I just got right to business this week.😆
Nuts-n-Bolts
1. Thank you for a great celebration yesterday. :D I love what Shannon shared about our staff. This IS a GREAT place to work. :D
2. End-of-year Classroom/Tech Check out - This is what Brent, Marco and Ian need from you before you leave for the summer:
- If you have posters or pictures on the wall remove them if you want the wall washed behind them. If you are going to be in the same room you can leave stuff on the wall.
- Please leave the furniture right where it is. Please don't move everything to one side.
- If you need a repair please get it to the custodial staff.
- It is a short summer so please stay away as much as possible. We are asking staff to stay out of the building for the month of July. The custodians have a quick turn around from end-of-year until August to get everything deep cleaned. If you think you are tempted to come in, honestly...give me your keys. Seriously! We have got to stay away so they can do their jobs.
Here is the link to print the Check Out Sheet. Please turn it in Friday, June 16th end-of-day. **If you are needing longer to check out, please talk to Kim.
3.Here is the rough draft of Wednesday-Friday June 14-16 4. Here is the Google Doc to help volunteer the evening of Recognition
5. Schedule for June 16th. Trying to get this out early. We are going to do our 2 last REQUIRED by LAW drills at 9:00. Lock down with then an evacuation to the football field. Call it good!. If you have 8th grade students this day, you take them with you for the drill as if it were a 'normal' day with all students in your first period class.
6. Here is a link to the invitation and directions to the GMS Staff party on Tuesday the 13th
7. This August there are some important PD that I hope you will strongly consider attending. Our classes, all of them, have a range of learners within them. Just like our staff; we have various ranges and abilities. Staff, just like students, don't always get 'it' on the first try. So we adjust, strategize, reteach and re assess. We do this for ALL students as we should. August 17th is a day of Inclusionary Practices. This is open to ALL K-12 teachers in all subject areas, counselors, everyone! If there was any training at all that I would want you to attend, it would be this one. ESPECIALLY special education teachers and those that have co taught.
