Team,
I hope you had a good participation rate for conferences. It was great to see you at CEL today too.
I know staffing, creating schedules, and placing folks can be stressful; and it can be inspiring as we look toward next year as we start to look at new possibilities. With that end, please have your staffing plans complete by next Friday, April 21. I know most of you are hard at work on making this happen. So, as you complete this task, I want to sit down with you and examine it. At the same time, we ought to explore what you are planning for your SIF and MS Alt funds. I don’t expect you to have a solid plan for those, unless they are included in your staffing plan. So let’s calendar times to connect about your staffing plans.
Also, complete the anticipated vacancies google sheet. This is going to be helpful as we May need to place teachers. If you think you need to make new hires, call me, they need to be approved by your level leader. The anticipated vacancies sheet is below:

To Do
From Kinsey:
Respectful language message to families: Kinsey recently sent an email to all principals with a message that needs to go out to all your families re: respectful language. Please be sure to read that email and send the message to your families as soon as you can.
Dear Principals, Recently two of our student/family advisory groups provided important recommendations related to our work with bias, inclusion, and belonging. Given that guidance and partnership from our advisory teams, we will be sending this message to all families via the next district-wide Spotlight newsletter on April 17.
