Their website is underwhelming but I found there 17-18 course catalog and they teach ALL SUBJECTS in short &#8220;Intensive Style&#8221; courses that sound <strong><em>SUPER COOL<\/em><\/strong>. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/wshs.exloer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2018-19-William-Smith-Handbook-PDF.pdf\">page 12 &amp; 13 of this course catalog<\/a> and be prepared to see some amazing ideas for Intensive classes here!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SO far the folks who have indicated interest are: Michelle, Kat, Karen, Mark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Student Led Conferences<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning out the sign ups right now! Looking at shortening the conference by 5 minutes (from 45 &#8211; 40 based on fewer classes to discuss) and I have drafted a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1PzDdFWuv61dxECKhtvR3rMfmV4BCH6i0s0i_AwR7nJg\/edit\">suggested modifications to the agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, in order to try and &#8220;even out&#8221; the number of students each teacher conferences with I am suggesting Karla identifies a number of 9th and 10th graders in each Crew that she will conference with instead of the Crew teach &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/10bM65Y8UsvBJVB3nQYMEoWASom0Zpk82nTH717Z9TOw\/edit?ts=5d5d6996#gid=1209864943\">this tab in our student lists doc<\/a> shows an example with possible students KLL conferences with highlighted in yellow&#8230; feel free to modify! If we make this work, no teacher would be conferencing with more than 15 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conferences will go Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 &#8211; 5:40 and then Thursday 8:00 &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Google Classroom for Parents?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have heard from a few parents that a couple of classes seem to be sending weekly updates to parent&#8217;s email (11th grade Gov class and one or two others). I believe this only happens when the teacher sends an invite out to parents, and parents can then opt in or out. I want to check in on whether or not folks think this might actually be helpful (or not?!) for parents. I do believe that we have some students (for ex. on IEP&#8217;s and 504&#8217;s) that might benefit from the added parent communication? <strong>Please think about this and be ready to share thoughts on Wednesday.

There will be a &#8220;referral form&#8221; to connect kids to Shannon. Students must not already be receiving counseling elsewhere. Contact myself or Cora or Alix to make a referral. We will also review caseloads at our MTSS meeting every 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cora Crabtree<\/strong> &#8211; Cora will be starting some groups on campus&#8230; communication and anxiety for now, as well as facilitating our GSA.
