    Important Reminders

    Calendars & Important Dates

    We have updated our Scott Activity Calendar with current information for the whole school year! It would be good for you to look through at least this next month to see what upcoming events you need to be aware of.

    Staff Evaluations
    We're in the process of updating the NEW program called Strive that will house all our staff evaluation documents for this year. TTESS & Goal Setting folks, this is the time to begin drafting what you professional goal will be this school year. Brittany and I will be scheduling days/times in September to review these goals with you. Let us know if you need help with this process.

    Ed Foundation - North Texas Giving Day
    Last year, our campus received the honor for TOP DOG campus from the Ed Foundation because of the amount of money raised for classroom grants. We would also like to have 100% of the staff to support through the Employee Payroll Deduction program or some donation. You have received some information about this program in your mailboxes last week. Brittany and I will be sharing some additional incentives to help encourage participation in this process in the upcoming weeks.
