Quote to consider<\/span><\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STRUGGLING STUDENTS: It is still the expectation that content teachers are connecting with struggling students’ families regularly<\/strong>. As you know, partnering with parents\/guardians to troubleshoot issues (eg: academics, attendance, participation, etc) is tightly correlated with student success. Continue to let families know of your student support session offerings during office hours, Wednesdays, and\/or before school. If the concern persists after problem solving with the student AND their family as well as implementing the next steps, please loop in the grade level counselor, admin team, and case manager (if applicable). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Spanish speaking families, set up a translator<\/a> to support you making this connection.  (Liz\/Heather P are available to support, if needed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, advisors will still be making family connections<\/strong> for students who are appearing red in our attendance data form<\/a>. Please continue to update this form with notes from your family connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBSERVATIONS\/SLGGs: For now, we are going to put SLGGs and Evaluations on hold<\/strong> until we get the district committee\u2019s recommendation on how to best to move forward during these times.  We use a collaborative\/coaching model for observations.  We are here to help improve instruction and to facilitate a positive learning environment so that students can grow, succeed, and achieve.  Don\u2019t forget that TLC has developed some classes and materials for folks who are interested in different strategies and support.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminders<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEDNESDAY SUPPORT REMINDER: Gen. Ed. student support session times are in twenty minute blocks<\/a> with the goal of avoiding students being double booked. Please continue to be mindful of this and communicate with other teachers<\/strong> if\/when a student is requesting to be a part of your support session outside of their period’s allotted time<\/strong>. If you find that you need more then 20 mins with a particular student to move them forward, consider setting up a separate time to connect with them when other teachers won’t be impacted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

MS CERTIFIED EMPLOYEE HOURS: A question about work hours has recently come up at the district level; we were asked to make sure all MS certified employee groups (teacher and admin) were reminded that, during CDL, their workday hours are 8:00am \u2013 4:00pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

EMAIL REQUEST: In an effort to reduce inbox overload, please remember to only “reply all” when the information is pertinent to everyone<\/strong> in the email thread. That said, when you have a student concern, please continue to email the grade level counselor and cc the entire admin team (Heather P, Nole, and Wendy) and case manager (if applicable). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
