Lockdown/ Earthquake drill- Our lockdown drill is scheduled for Tuesday, January 17, at 1:35. If Dibels is not completed by that time, we will do it on January 19 at the same time. We will also do an earthquake drill with the lockdown. Listen for directions on the intercom.
Dibels- Please see our Winter Dibels Schedule for JANUARY 17th. IT IS THIS TUESDAY. Your time should not conflict with recess, lunch or specials, according to the master schedule, but please let Katie know if you see a conflict. If you need to make a change with someone, please check with that person then let Katie know so she can change it. In the fall our testers were running ahead of schedule, they probably will again so Alisha and Deborah, we should be able to get your classes earlier.
STEM- A couple items to pass on from the STEM team.
- There will be a STEM meeting in the STEM room at 1:00 on January 18th. All are invited to attend. As we have mentioned, the STEM team is a bit thin and this would be a great time to make a switch from PBIS or PLC team. Thank you in advance.
- The new PLTW module kits are in teh STEM room in the library. Teams should come and get the boxes and try to get them organized and labeled as soon as possible and place them on the shelves in the STEM room or stage.
Testing- State testing is still a ways off and we have not yet received any information from the district regarding security and protocol. That being said, we want to have an initial meeting Tuesday, January 17 at 2:30 in Alicia Clawson’s room. We want to share some results from last year as well as resources for the next few months. We hope to be finished in about 15 mintues.
From Andrea in HR – Here is an updated link to our employee benefits webpage. We want to draw your attention to the wellness resources that everyone has access to as well. Our goal is to update this quarterly and that you are able to share it in your staff newsletter.
Erin’s Law- We will most likely be doing the same thing for Erin’s law this year as we did last year, meaning that you will deliver a few short lessons to your students. We are still waiting for direction from ed center, as they are exploring the possibility of piloting a new curriculum at a few schools. You don’t need to do anything right now, but we wanted to put it on your radar. We will let you know when we know more.
Youth Truth Survey- Please complete the Youth Truth Survey if you haven’t already. Thank you.
Have a great three-day weekend. Take a moment to focus on what we remember on Monday.
