Staff Bulletin - Week of November 28, 2011


Welcome back, I hope that all of you had a restful week off. Three more weeks until the next break (I love this time of the year) so let's all finish strong. Remember, this is a difficult time for many of our students so let's work extra hard to support them - thanks everyone.

AM GREETERS – Diaz and Rad
EYES ON THE BLACKTOP – Brammer and Lobatz

CHOICES NIGHT AT PADEN ELEMENTARY - Tuesday, 11/30 beginning at 6:30 pm
We have two more presentations over the next two weeks at two elementary schools - Paden and Lum. Interest in the community regarding AoA continues to be very strong. Again, this is a reflection on the work that you are all doing each day.
STAFF MEETING - Wednesday, 11/30 from 2:15 to 3:15 pm
Focus on Pure Reading. Hopefully, you had the opportunity to read your novel over the break. It would be good to do so by Wednesday if possible.
LEADERSHIP TEAM MEETING - Wednesday, 11/30 from 3:30 to 4:30 pm
Originally, this was scheduled to be a 2-hour meeting but I felt like it was important to give you some time to prepare for the Pure Reading shift as the novel reading (for most) begins next Monday.
GRADING PERIOD OPENS - Wednesday 11/30 (grades dues by 12/5 at 4:00 pm) 
I extended the grading period to Monday (12/5) so please have them completed by then as I would like families to receive them by the end of the week - thanks. We'll go over incomplete grade guidelines on Wednesday.
1ST TRIMESTER ENDS - Friday, December 2
