Happy Teacher Appreciation Week
May 6, 2020
Good Morning,
We continue to celebrate YOU (different from any other year) and all things you do for our lion cubs. We truly have the BEST staff!
I wanted to let you know that I have NOT received any guidance on what the updated 'Return to Work Plan' will be BUT as soon as I do, I will share with you. I am also assuming the plan I submitted for approval to Dr. Williams was put on HOLD knowing changes would be coming.
Just to share again...this memo was sent out on Tuesday, May 5, 2020
On Friday, May 1, Gwinnett County Public Schools released its plan to return employees to work sites. As has been shared, the district does need to close out the school year and some of that work does have to take place on-site. That said, we have received feedback from teachers and others who shared concerns about returning to the work site at this time. That feedback has led district leaders to consider adjustments to the return-to-work site plan. Staff members are reviewing possible changes that would allow the district to successfully close out the school year while being responsive to employees’ concerns. It is anticipated that a revised plan will be announced tomorrow.
We look forward to celebrating YOU on Thursday with a small token of our appreciation. Be sure to Drive-Thru between 11 and 1 for a special bag of appreciation and a boxed lunch.
Proud to Serve the BEST Staff,
Sheri, Yoland, and Laura
Report Card Procedures & Checklists
Stacey Gist is still waiting on the GCPS Report Card Procedures to be released from the county. We know there are some processes that may be different this year due to DLD and that you have some questions. Stacey will get this to you as soon as possible.
In the meantime, please hold off on clicking the POST button. If you have already posted grades, that is ok, but you may need to go back in and make some changes/additions once we receive the final county documents. At this time, you can update your grade books with grades. You can also go in and begin to add the comments and work habits that you know you need. Just remember to click the save button, and hold off on clicking the post button.
*Do not add a work habit grade for Conduct.
Updates after meeting with Dr. Williams on 5/5/20
