TO DO:

This is both a reminder and TO DO item… As I mentioned last week, principals, please plan on having your self-reflection completed by May 17 as I will be completing your summative evaluation with you when I come to your building (for my monthly visit) after this May 17 date.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding the collaborative activities planned for next Wednesday afternoon, May 8.

THIS and THAT:

Although you are all aware of this, I wanted to include this in this week’s TRIBE anyway… Congrats Lisa!

Here is a letter from DHS regarding their new child abuse hotline and other information. Please spend a few minutes reviewing it and sharing it with your staff as is appropriate.

For fun, and because it is also illegal to drive a vehicle while holding/talking on a cell phone in Oregon, I wanted to pass along this article out of the Washington Post. My favorite quote from this article is from the defense attorney when he said: “It’s a big deal to my client, but small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.” (Read the article and see if you don’t find some humor in this too!)

I will be attending an AdvancED state board meeting this coming Monday, but will have my cell phone and may consider paying for interruptions, so feel free to text or call me if you need anything.

Wanted to let you know that next Friday (5/10) a small group of us will be meeting to reflect and discuss possibilities for next year’s expulsion programming for MS students. If you have any input/suggestions, please let myself, Hayley, Brian U. or Eric know – as we’ll be spending a little time discussing this topic.

REMINDERS:

May 20 is our last MS Horizontal meeting of the year – at PCMS. We’ll be discussing chapters 13 – 17 from The Culture Code.

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week – and I wish I could figure out a way to swing by HDMS for some home baked goods on Monday!
