Staff Meeting Recap
Thank you again for a solid staff meeting. I am really impressed and energized by the "let's roll up our sleeves and get better" mentality that each of you bring to the table. With this mentality, we are sure to continually increase the achievement levels of our students. I appreciate the focus and effort that you put into your work, and I feel that the collaboration time at our staff meetings is so valuable.
End of Quarter...Jan. 22
The end of the 2nd Quarter is on Thursday, January 22, 2015. Grades will be due on Wednesday, January 28, and report cards will be mailed home from here on out. A couple of reminders...
1.) You will need to go in and overwrite scores from mid-terms
2.) If you did not assess a standard, please leave it blank
3.) Take note of Greg's suggestion about comments on the report card. We can still put them in, but they need to be in the right place.
End of Semester Celebration
On Thursday, January 22, students will have the choice to go to KEVA Sports Center or the Portage Movie Theater for our End of Semester Celebration. More details about times, assignments, cost, etc. will come early next week. I am still waiting to confirm the movie time, and cost. Special thanks to Mrs. McNicol, Mr. Kallungi, Mrs. Greer, and Mr. Jorgensen for helping with sign-up and permission slip collection. I will share the documents with details soon.
Summer School Courses
It is time to start thinking about summer school already. If you have an idea for a new summer school course that you'd like to teach, or are interested in teaching summer school again, please touch base with Mr. Hausser.
Welcome New Staff Members
We expect to have two new food service workers for your building in January. Faith Tomlinson and Liz Campbell will be starting in the kitchen soon.Educational Politics
Congress is back in session this week, and they are getting to work quickly in terms of introducing educational bills. The first bill introduced this session deals with school accountability. If you are interested, HERE is an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the bill, and HERE is the School Administrator's Alliance's viewpoint about the bill. In the coming months, there is projected to be more education related bills introduced.
Swimming Pool Locker Room Renovations
The School Board approved renovations to the pool locker rooms. The work is scheduled to be started on April 1 and then will be completed by June. This will be a very nice upgrade to our schools.Twitter Find of the Week
