1. Please remember to keep Edline updated every other Monday. It is also a good idea to keep parents posted as to what is going on in class at any given time.
2. Proactive communication is key. It is always a good idea to make parent contact at the very first sign of academic or behavioral trouble. It is also a good idea to call parents when their children are doing well or when significant improvements have been made.
3. If a parent requests a conference with you, please have them contact the Guidance Center to set it up. From now on, we will conference as a group, with the guidance counselor and an administrator present.
4. Please help us keep an eye out for anything that could be considered bullying at our school. If we are all making sure that our areas of responsibility are adequately supervised, we should be able to prevent most acts of bullying from ever happening.
5. Your lesson plan notebooks are in and your plans will be returned to you in these binders. They are big enough for you to include test copies and work samples (as many have done) if you wish.
6. Mr. Neu will be serving as the acting middle school principal while Randy and I are in Washington this week. Please take any immediate issues to him in our absence.
7. You may follow the progress of our Washington trip by checking out our parent blog each day. We will give a brief report on the events of the day along with photos and maybe even a video or two.
8. Please add our 8th grade students, chaperons and bus drivers to your prayer list this week. Pray specifically for good health, safe travel, and a wonderful, memorable experience for our students.
Have a great weekend, and I'll see you Feb. 9!
