WOW! You made it through the second week of school and I could not be more pleased with the stellar job you have all done. We are so super proud of you for your creativity, collaboration and heart. You have done an incredible job of supporting your learners, their parents, and each other. Thank you for your weekly communication. I am so impressed with the way some of you are using Bulb, S'more, Twitter, and Parent Square to keep our FamiLEEs engaged. YOU make our school look SO GOOD in the community, and I thank you so much for that. We have loved having class visits through the office and it is an awesome way to see each class and your individual needs. We are here for YOU! Have a fabulous Friday and weekend. Please REST. You deserve it!
DID YOU KNOW:
- Social Spurs is collecting beginning of the year funds? Linda sent an email last week. Please send any questions you have her way.
- parents are calling and leaving messages without their student name or ID number? Their phone number does not always show up in caller ID, as well. Please remind parents in your weekly newsletter that when they call or email the campus that we need their learner name and their phone number. Their learner ID would be even better! This will help us be able to contact them back. Thank you!
- campus number days can be found on the Lee Faculty Calendar and on the CISD Lee Website ? Thursday is Day 1 and first grade's Team Time day.
ATTENDANCE
Gabby will be covering attendance in the front office. Please forward Gabby, Kat, and Angel any emails from parents regarding absences that will be longer than 3 days. Parents who opt for an emailed excuse in place of a written one (within 3 days) can email them to gmartins@coppellisd.com. Please make sure you share this information at Curriculum Night and in your newsletters.
BOY GOAL SETTING MEETINGS
Please
sign up here for your BOY meeting- they start IN TWO WEEKS. We will work on your grade level personal goals during your first Team Time. We are excited to support you and your growth. If Kat is your evaluator, PLEASE try to sign up on a day she is here and please leave 8:00 and 8:20 blocks for Specials teachers. Bring your laptop to the large conference room for your meeting, and please make sure you add your goals to your Bulb and Power School before we meet. ALL campus employees must sign up for a meeting.
PLEASE KNOW THERE WILL BE TIME AT WEDNESDAY'S STAFF MEETING TO FINALIZE GOALS WITH YOUR GRADES/DEPARTMENTS.
PARENT CONTACT
Did you get a chance to reach out and make your happy calls? If you didn't, remember it is an expectation to pick up the phone and call EVERY family. Special Education, LAS, and Specials Team, please make some calls, too. Thank you for depositing in their emotional bank accounts! You may be surprised how much sunshine it brings YOU when you make these calls. Remember to document positive calls in Panorama. If it isn't documented, it didn't happen.
CURRICULUM NIGHT- SAVE THE DATE
Thank you for working as a grade on your Curriculum Night presentations. Please make sure you share your presentation with Admin and have the FAQ questions and answers approved by Chantel BEFORE sending home to parents after the event. It is SUPER IMPORTANT these answers are consistent.
