Staff Action Items

To help provide clarity about specific tasks you need to complete, I am going to add a Staff Action Item section.  These are to be complete this week or reminders that related to district initiatives. 

  • Ellevation Training Modules - Please complete your Ellevation modules for Semester 1 and Semester 2.

Additional Reminders

  • Final SLO Conferences - I will be sending you information by this Thursday for Final SLO conferences and formal evaluation information.  I would encourage you to begin reviewing your i-Ready results and comparing to your SLO goal.  You can log into SCLEAD.ORG and look at the Final Conference information if you would like to get ahead on your documentation.  
  • i-Ready Push! - Continue the push with i-Ready MyPath and keep monitoring students progress.  Our goal is to continue our progress with lessons passed and overall student growth.
  • Job Shadowing Day Class Instruction - On Friday, March 22nd our students will have the opportunity to participate in Job Shadowing.  This is a voluntary opportunity and a great way for students to see potential careers.  On that day, you will still be expected to have normal classroom instruction for students that are present.  Plan your instruction and instructional activities as you would for any other day.  If a student is missing that day, they are allowed to complete missed work as they would for any school approved absence.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this.  
  • Test Training Change - We will have our end of the year test training on Wednesday, April 17th at 3:30 PM.  This a mandatory session for all staff.
  • Computer Device Collection Date - April 22nd - We will collect student devices on April 22nd to get ready for State Testing.  All students will become day users at that point.  This gives us time to put work orders in and have those devices ready for testing.  Stacey and Jared will have more information for this as we get closer.
  • Facility Needs:  If you have any facility needs, email Eric, Katie, and me.  If you need desks, please let us know as soon as possible.
