Consider how you are

BE GREAT!!
Essential Standards charts should be completed before the unit takes place. These
will be used to guide our Dept PLC work.
No school Monday for Labor Day. Enjoy the day off to relax and spend time doing
something that relaxes you!
Tuesday at 8:00 am we will begin our grade level team meetings. We will begin with a
large group meeting in the presentation room.
Tuesday starting at 4:30 pm will be a sophomore parent open house. Parents can walk
through their students schedule or ask questions of counselors and/or admin.
Teachers are not required to be in attendance.
Wed Sept 3 are staff photos in the N Gym. I will be talking to them so they do not
have everyone sliding off their chair with the head lean. Usually we can start taking
pictures around 7:30ish.
Dept Chairs will have their first meeting of the year on Wed at 8 am in the SH rooms.
All dept chairs are expected to attend.
MAP testing starts Thursday Sept 4th. Steve Stumpff will get you a schedule of
testing for your class.
