Week of July 7

Hi friends!  We will continue to update you though the summer and email you when the blog is updated.  Please take time to read and comment. 

2015-2016 STAFFING
Jess (3rd grade Purple House) and Jacque (1st grade Green House) were approved by the school board last night.  This means they are now on our school-wide email distribution list.  YAY!  Please take time to welcome them, if you have not done so already.

Courntey will be going to teach 3rd grade in her sons' school, so if you have connections to anyone interested in our  media specialist position, the job posting will go up this week.  Spread the word!! 

iBOOKS UPDATE:

We are busy starting to compile information to tell "our story," but we need your help.  Each week we will have a focus and reach out to you to send us documentation (narratives, pictures, and video).  This will ensure our whole building is part of the storytelling and represented AND we will do this virtually so that you can participate from your swimming pool, couch, or beach chair.

This week we are requesting any evidence in relation to FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.  Below is the part of the rubric that relates to this task in order for you to see what kind of information we are looking for.  

  

Please drop your written contributions, photos and videos in relation to Flexible Learning Enviornments in this location by Monday, July 13.  On Monday, you will receive an updated blog with our new focus.  

If you are curious what we are compiling, you can look at Belton New Tech High School's iBook or any other school iBook on iTunes.  Download it to your iBooks and the sky is the limit.

If you are interested in going through our Twitter Feed and adding photos to the five categories, please email Chantel and Todd and we will grant you access to the folders.

If you are interested in heading up one of the 5 areas of this project they are:

• Visionary Leadership
• Innovative Learning and Teaching
• Ongoing Professional Learning
• Compelling Evidence of Success
• Flexible Learning Environment

Thank you, Britt, for meeting with Todd and Chantel today to start the legwork on this.
