What a fabulous week!
Wow, I have experienced many powerful conversations this week, and I have enjoyed every single one of them! Please remember, as we continue to address our challenges as a school (PLCs, Lesson Plans, Scores, Achievement Gap, Discipline, etc...,) please know it is important to me that we we use these conversations as a tool to improve SWHS. These conversations, as already demonstrated, will allow us to make a powerful decision as professionals; accepting the challenge and, as a team, address any issues that may be brought up in a positive manner that steer the decision making in the best interest of children. I can't be any more proud of the conversations I have had with staff this week, and the number of conversations I have been involved with, has been positively overwhelming. The majority of you are on board and I can't tell you enough how much the administrative team and I appreciate it. Thank you.
PLCs should be in full gear at this time. Please accept Ms. Shaw's guidance on the PLCs as you continue to meet. She has shared many great suggestions and guidance in what I have seen so far.
Reminder - Thank you for making sure that interim reports go home with EVERY child Monday from EVERY class. Staff absences should not be a reason for failing to provide your students with an interim report on Monday. I have communicated and will reiterate to parents that their child should have a report from every teacher when they return form school on interim report/report card distribution days. This is a great way to get connected with all your parents and ride that momentum right up to the very next interim. Remember that all Ds and Fs should have prior communication. Thank you for making that happen.
Wednesday Walkthroughs begin on Wednesday starting at 8:45 - 10 in Mr.s Barnum's office. We will send a reminder of who is observing and being observed. Remember, this is an opportunity for takeaways as well as providing feedback.
Tuesday is the GCS Celebration of Excellence. We have a lot to be proud of! It starts at 5:30 at Grimsley High School. The administrative team will be present and we welcome ANYONE from our staff to join us. If you plan on coming, please let me know so I can decide on a meeting location that will allow us to all sit together during the event. Here is what we are being recognized for:
