Reminders:

• Revisit protocols and guidelines for collaborative planning.  If you are interested in seeing how another grade level and/or content area does collaborative planning, let Hogan know and she will arrange coverage. We learn best from each other!  
• Q2 Benchmark Data Digs will take place the week following break. Be prepared to dig in! 
• All parent teacher conferences should be scheduled by the Friday following break. Let Ms. Hogan know of any transportation and interpreter needs ASAP.  
• Please take attendance throughout the day.  This is so critical. Period. 
• Students must have written passes to be out in the halls solo.
• Whole-faculty book study:  Reading guide for Rac(e)ing to Class. We will come together as a whole faculty April 3rd to dialogue about the themes of the text and how those fit into our work here at Hilsman.
