Week of Feb 20

Thank you for a hard working week, girls!  We have had a great deal of meetings and deadlines and you all have done an incredible job of tackling them.  We are going to focus on staying positive and assuming best intentions in all we do- be a marigold and have a super weekend!


DID YOU KNOW
  • that a new bulb for projectors costs $165?  Please make sure you are turning off your projectors when they are not in use.
  • that the district is working through a Classroom Management Framework?  You will be hearing more about this in the near future.  Thank you Shari and Megan Sonnamaker for serving on a committee for some of this work.  
  • 21% of our learners are ESL learners?  Did you know that 14% of our learners are immigrant learners?  An immigrant learner is aged 3-21, not born in the US, and has not attended a US school for more than 3 years, total. 

FEBRUARY 20
Monday is a Professional Learning day.  Last week, I sent the email from Laurie O'Neill with locations.  Please attend the same subject area you attended in January.  Please feel free to wear jeans and a school shirt or shirt of your choice.  Remember you represent our campus!

Ashley, Kylie, Priscilla, Megan Schlossstein, Jacque, and I will be meeting with a gentleman from Apple.  He will also be on our campus on Tuesday.  He is going to support our CBL implementation and global collaboration efforts.  As we learn more about our work with him, we will keep you informed.  In the meantime- JUST ASK!!  If you are interested in working with him in the future, please feel free to email me.  He will be back at Lee for two more three-day sessions.  (already on the staff calendar)

PTO MEETING
Please make sure you have someone from each house attending on Tuesday and learners are well prepared to present to our parents.  THANKS!


STAFF MEETING
Dr. Waldrip will give us a brief Legislative update and will be followed by some questioning training from Linda Cook on Wednesday.  We will revisit Depth of Knowledge levels.  Thanks again for contributions to this folder.


BUS BEHAVIOR
We are having serious issues with behavior of our learners on the school busses.  Please make sure you are taking learner concerns seriously and addressing them.  If learners are bullying, getting physical, or hurting others then the office needs to be involved.


INNOVATOR'S MINDSET
We are nearing the end of our book study!  Thank you for all of your great contributions to our Schoology course and to discussions during team time.  Please have chapters 13 an 14 read by March 22nd.  You will not have an assignment in Schoology before that date, but we will discuss those chapters and celebrate our learning at the staff meeting that afternoon! 


STOP, COLLABORATE, and LISTEN
If you attend any of these trainings, please feel free to wear jeans that day.  Thank you, May, for helping to deliver training!


WEEKLY WALKTHROUGH FOCUS
Please be aware that we are looking at how you make adjustments when we visit.  Think about the Team Time question: How do you know they know it?  What do you do when they do?
