Happy Friday Team. You did it...you made it through another busy week. I want to tell you how much I appreciate your dedication to prepping for instruction. It is very obvious to me, to any C&I team members, to any administration and DSQ when you have prepped for the lesson instruction and are prepared to teach, and when you are not. This is the expectation and NHA standard, so if this is an area you need to work on, please do so.
It is supposed to be a chilly weekend. I hope that you take some R&R time to balance out your prep time this weekend. Take care of yourself, get some rest, and remember we have our Regional PD at Centerline Prepatory Academy on Monday!
This Week:

Interims

I was very impressed with your plans for review that we discussed during our GLT's. Please make sure to adhere to the schedule for instruction and review that we discussed and that was sent out in our GLT Notes email. Let me know if you have any questions.
Common Assessments
Our data is not available. I will try to upload this Monday.
ELA
We are starting to notice an increase in staff arrival tardiness. This is a non-negotiable, as we discussed during Back to School training. It is an expectation that all staff (unless your start time begins at 8:00 or later) are here in the building by 7:30. We do have to keep track of your late days, in addition to your days out of the building. Thank you for your adherence to this expectation.
Return from Lunch
Your daily schedule includes a 30 minute lunch. Please make sure that if you step out to get your lunch that you return within that 30 minute time frame.
Also, please remember to be back to your class or pick your class up in the gym by the end of your scheduled lunch period.
Copier and Printer Use
We are experiencing a huge amount of papers being printed out on the Color and Black printers and copied on the office copiers that are not being picked up for use. This is a waste of paper and money. If you print something, please make sure to pick it up. We do not want to have to put limits of use on these machines.
Weekly Attendance Grids
Please make sure you are filing your signed and dated Weekly Attendance Grids. Do not put them in the plastic file container outside of the Dean's Door. We do not file these. If the door is closed or it's after hours when you bring it down, please don't leave it. Plan to bring it down to file on the next school day.
Candy Needed for Trunk or Treat
In order to ensure that there is enough candy for Trunk or Treat, we are asking each family to send in two large bags of candy before Wednesday, October 25th. Please send this reminder home OFTEN in your Dojo/SchoolConnect in these next couple of weeks to help us get the candy donations we need.
