Thank You! – The bosses’ day song and polo were wonderful. The food was great and Lewis enjoyed each of the 13 desserts that were available! I’m very appreciative of everything each of you do day in and day out to make Washington a great place to work, learn, grow and laugh!
District PD – I have read through four of the curriculum team’s minutes so far and am impressed by the conversation. We are also getting some good feedback through the online survey and it appears several of the teams are not only excited for the October 29th curriculum meetings, but have set agenda outcomes already. As Mark stated in his email, next Wednesday’s PD will be building/grade level PLC time. Teams should set their own agendas and let me know what support you need. The K-5 professional development was moved to November 5th.
First Quarter ends today with grades due Tuesday, October 21. Report cards are to be sent home with students on Thursday, October 23. A reminder to classroom teachers: if a student has earned a ‘D’ or ‘F’, comments should be included on the grade card.
Observations for Teachers on Cycle – Two weeks left in October. Do you have your second observation in yet? J See me soon.
Webpage – several WIS staff members received a brief training to allow them to add information to their school webpage on http://www.redoakschooldistrict.com/. If you were not able to attend and would like to learn how to begin your classroom/teacher webpage, please let me know. If you were part of the training and need assistance, stop in and I will try to help you!
Red Ribbon Week is scheduled for the week of October 27. Jeannie and Bev have worked on the activities for the week and Jeannie will give us information of the planned activities soon.
Coming up...
