Nightly News for January 12th

  • Special shout outs to our reading team and ESL team for filling in today at the last minute. We had a lot of last minute call outs and changes and needed to think quickly. Way to go team!
  • There will be no snack tomorrow from the kitchen. 
  • We are working through cases as quickly as possible. We did not have any confirmed cases (as of 4:20). Are their more cases out there? Yes, but we did not receive any positive confirmations today. I will clarify we did have a positive case confirmed, but this person had not been in the building two days prior to their symptoms AND their parent kept them home...this is exactly how it is supposed to work.
  • I am not sure if you have received this notification yet, but contract teachers evaluations have been put on hold for this year. I am not gonna lie it freaked me out for a minute because that means next  year we would have close to sixty evaluations to complete. The district and the union will be working to come up with a solution to balancing these numbers. Whew. Probationary teachers we are moving forward with your evaluations. I have not heard if they will be prolonging the timeline. Emily and I will reach out to our "people" to begin second rounds next week. 
  • I am aware of the letter HR sent out to PAT members. I am very thankful for all of you and feel this is not something we are seeing at Harrison Park. I can not speak to other places, but am glad to be here with all of you.
