Week of November 6th

Staff,

Thank you for your amazing strength last week. I know that it was a tough week. As mentioned in my last email to you, I will be as transparent as I am allowed to be as we are going through this situation. At this time, there is nothing further to share. Please continue to support each other and if you are in need of any counseling, please contact EAP. Mrs. Moore provided everyone with the contact information in an email that she sent earlier today. 

It is important that we understand that the trust with our students and community has been weakened. We must move forward and show our students that we can be trusted and are here because of them. With this in mind, be careful with the way in which you are communicating. Be mindful of your tone, body language, and vocabulary. This does not mean to lower your expectations. We will continue to hold students accountable for their actions and their learning. As we continue to hold them accountable, remember that we must hold each other accountable too. 

I would like to hold town hall meetings during the morning connections for all grades tomorrow. It is important to address the students about a number of issues. Hopefully this will redirect their attention to what is really important, their academic and behavior achievement! 

We will be performing walk-throughs and observations this week. Make sure that you are delivering academically challenging instruction through the use of instructional strategies that yield high student engagement (Hint). In addition, remember to incorporate our PBIS plan into your classroom management system. 

As always, thank you for being a phenomenal group of teachers. You make tough days a little easier to get through with your jokes and smiles. Together we can move our CCRPI another 6 points! Continue being great, continue to support each other, continue to recognize the purpose for what you do on a daily basis! Your students appreciate you more than you know and your administrators do to! Here is to a great week!
