PMS News and Notes

The first week of the 2nd Quarter is already in the books.  Thanks to everyone for a great week.  Here are some notes from the week and for the week ahead.

IE Advisory Wednesdays
On Wednesdays during IE, while you are meeting with students and looking at their grades, please take time to review their Puma Pride scores, and if need be, set goals for next quarter with them.  This can be a good daily reminder for our students.

Report Card Format
Over the course of the past week, we have been able to tweak the report cards to be clear and meaningful.  There will be this PAGE1 with Grades, this PAGE2 with Rubric explanations, and an Attendance Report page.  We will continue to search for ways to improve how we communicate student progress.

Instructional Minutes as our Currency
Each minute of every class period is sacred, and should be used to move our kids forward in our learning standards.  As we face daily decisions, we should all collectively keep this as a core value.

Veteran's Day Assembly
This is a reminder that Grades 6-8 will be attending the Veteran's Day Assembly in the Don Kerr Gym on Tuesday, 11/11/14 starting at 9:00 am.  We should plan to head over to the HS at 8:55 and enter through the North Gym doors.  The assembly agenda will be similar to years past and probably will take around 30-45 minutes.  As always, your conversation with students prior to going over and sitting among the student body are always appreciated.

Sub Calling Hours
A reminder that if you wake up and feel like you cannot make it in to work, please call Gary Laib no earlier than 5:30 am and before 6:00 am.  Also, if you know you can't make it the night before, please call him before 10:00 pm.

Duty Schedule for Next Week
Morning Duty - Frehner, Graeve
Bus Duty - Graeve
