Titan Staff News
Week of November 14
Titans,
It's that time of year we start the process of selecting our campus Exemplar Educator. This is one of my favorite things as a campus principal. It is an incredible honor to watch your staff recognize superior performance in teaching and serving students. The official nomination forms will be available in the main workroom. Please submit your nominations to the folder in Mrs. McGreger's office no later than December 9th.
Thank you for your kind words after our staff meeting last week. I appreciate your trust as we forge ahead seeking high levels of success for our students. I've said it time and time again, there's no better teachers to be working with students than you all. I have no doubts you'll accomplish great things with our students as we continue our focus.
Have a great weekend,
Kim

Important Information
- Parent Conference Night...food will be provided - TACOS!
- When you have completed your parent conferences, please send your documentation to your TTESS appraiser. Thank you!!
- It's Gen-Tex Week! Be sure to read your email from Mrs. Harris for the details! Did you see the JEANS all week if you're wearing College gear?!
- If you're invited to an ARD or 504 and you're on campus that day, you need to speak to your grade level AP prior to declining the invitation or not showing up. ARDs and 504s are an important part of our work with students.
- Did you know 504 monitor groups can be made in Aware? Also, be sure to complete all necessary documents prior to attending ARDs and 504 meetings.
- Be sure to stop by the AVID hallway. The updated display will absolutely move you as an educator. Trust me!
- Thank you for your support of the Holiday Pep Rallies! I was glad to hear we had more positive support for the rallies instead of the negative support that was shared in the meeting. Utilizing Connect for the rallies allows for little to no interruption to our instructional day.
- The RTI Google link has been added to our One Stop Shop Moodle page.
- If a parent asks, we are not allowing for Final Exams to be taken early. Any missed exams will need to be taken on January 2 during our Staff Development day.
- It's time to submit for Techno Expo! Our goal is for every grade level and content area to have multiple submissions. Let's show the district what our Titans can do!
- Thank you to the Veteran's Day Committee for all of their hard work preparing for our special assemblies. In addition, thank you to all of our performance groups!
