Week of March 27, 2017

Team - We finished a busy week ending with a visit from the Western Region Instructional Walk Through Team. I will be sharing feedback with all of those who were observed, in addition to providing general observations to the staff. With that being said, Guided Inquiry observations were the highlight of the walk throughs. Please continue to explore ways to engage students in your class and minimize the "Stand and Deliver" approach. In addition, please continue to make effort towards equitably enforcing managerial items throughout day. 

Thank you for your flexibility with the homerooms on Wednesday and getting those teacher recommendations in to PowerSchool. All of Guilford County Schools has moved in this direction of having teacher recommendations placed in PowerSchool. This will allow us to identify class placements and adhere to the student's final selections, therefore minimizing any disturbance in the school wide matrix.  Additionally, while I am still exploring what a modified A/B schedule would look like for a select number of AP classes, this investigation will continue through next year. Thank you to those who have discussed this with peers around the county and provided feedback to me. 

In your very next e-mail sent out to your classes, please solicit help for Julie Nichols on the night on NEXT Tuesday, April 4th for the senior project night. You may utilize her email (which wil be sent again on Monday) as a simple copy and paste. 

This week, we will be allowing students to follow the Spirit week set forth by Mrs. Repko's Leadership Class. Please reference Mrs. Repko's guide for this week (see e-mail). All additional questions should be guided in her direction.

3rd quarter ends Thursday! Remind your students to complete all items before grades get published!

Remember to PLC this week. Reference Canvas for guiding questions.

Last, and most importantly, thank you for everything you do on a daily basis !  WE ARE...SOUTHWEST!!  Go Cowboys!
