Highland Norms: Linked here is a draft of Highland Norms. If you have any concerns or questions regarding these norms, please make an appointment with me to share your concerns.
Cafeteria Seating Chart: We are going to add some structure into lunchtime to help us with some group behavior support. A paper copy of your assigned tables will be in your boxes on Friday and we would appreciate it if you could come up with a seating chart for your class that redistributes the kids to a random position (and some strategic positioning as well). We will share a rubric with the students that spells out the desired behaviors. We will share this with you soon, so you can be aware and help with communicating these expectations during your morning meetings. When the grade levels accumulate enough points on the rubric they can earn their free-sit days. Thanks for your support with this and we will start this on Monday 2/6.
Updated SOP Access to Buildings: Our district has been working on updating the procedures for our buildings and here is the updated version; click Here if interested.
Report Cards: FYI the official turnover date in Synergy for the district is the 6th. We communicated the 8th as our deadline to you a bit prematurely so we will honor that date if necessary, but if there is any chance we can convince you all to get your grades done by Sunday night so we can be aligned with the district rollover date, it would be in our best interests. If you cannot get your grades done by Sunday night, then please reach out to me and let me know. If I hear from anyone then we will keep the 8th as our deadline. If I don’t hear from anyone then our new deadline will be Sunday at midnight so we can align with the district rollover.
Kaelynn’s Presentation: If you were unable to join Kaelynn today here is the presentation from today!
YouthTruth Survey Window extended until 2/3.
CPI Training: FYI there will be another CPI training in the gym on Thursday the 2nd. This is just a heads-up to expect some more cars and people that day.
Winter Culminations: Below is a table of the culmination information submitted so far. Based on what I can interpret by the submissions these should all work without creating conflict based on the time, room usage and formats. If you notice something problematic, please reach out to me and bring it to my attention. These are also now on the google calendar. If you still need to input your culmination info, please send me an email to let me know it’s there and be sure to work around the dates/times shown below.
