The Middle Update 11/13/15


SLO/PPG's
We are getting very close to having everyone's SLO and PPG approved and ready to go.  I have been reviewing the documents electronically and submitting feedback via comments on individual documents.  My plan is to have feedback to everyone by the end of next week and have the process complete by Thanksgiving Break.  If you have any questions, please let me know, but I will send an email once I have reviewed your document.

Staff Share
It was great to have our English Department report out that they had achieved a "cake moment" for 1st quarter by having little to no missing work at the end of the quarter.  If you have had a similar experience, please let me know.  We have so much knowledge and experience among our staff, that we need to be spreading the wealth often.

Staff Meeting Next Week
This is a reminder that we have a staff meeting on Wednesday, 11/18 at 2:50 in Room 3.  We will be looking closely at the use of targeted assessments in our classrooms.

Puma Pride Committee Meeting on Monday
The Puma Pride Committee's next meeting will be on Monday at 2:50 in Room 3.  We will review the Grade Level communication plan that we put in place for the Middle School, and also look to refine our parent-teacher conference structure.  We'll also continue our school culture discussion.  As always, anyone that has interest is welcome to join.

Hold Drill
Great job on the hold drill today.  This is a reminder that all classroom doors should always be locked.  The purpose for this is if there ever is a hold situation, the teacher simply needs to shut the door.  We will continue to practice our emergency situations throughout the year.
