Field Trip for College or Career Ready Seniors
On Tuesday, November 22nd, College or Career Ready seniors will be called to board the bus after announcements for a field trip to the movies. These seniors will return sometime during 3rd block.
Peer Observations--Coming Soon!
The purpose of Peer Observation is for teachers to receive formative feedback from a peer to help improve their practice. The Peer Observation is only shared between the teacher/peer and is an opportunity for teachers to engage in collegial conversations concerning pedagogical practice. If you are a teacher in your summative year, your Peer Observer should contact you and complete an observation sometime before Christmas break. If you are unsure whether or not you are in your summative year, see your principal to ask.
November/December
As mentioned at the beginning of the school year, our monthly Faculty and PLC meetings will not be held during the months of November and December. We will have Department meetings during these months, on the 2nd Wednesday. The dates for those meetings are 11/16 and 12/14 (not the 3rd Wednesday, schedule change due to Christmas break).
Each teacher will bring graded On Demand student writing samples to their December department meeting to discuss, so remember to practice with a prompt in at least 1 class of your choice sometime between now and the December meeting.
