Week of April 25

THANK YOU for completing the MANY surveys that have been required of you this week.  Please know I do my very best to filter things from you when I can.  These were not tasks I could control, I'm sorry.  I do appreciate your participation and voice in these.  What you have to say, really does matter.  I hope you will have fun at our Spring Carnival with your learners and their families.  May each of your auction dates go for top dollar!!

OUR GUIDING PURPOSE: We empower learners to positively impact the world by designing learning experiences that promote relationships, risk taking, and collaboration in a flexible environment.

What YOU are doing to do to LIVE out this VISION at Lee?  

DID YOU KNOW?

• we ordered some more TEKS Prep resources with our State Comp Ed Funds?  These resources are from Mentoring Minds and are barcoded already.  Meghan is happy to check these out to you!
• that both Monday and Tuesday will be Day 1 on our schedule?  Due to training there is no PLC on Monday, but PLC will resume on Tuesday. 
• you are required to electronically sign each walkthrough and observation in Eduphoria?  Please check and sign yours before your Summative meeting. 
• Jacque helped design our RJL year 3 staff shirts.  Thank her for her hard work and creativity when you see her!
• you need to sign in and out of the Spring Carnival on Friday night?  I will count the time you are there towards your 8 hours you need to earn for June 3 (remember the email from Kristen about Bad Weather Days?)

CULTURAL SENSITIVITY TRAINING

Our training is Monday, and the schedule is here.  Please make an effort to leave a positive post-it or note in the spaces you observe throughout the district and HAVE FUN learning from others.  Training will take place in A120.

CLARITY SURVEY TO COMPLETE

Please complete this survey If you are a 3-5 grade Designer your learners need to complete it, too. It must be completed by Friday.

VISIONING DOCUMENT ARTICLES III, IV, V SURVEY TO COMPLETE

Please complete this survey from Dr. Denison.  Every person is expected to fill this out.  Be aware it captures your name and our school, so the district knows if you do not participate.  

SECOND STANTEC SURVEY

Staff, please take this 15-minute survey at your convenience:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TeacherSurvey16

Please also find a 15-minute window to have your 3-5 students take the student survey.  The question language on the student survey has been adapted for their comprehension, but this still needs to be an activity guided by you.

Please complete the student and teacher surveys before Friday April 29^th, 2016

END OF YEAR SUMMATIVES
Designers, don't forget that these need to be submitted in Euphoria by end of day Friday.  This is your time to brag on yourself, so please take every moment to do so, but do not write a book!  Summatives for EVERYONE start next week, so please double check the schedule to make sure you have a time.  All employees must have an EOY Summative conference. 

VOLUNTEER BREAKFAST 

If you do not have morning duty, please come out on the pavillion at 7:30, on Friday.  This is a great way to mix and mingle with our parents as we thank them for all they do for our school and learners.  With this being our second year, we are going to have to go out of our way, at times, to make our parents feel welcome and I believe this event will help.  We will put all leftovers in the teacher's lounge following the event.  Please tweet and email the invitation out and remind your learners that this event is for parents only.  Thank you, Kristen for designing our invitation and Samira for helping with food items from Social Spurs.

GEMS

      Congratulations to Nicole, Sanela, and Sam for earning district GEM Awards.  Please join us on Monday, at 6:00, in the Board Room, as they are recognized for being Great Educators that Matter.  

MOBILE VOTING AT LEE
Voting begins next Thursday.  Please be extra watchful that voters are not wandering through the building outside of the gym area.  Also be on EXTRA ALERT at recess times for drivers and voters.  We request that you please park in the front parking lot on Thursday and Friday, so that the voters can park in the back.  

"LEE"DERSHIP QUALITY OF THE WEEK
