It is weeks like this where the impending weekend never has looked so good. With two nights of Parent/Teacher conferences and five full teaching days, the effort and enthusiasm that our staff has maintained is quite impressive. So, take the time to enjoy the weekend, and we'll get a solid time for professional development work on Monday. Below are some note from the week.
Parent/Teacher Conference Wrap-Up
With our shift this year away from percentages and points, this round of Parent/Teacher Conferences saw us all fielding some tough questions from some passionate parents. After some informal conversations with teachers and parents, it appears that most of the conversations went pretty well, and that most parents understood our goals after we had the opportunity to explain. Kudos to each of our staff members on your efforts this week. This process allowed us to gain some valuable feedback from parents about how we can improve our communication in this system, and perhaps the format and structure of how we do Parent/Teacher Conferences. We will spend some time on Monday working towards consistent communication K-12.
Monday's Professional Development Day
On Monday we'll get started in the High School cafeteria at 8:00 am. We'll work to normalize the way we communicate student progress district wide, and work on putting the finishing touches on our SLO/PPG's and the whole Educator Effectiveness plan for the year. We'll have department time as well. To access the schedule, click HERE.
School Culture
The culture of the school is so vital to the learning that takes place for our students. There are a couple of areas in the school that are indicators of our culture...hallways and the cafeteria. Teacher presence in the hallway helps us to be proactive with behaviors and shapes our culture. Any chance that you get to be in the hallways, especially downstairs hallway by the lockers, helps in this area.
Fire Drill Wrap-Up
We had another successful fire drill. Thanks for your efforts to make this procedure go smoothly. We continue to review our safety plan to be prepared for any situation that could occur.
