Staff Meeting Wrap-Up
Thank you for a solid staff meeting this past Wednesday. Hearing from each other about the innovative practices that are happening was energizing to me, and I hope to you as well. As you plan, keep in mind the culture of innovation we are striving for, and the skills we need our students to practice, receive feedback from, and grow.
Also, I appreciated your feedback on a couple of key school culture issues. Your input will guide the work we do to shore up some of the areas that are in need.
Article of the Week
The title of the article this week is about Cultural Awareness, but the 6 tips given also provide insight into how we can maintain safe place for students, not only with cultural differences, but also other differences like socioeconomic status. A short, solid read.

Chrome book Care
The number of chrome books from our carts that have been damaged by students has been increasing steadily. We are mainly having issues with the keys being moved. A check-in procedure is necessary to ensure that students are not damaging the chrome books. We need all of us working together to help maintain these essential resources.
Forward Exam Information
The 8th graders kicked off our Forward Exam testing season this past Thursday! So far, things are going smoothly. As a reminder, in a homeroom before each grade begins testing, we will have a "Forward Exam" special lesson for Homeroom. This will be a critical time period used to pump our kids up to do well on the test, as well as to review the interface used for the Forward Exam. Students will also be practicing the online testing tools in their respective Math and ELA classes.
