possible.
BELL SCHEDULE CHANGE- Reminder Thursday March 30th is a minimum day and no school Friday March 31st.
