WOW. Thank you to Ms.Bee and Kojo for holding our MIP Capstone night. It was amazing to see the work students have put in over this year. Our students have a lot to be proud of. I hope we can find a way to share some of their work with you in the coming days. Next year we have ideas on how we can share this learning with all students.   The 8th grade teachers and students attending the field trip will be leaving between 9:30-10:00. Staff attending are: Coggins, Huff (has a sub), Benson, Schoene, Steeves and Dickey. Requests for coverage were sent out to support periods these teachers may have with 6th and 7th graders. 8th graders who do not attend may opt to stay home, but may choose to come to school. 8th graders who come to school will attend any classes taught by a teacher who is still in the building. For periods they have an 8th grade CORE teacher they will report to room 122 (Coggins) and staff will be covering during their PLC period on a rotation. This was communicated...

It sounds like there may need to be some brainstorming/problem solving around next week's WIN time. It is understandable that not having devices will make this a little tricky. We will hold a brainstorming meeting tomorrow morning in room 130 starting at 8:30 to discuss. Please come if you have ideas or input. Here are the updated slides from today's staff meeting:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ORiElgcucCJ6L6BSLlgv74qZ9LzBSyznCFxUepwvbRE/edit?usp=sharing  Do not send kids to the office, or anywhere else, outside of prescribed times for Chromebook turn in. There is a very specific way they are collecting  them to ensure no errors occur. The turn in times will be in the all school Google Calendar.  There will not be Fun Friday this week. The last one will take place next Wednesday instead. Next Wednesday Natalia will be holding celebrations for her students who have made some significant growth. They are listed below, and we will mark them out for a school e...

The checklist for end of year wasn't accessible earlier, it should be good to go now.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SwpXsrFsGdNKllh09q0P_gW0JdjqomW9/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117829890836834948640&rtpof=true&sd=true Natalia and Gustavo will be out tomorrow with a large number of our ESL students (see list below) for  a field trip. Natalie and Naz will also be attending to support.  Please be aware we made some shifts for next week. Monday our performing arts team (Joel and Bobbi) will be working with students periods 1-4. More info to come. Tuesday we will be on the OSAS testing schedule. Students will use the time identified for testing for WIN time. More info at staff meeting tomorrow.   Boxes and labels were delivered to those people who are moving classrooms today during 6th period. Orange tape was put into boxes on Friday. If you are moving classrooms and you did not receive boxes, please let Shannon know.  Koshurba, Nazar 8  Garcia...

Monday the 3rd 6th Grade Chromebook Turn In Tuesday the 4th 7th Grade Chromebook Turn In Last Staff Meeting @ 4:00 AVID Awards & Family Night @ 6:00 Wednesday the 5th 8th Grade Chromebook Turn In MIP Capstone Night @ 5:00 Thursday the 6th 8th Grade Beach Trip (Leave @ 10:00) Last Day of SUN Programming Friday the 7th 8th Graders Return We are heading into the final two weeks. This week will be busy with several night events and Chromebook turn in. Please hold to building and classroom expectations. The more normalcy we can provide the better. We do not have any alternative schedules this week so hopefully that keeps things "normal".   We will not hold PLCS or Kid Chats this week. Our hope is grade level teams find a morning to touch base about last day of school plans and get things firmed up.  Please note that in the event we have unfilled sub positions this week we may ask staff to cover during their PLC period as this is admin directed time. We hope this is not the...

 The printer from the library is now located in the staff room. This is temporary, but with the library closing we wanted to make sure it was still accessible to some extent. It is my understanding it will copy, but you can not send printing to it.   We have a fire drill at 10:10 tomorrow.  The end of year check out lists will be printed and put into boxes by the end of day tomorrow.  A reminder that 8th graders are participating in visioning work tomorrow. They will be makred out for 7th period in Synergy and will leave 6th period after attendance is taken. 

 It was exiting to see our Legacy WEB students handing off the torch today to our new "crop" of leaders. These kids have come SO far from where they were last spring when the first play date/training occurred. Thank you Dan, Amanda, Michelle and Ruth for making this happen today.  I will be off site in the morning for some work and an appointment. I should be back by 12:30. Spencer will be out at an AP meeting around 12:30 for the remainder of the day.  Teams please be making sure you are checking things off for the last day of school activities.  If you need specific items please be sure to get these requests in no later than Tuesday the 4th . There are several budget deadlines in the next two weeks and this time of year there is a very heavy workload for everyone, especially Shannon. With only four days after students leave she needs to be laser focused.  I am also tired of kicking her out of the office at 5:45 every night.  Please be sure to provide fee...

It was the Tuesday after Memorial Day and I could certainly feel the energy! I failed to put this in the Morning Minute, but Regina was out in the AM with our Jieshou students. She returned and Spencer left to support the AVID Field Trip. I had an appointment and left at 2:40. There were several other people out that typically support with students as well. Please be sure check the staff absence list daily to ensure you are aware of outages. I know there were a few situations this afternoon that may not have been addressed as a result of people being unavailable. On that note, it is important to continue to hold students accountable for behavior and document with referrals if warranted. I am guessing this week and next will be a little more robust with behaviors of concern.  Dan sent out a list of students to be excused tomorrow for WEB training this morning. Please be aware.  Library packing went quickly. When I left it was almost complete. Please remember we the library is c...
