ANNOUNCEMENTS
WELCOME BACK!!!! We hope you had a joyful, relaxing break! Here's to an AMAZING 2016! I know it's going to be EPIC as we continue to educate our scholars and get them ready for next year! I'd like to welcome Tania Delgado who will be joining our team as the new EL Instructional Assistant. We are very excited to have her here to help our students! Also, a big congratulations to Ms. Rosenberg who got engaged over the holiday break. What a lucky guy!
Biweekly Data Talks/Check-Ins
Structured Recess - K-2 Campus
Formal Observation Sign-Ups
A few things have changed this year in regards to sign-ups so please keep the following in mind when choosing your time-slot.
- Certain time-slots only apply to certain grade-levels - this is due to the split campuses and our desire to continue making sure that at least 2 admin. are present during every observation.
- Some time-slots are longer than 45 minutes - this is so you can select the exact 45 minute block you'd like us to observe during that time period. Please make sure to include the exact 45 minute block you would like us to come.
- Remember that your pre-conference will take place at 7:30am on the day of your observation.
We will be offering an optional PD for those who would like more clarity on the process this Friday, January 15 @ 3:30 (3-8 campus, Room 34)
