Thursday Thriller
February 15, 2024
Nuts-n-Bolts
1. 8:15 Staff picture in the gym. The schedule for group pictures is in the Garrison Gazette.
2. I have had counselors change up student schedules per parent meetings, discipline being the driver to separate students and modifying a student's day. Remember, if you are suggesting a schedule change for a student we are happy to work with you after these have been accomplished. If it's a phone call to a parent that you are hesitant about, Nicole D and Kim will make the call with you.
Thursday Thriller January 11th:
Second semester: If you have a combination of students in a class period that need to be broken up, we will try to make this happen. Here are the conditions. :D
A. What other class period of yours (not another teacher) would a student best fit in?
B. You have had conversations throughout the semester about behavior, academics, etc. with both student and parent.
C. You make the call to the parent or Parent Square WITH A RESPONSE that the parent understand why the change needs to be made.
D. You talk with the student.
E. Contact counselors with A-D completed no later than Friday, Jan. 19th
**Steve and Nicole are pretty good miracle workers! They will try their best to make the schedule changes but there are no guarantees.
3. Grace will be sending all students a quick survey to take during Advisory tomorrow.
4. If you didn't know, it's a three day weekend. :D Just ask Gonzalo 😃
Something to Ponder
Going back to some basics that are supported by research.
Learning happens when these lesson components are dialed in. The first component is Classroom Culture and Learning Routines.
The blue numbers. .82, .77 and .66 are the effect size. Remember- .40 equals a year's worth of growth for a year's worth of input.
Something to think about. Would your classroom culture and learning routines yield an ROI of .4 or higher? Hope you find a gold nugget in the links I shared and the chart below

Complaining is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but does not get you anywhere.
