Week of October 9th, 2017

Team - 

Congratulations to the staff members who won the September GOOD to GREAT awards. These are awards that represent Guilford County Schools beliefs about Teaching and Learning; Growth Mindset (Tinisha Shaw), Consistency (Michelle Meck), Racial Equity (Bruner Rodriguez), Relationship (Guy Shavers), Diversity (Tony Philpott and Julia Duran) and Critical Thinking (Stephanie Powell).  We already see mnay other staff who are leading the charge for the October awards. Keep up the great work!! Additionally, congratulations to Stuart Cox for winning the Horace Mann Crystal Apple Award.  Stuart has demonstrated going above and beyond for his students by taking the initiative to participate in extra peer observation walk thrus, stealing great ideas from colleagues along the way.
Last, a big thank you for everyone who has been  persevering through the challenges put in front of them and being in attendance each day, all day. All individuals that fell in this group had their name put in a hat for a $25 Restaurant.com drawing. This past month's winner was Demario Greene.  We will distribute these awards again the first Wednesday in November. As a side note, the Crystal Apple award will focus on PLCs! Thank you for continuing to move from GOOD to GREAT. I applaud each and every one of you are accepting this challenge.    

As a reminder, Wednesday Walkthroughs are on hold due to the PSAT testing for 10th and 11th graders. If you wish to participate in any of these outside of your regularly scheduled walks, feel free to mention that to Ms. Shaw. These pick right back up next Wednesday, October 18th.  Remember to  check your calendar for your Wednesday Walkthrough dates.

Leadership team meeting has been moved from Wednesday AM to Thursday AM due to the PSAT (7:45 Barnum's office). 

First round of evaluations are well under way and should be close to finished for Standard and Comprehensive cycle employees. Each staff member should be reflecting on how we are focused on integrating the EOCs (English 2, Math 1, Biology), and meaningful effort towards reducing the achievement and suspension gap. Additionally, as we have reviewed data for our school, AP and ACT should also be a focus. Thank you to everyone who is embracing this reflection and making a laser light focus on these goals.

As you meet your students at your doorway entering your classroom, never hesitate to ask a student to show you their SW spirit shirt. Students are taking more advantage of staff who do not address the code as it was written. Remember, we must be consistent. 

Additionally, food and drinks, cell phone, hallway monitoring has been much improved as it relates to consistency. As a friendly reminder, much of this can be eliminated at the door before the students enter. Thank you to everyone who continues to demonstrate consistent managerial practices. 

Monday(10/8) is the 2nd interim report distribution day for all students regardless of their grades. Please remember to contact all students who have Ds and Fs!  Last, please make the effort to update grades in PowerSchool weekly.

Seniors will have a senior meeting on Wednesday in the auditorium at 8:45. Upon finishing, these seniors will be released early with the opportunity to visit GTCC for tours, apply for colleges, work on applications and resumes as well as explore career opportunities.

Thank you for everything you continue to do to make Southwest GREAT!
