Great work team!
Herff Jones will be coming to SW to hand out packets to Seniors that
will give them information about ordering their supplies online. These supplies
include their cap and gown, class rings, senior gear, etc.
This will take place Friday, September 25th from 10am-2:30pm in the back student parking lot.
*If
students cannot make this time or date, instructions are on the flyer for them
to follow.
At the same time, we are using this event to also do name verification for the students' diplomas and Lifetouch picture information. This is normally done during homeroom if we were face to face.
Please help us by sharing this information out to any seniors you may teach. Below is a flyer that you can post on your Canvas page (Stephanie Powell e-mailed it on Friday), or email out to your Seniors.
From the Staff meeting on Friday (Presented by Ms. Graves and Ms. Wright - please complete the links)....
Below are the links to be completed verifying
that you have received these trainings.

2020-2021 PLCs
The goals of effective professional learning communities:
·
Increase student
achievement

Create meaningful and
quality task and assessments

Establish professional
relationships

Improve teaching and
learning
Effective
professional learning community:
·
Always Assume Positive Intentions: All members come with the intention to work and
assume the same of their colleagues
·
All members focus on
increasing student achievement
·
Work to create
meaningful and quality task/assignments/projects/assessments aligned with
course curriculum standards
·
Understand and prepare
to implement the district curriculum framework
·
Unpack the curriculum
standards to make constructive instructional decisions
·
Set SMART goal(s) (often
connected to the most pressing instructional challenge, service-learning
project, quality task, or a skill)
o Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant,
and Time-Bound
·
Analyze student data
for strengths, weaknesses, and remediation strategies
·
Review concepts and
skills necessary to master standards
·
Develop effective
lesson plans and assessments
·
Share instructional
practices, pedagogical knowledge, and teaching experiences

Always end with an
action, plan, or solution
This school year, the focus is for your team to use data to
drive instruction and increase student achievement. Below, I have attached the
fall PLC meeting schedule as well as copies of the data protocol and assessment
analysis documents to be used as you meet. A link will be created weekly
for you to submit your data protocol/meeting minutes to Canvas. All meeting
minutes should be posted by the end of each week by 5:00 pm to Canvas as an
attached Word document.
Video -- How to Sync from Canvas to PowerTeacherPro Gradebook.

Some Caveats about using the Sync Feature:
- Only Numeric Grades will sync to PowerTeacherPro ( not Complete/Incomplete, Letter grades, etc. )
- If an assignment is marked Late or Excused in Canvas that will sync to PowerTeacherPro (excused will be marked exempt in PTP)
- Assignments marked as Missing will not sync as Missing to PTP (you can mark it as Missing once it is in PTP)
- Comments do NOT sync from Canvas to PTP
- If you Mark assignments Missing, Incomplete, or Absent or if you add a comment to PTP and then sync the grades from Canvas a second time, all of those marks and the Comments will Disappear! You would have to go to the Assignment tab in Canvas and uncheck that you want it to sync with the SIS in order to avoid those marks and comments from Disappearing!

Staff Please try to complete Verification Forms Daily (along with your many other tasks) 😊
No set time just the day of… preferably or the next morning at the latest.
I will send reminders on Mondays and Thursdays (for now) so please set email reminders or phone alarms. After Sept. 21 only Monday reminders…
Feel free to use this link when students tell you they don't have a device, or internet, or need work, etc....
Jessica White is leading the charge with the oversight of delivering work to students houses, as well as the pick up of work. We will only deliver items that are on the tables in the front office foyer area. If you are needing items picked up, you MUST fill out a form to have that work picked up and put on the routes. We now have a steady drop off/pick up system every Tuesday and Thursday. Please e-mail Jessica White with any questions related to this process.
If there are any items I have not addressed, or failed to get answers to you, please remind me so I can stay on top of those inquiries.
We are in it it together. We got this. We are... Southwest!
Enjoy your weekend!
Mr. Hettenbach
