Wanted to send out an early blog because we'll be meeting as a group on Friday. Some items may need a little explanation besides what is written. We'll have time to expand upon points on Friday morning...if you have any questions, as always, send me a note.
Posting Grades for Quarter 1
We will extend the deadline for grade posting for the 1st quarter. Grades will be due on Tuesday, 11/10/15 by the end of the day. Please revisit Anna's email about posting grades...you should enter a Course Completion grade of 4 for all students that passed the course, and a 1 if they did not pass the course. Comments should be posted within a standard also for them to show up on the report card. If you would like to see how the report card looks after you have posted, let me know, I can show you anytime. Please provide as much information as possible about the progress of each student.
Communication of Student Progress
I worked on compiling the feedback from the staff meeting last week, and I put together this document which provides guidelines for how we should utilize the grade posting in Infinite Campus. Check it out. We can discuss any questions or concerns when I see you, or Friday morning.
Lasting Connections
Check out this Article...again the power of connections for culture and achievement.
Veteran's Day Assembly
As per our Veteran's Day tradition, we will be going over to the HS for the Veteran's Day Assembly on Wednesday, 11/11/15 at 9:00 am in the Kerr Gym. The ceremony typically takes around a half hour.
Field Trip Guidelines
If we have upcoming field trips...please review the guidelines below:
-Teachers fill out Field Trip Permission Form and submit to Principal
-Teachers should determine the number of chaperones needed
-Teachers put out a call for chaperones (if necessary), sharing information regarding requirement for completed background check
-Background check forms should be sent to the district office immediately upon receipt
- Two Weeks before the scheduled trip, chaperones are finalized. That list is shared with principal/administrator
-Principal determines chaperone eligibility based on completed and 'passed' background check
-At that time, any pending background checks must be turned into district office
-Once a week the business office conducts background checks on any pending applications
-Teacher verifies with principal chaperone list one week before field trip
PLP Meetings
As a result of excellent collaboration from our Puma Pride sub-committee about working to improve the communication of student plans and progress, we have set up a system of meetings. The meetings will be held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays generally. Teams or teachers concerned about a student should work to fill out a PLP form, and submit it to Christy. At each meeting, we will be reviewing the PLP forms for students of concerns and setting up our interventions and plans for data collection. Anyone who works with a student on the agenda should attend. Emails with details about the students of focus for the meeting will be sent in advance of the meeting. Our first PLP meeting will be on Wednesday, 11/11/15 at 2:45. See me with any questions.
