Week August 21st

Good afternoon Staff,

This week will be a busy one as we are now moving into the real business of school. I can not say thank you enough for an amazing first two weeks of school. It is true that we have the best staff in CCSD! Please remember to reinforce rituals and routines. Discipline issues are taking off and we  want to rapidly enforce consequences. Below are the events of the week.

Please view: https://youtu.be/JI4y_VeJSmQ

Reminders: 

PTO: There will be a PTO meeting Tuesday at 6:30. Please make every effort to attend. Our PTO provides a lot of support to our school. It would be great for us to actively engage in the meetings. There are only two meetings a year. I am requesting that you attend at least one if not both of the meetings.
In addition, PTO is preparing to begin our annual Yankee Candle Fundraiser. The packets are in your mailbox and should be passed out to students Monday during homeroom. I personally placed one in every staff member's box. Let's all support this fundraiser by pledging to sell at least two candles. We can do it! 

Attendance:  Teachers are expected to take attendance each period of the day. From the faculty handbook, "Teachers are to check attendance daily in each class period and post it on Infinite Campus by the end of each period." We need attendance posted into Campus by the end of each period

Grade Book and Scheduling: Thanks to Coach Page for providing a tutorial on setting up Grade Book in Campus.Please remember our grading policy and expectation for posting grades. This is a reminder that grade books should be updated every 7-10 calendar days. Below you will find the link.
