Summer Update
It has been a busy summer as we prepare for the
students to return on Monday, August 28th.
Housekeeping:
-All lead teachers are expected to touch base with their new team
member(s) by August 4th to introduce yourself and to begin team
building. Mrs. Rivers and Mrs. Gandee has met with the new teachers joining us
in our new Autism and ED programs.
-The Master Schedule Meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 9th
@ 10:00 a.m. I have the ‘Schedule Input’ forms and those who have shared
interest in helping to update the master schedule, I look forward to seeing you
soon.
-Over the next few weeks I ask that you reflect on your goals and
expectations for this upcoming school year to prepare for our individual
touch-base meetings & PGP conferences.
-Those attending the EEE Conference on next Thursday, August 3rd,
please meet us in Colgan H.S.’s auditorium. If someone arrives early, please
hold 7 seats, THANKS!
-We will begin planting the seeds for Standards Based Grading, in
September 2017. Standards Based Grading measures students’ proficiency on well-defined
course objectives. Students are given the opportunity to retest (after being
retaught) to determine mastery; score earned is the grade. Their grade is not
averaged but the grade that shows mastery is the one recorded. We will chat
more about this in the fall!
Highlights of the Week:
-Installation Update: The Project Manager has shared that the
contractors are working 12 hour days - 7 days a week to get us into school by
the end of August 14th’s week. Our building will be clean, creating
a healthier environment for our staff and students. 
-We are fully staffed:
