Week of Sept 4, 2017

HI FOLKS!  SO MUCH TO SHARE, so I apologize for the length of this week's blog.  Please have a WONDERFUL three day weekend and leave as soon as our learners are safely dismissed.

I will be sending you communication regarding morning arrival carpools (today or over the weekend).  PLEASE send this information home when you receive it.  THANK YOU!



DID YOU KNOW:
  • it is important that we have each of your cell numbers?  Please review/fill out this document with your most current cell number for our emergency binder.  
  • Chantel gets email reports (multiple daily) when you do not submit your attendance?  PLEASE do your best to take attendance on time to avoid these unnecessary reports in my inbox.
  • we have a partner school for Harvey relief?  If you are interested in sharing thoughts/ideas on how we can support this school, please meet after school at 3:35 in A118.
  • that we still need a Service Learning representative and a Business Community Partnership representative for our campus?  Please sign up here before being "voluntold". 

EMAILING PARENTS
*I have added this to the staff handbook*
Please, when sending out whole class emails (like your newsletters), email yourself and blind copy your parents.  Parents should NOT have access to other parent emails through any campus communication.  This is a directive from Mr. Hunt.


CURRICULUM NIGHT
Please request parents arrive 15 minutes prior to your start time on Thursday.  Please host your session in a closed classroom.  Also, please post a PDF of your presentation on your websites/blog.  THANK YOU!


AFTERSCHOOL CLUBS
Please fill out this form, by Monday, if you are/want to host an after school club at Lee.  New club ideas are welcome and encouraged.


BUFFALO WILD WINGS NIGHTS
Buffalo Wild Wing Nights will be on Wednesdays this year, and the dates are posted on the Lee calendar.  You are welcome to attend any of the nights, but we really want you to pump up the night your House will be represented.  Let the learners know your house will be there, put it in your newsletters, tweet about it, etc.  This is a fundraiser for our school, and the more you "advertise" it, the better turnout we will have!  Most of the dates fall on FedEx days, so you can head over after.  There are a couple of exceptions with scheduling conflicts.  Thank you, Ashley, for coordinating!

October 4th:  Purple House

LEEDERSHIP COUNCIL
It is time that we determine who your LEEdership Council member will be.  Learners should be nominated and elected into this position.  Candidates will prepare a short speech and may not spend more than $5 on their campaign.  This is an excellent way to practice the democratic process, public speaking, and risk-taking.  Please remember that those who have already served on LEEdership Council before are tasked with seeing the leadership capacity in others and should not run for a position.  (They may need reminding.)  Please complete this Google Form to communicate who your members are by Friday.  Your LEEder will be invited to ride the Homecoming float in the CHS Homecoming Parade.



BULLYING PROTOCOL
We will be getting specific training on the CISD Bullying Protocol at our first faculty meeting.  In the meantime, you have access to this folder with documentation and information regarding bullying.


BADGES
You are required, by the district, to wear your ID Badge at school.  Please wear yours!  If you see visitors or adults in our building without a badge, you must escort them to the office.


COLLEGE SHIRT DAY
Please promote this to your learners and their famiLEEs.  We want to represent as many different colleges as possible on Wednesday.


REMINDERS
  • Sign off on Employee handbook in Talent Ed Records
  • Add the Faculty Calendar to your devices
  • Sign off on our Campus Handbook in the front office
  • Complete compliance videos/trainings

FED EX DAY
Enjoy your one hour on Wednesday where you learn about a topic of YOUR choice related to YOUR goals, and earn Flex credit for it.  This is a time for learning.  Please post to Today's Meet after 4:30, but before 5:00, on Wednesday and share what you learned during your time in order to get credit for your hour.  We will send out a separate email about goals and these CAN be worked on during Fed Ex since they are due by Friday.




BOY GOAL SETTING MEETINGS
Please sign up on this Google spreadsheet to meet with Ashley and Chantel to review your goals for the year.  These meetings are not necessary for hourly employees.
