We’re continuing our equity work on Wednesday. I’ll send out the agenda before then and any necessary prep work.
Thursday

Back-to-School – Thursday, 9/13 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm

We’ll be in the gym (you will be on stage) from 6:00 to 6:25. I’ll release you at about 6:15 so

that you can prepare for parents who will be in the 1^st period class beginning at 6:30. You will have 10 minutes to present to parents in each class. I’ll email you the entire schedule for that evening. It’s important to be prepared. I recommend covering the following:

·      Why you teach what you teach

·      A course overview (Content and skills that will be focused on)

·      How students will be assessed (you might mention what they can expect for
       average weekly homework)

·      How they should communicate to you if necessary
