Nightly News for September 13th

  • From Kenneth- Hello HP! I have ALOT of these inflated plastic Chromebook covers from the devices that have come back from repair. I wanted to offer them up, In case any you all would have any use for these. If no one wants them here, I'll offer them to Kellogg staff. If there are still no takers, I'll send them to their grave in the trash bin :/
Send me an email if you have any questions or would like some. Thank you all!



  • Latinx Heritage Month is September 15 - October 15. Here are a number of resources to support teaching and learning about Latinx people, cultures, issues, contributions, and histories.



  • We finally got some clarification around conferences. Schools may conduct virtual conferences, but will need to ensure that they accommodate any requests for in-person conferences. I am making the decision that our conferences will be in person and if parents would like to conduct an online conference we will be accommodate as best as we can.  While staff were allowed to work remotely last year, the expectation for this year is for staff to be working in the building for the day and evening conferences on both of these days. 

Per the PAT contract, section 6.7.2 highlights include:

  • The regular teacher work day is still 7 hours and 45 minutes.

  • Teachers are required to have at least a 60 minute duty free dinner prior to evening conferences

  • Evening conferences shall last no longer than three hours and shall conclude by 8:30 p.m.


  • Clarification on who is working on September 23rd and October 14th.

  • Professional educators at Non-CSI and Non-TSI schools are invited to attend; Attendance is optional; educators who attend will be compensated at their hourly rate. Harrison Park is NOT a TSI or CSI school so attendance for our PAT members is optional. Here are information about other work groups for 9/23, 10/14, & 2/17 : 192 & 202

  • Non-Rep: Not a work day

  • 210 Classified (PFSP) or Non-Rep: Not a work day. This would include EAs, Paras.

  • 225 Classified (PFSP) or Non-Rep: Expected to work 9/23 & 2/17 (10/14 is not a work day)

  • The 9/23 Professional Learning day will be at McDaniel High School and Grant High School. We are still determining which sessions will be at specific locations.

  • Lunch will be provided for all educators in attendance.

  • Please register in Pepper for the event and priority registration will end at 11:59 PM on September 14

  •  September 23rd Pepper Registration document. TPL will send out communication to teachers through the Teacher Connect and through a direct email to all teachers the week of September 6th and September 12th.


  • This is in Teacher Connect, but I am going to share it out here as well:

Texts have been arriving at distributors and they are in the process of boxing up books by grade and getting school shipments ready to go out. As we continue to wait for the arrival of texts for our Wit and Wisdom curriculum. We want to share guidance about when you will need to have student core text. You have access to these digital texts to use until text arrives. One suggestion is that you can have student access these digital texts on their Chromebooks for upper grades.

Digital Core Texts and Supplementary Texts for Module 1

Here are the adjustments for not having the core text for each grade:

Kinder

1st Grade

2nd Grade

3rd Grade

4th Grade

5th Grade


How do I access the Wit and Wisdom Online Resources Video
