Well... the first week of school is coming to a close and I must say it's been a huge success! You guys are doing a great job with the students, getting them to all the right places, being flexible with scheduling, and communicating with parents. Keep up the good work!
Labor Day
This Monday, September 1 is Labor Day which means no school for all students and staff members. Please be sure to communicate this information on your Social Media and Remind accounts with parents and students.
PAWS-itive Behavior
I'm noticing a huge difference in the hallways and during lunch with how students are responding to PBIS. I know it's because of the conversations you guys are having with your students and setting those expectations early. Thank you so much for everything you're doing.
PLC Meetings
We're working on a schedule for a PLC meeting days for this school year and I'm collaborating with the other elementary campus principals and curriculum department in developing a common plan for PLCs. I'm be meeting with our PLC team leads next week to talk about expectations for this coming school year.
Also, you received a two page article about the value of the PLC process in your mailbox yesterday. It's an article from the Texas Elementary Principals & Supervisors Association (TEPSA) on "Why PLCs are more relevant than ever?" Be sure to read this short article. Here were the top six reasons for a great PLC progress:
Why PLCs are more relevant than ever? - Dr. Tom Many via TEPSA News, August 2014
#1 - Because we need to prepare our students for the 21st Century
#2 - Because we need a new definition of success
#3 - Because every child deserves a quality education
#4 - Because what we do as teachers does matter
#5 - Because our kids will compete in a global economy
#6 - Because as good as we are, we need to be even better
Education Foundation
The Education Foundation provides our students with money to support our classroom instruction. Jo Nell Mellody shared with us at convocation about the help our employees give to the foundation each year. The Education Foundation Payroll Campaign has begin and The foundation has been given $13,704 for grants written by Scott Elementary teachers. Last year, our campus received FOUR grants from the foundation.
Friday Jeans
Reminder, all staff members have the opportunity to wear jeans on Fridays. Be sure to pay your $1.00 each Friday (or $35.00 for the school year). This money will continue to be used to support the scholarships high school students receive at the end of the school year.
