An Educator's Quote for the Week...
Mrs. Bradford
Mrs. Bradford is very resourceful. She has helped me navigate my first half year of teaching, and always has an ear to lend when I come to her with questions about how to improve my teaching. I know she does the same for several other new teachers. Thanks Mrs. Bradford!
-Ms. Figliuoli-
Ms. Ghent
MS. GHENT IS KIND, CONSCIENTIOUS, AND CONSIDERATE OF HER COLLEAGUES AND HER STUDENTS. SHE IS A VERY PASSIONATE TEACHER WHO ENGAGES HER STUDENTS AND TRIES TO MAKE LEARNING PERSONAL, HANDS-ON, AND FUN.
-Dr. Burstein-
The History Department
I would like to recognize the History Department for keeping me afloat this year. You all are an amazing group of people and I am excited to be your colleague. Each of you has helped me to grow as an educator this year by sharing new educational technologies, lesson activities, class room management tips, and just checking in to make sure that I'm alive at the end of the day. Thanks so much for all you do!
-Ms. Ignacio-

Minnie Howie the Roaming Gnome Award
Goes to... Ms. Olufoye!
Mrs. Cade writes... Ms. Olufoye is such an asset to the learning environment in the classroom. She brightens my day every time she comes in the classroom. She always has a smile on her face and is ready to help the students succeed. Although we don’t have common planning she makes time to have impromptu lunch meetings to discuss proactive plans for classroom improvements. It is such a joy and pleasure to share the classroom with her. Her presence makes a true difference in the culture of my classroom. Her patience and calm temperance with the students is contagious each and every red day.
Thank you Ms. Olufoye for being AWESOME!!!
If you were wondering...
What is the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
This award gives us another way to recognize and celebrate each other. Minnie Howie is passed on from person to person each week.
What do you do when you receive the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
Prominently display the award in your classroom or office. You can even brag a bit and carry Minnie Howie with you when you travel the building.
When and how do you pass Minnie Howie to the next awesome colleague?
At the end of the week, write up a short celebration blurb in which you name the next awardee and share a few things about him/her that you want to recognize and share. Send the blurb to Ms Wood for her Sunday "Week-at-a-Glance." On Monday morning, deliver Minnie Howie to the awardee.
And the cycle continues...
Brought to you by Titans Succeed / Renaissance Committee in appreciation of all that you do to make this a great place to work and learn.

Monthly Fire Drills
Please remember the following during each drill...
Please make sure you instruct all of you classes on the procedures and etiquette for fire drills.
Please remember to lead your class out of the room for the fire drill. Once the
alarm sounds, give quick and concise instructions, name a student to close the door and lead students to the field.
Upon re-entry of the building, instruct students to go directly to the class of origin regardless of time and change of periods (attendance should be taken when the entire class has returned to the classroom). In the event of a period change during a drill or an actual emergency, the administrative team will release students via the PA to their next class.
Attendance must be taken before, during and after drills and/or emergency situations to ensure all students whereabouts and safety.
