Congratulations to Jess Calbreath for being recognized for her outstanding presentation at the PNACAC conference in May! She highlighted our College and Career programming work on SchooLinks and will be featured in an upcoming newsletter.

From Stephen and Katie:

Principal evaluations: Plan to have your SLGGS and self reflection completed and submitted in UKG by Friday, June 13.

Principals, you are required to have the evaluation process completed for Assistant principal evaluations completed prior to administrators leaving for the summer. Please let Stephen or me know if you need help or have questions about this.

Please see this document lining out our transition for removing the privlidge to attend certain events for the school year like 8th grade celebration and extra-curriculars.  This will take effect for next year.

HS Only

From Jennifer: Wayfinder workbook orders:

If your team would like to order Wayfinder workbooks for next year, please add the numbers (if any) needed before the order is placed on June 11th. If you are placing an order, please list the contact and address of the school for where the workbooks should be sent and make sure the numbers are all accurate by grade level as well as Spanish versions. If you have workbooks leftover from last year, please subtract those from your order number so we don’t waste books as they will be the same for next year.

If your school will not be order any workbooks for next year, please list a 0 in all of the columns so I know you have completed the spreadsheet.
