Week of September 6th - 9th

 WHATS THE PURPOSE OF TAKING A SURVEY IF YOU DO NOTHING WITH THE RESULTS??

Last year at the end of the year teachers took a survey about what went well during the 2015-2016 school year and what challenges they faced: 

MOST COMMON RESPONSES TO WHAT WENT WELL:

1. Teachers supporting teachers:)
2. PBIS
3. Addition of Mental Health Clinician
4. More outside resources for students
5. Teacher/student rapport

CHALLENGES AND WHAT ADMIN IS PUTTING IN PLACE 

1. No Staff room at SY@FHS///// C-19 is now a staff room..Yes it NEEDS TLC..give me time:)
2. Lack of Communication/not knowing what is going on at school///Weekly blogger WITH calendar of events for both sites, communication through announcements and emails, Quick Meets as whole staff, meeting with teachers in person...
3. Some students roaming campus a lot///repeat offenders will be given 2 passes a day and MUST use those passes to leave the room.  Teachers HAVE to enforce to be successful
4. Tardy students/// 7 minute passing periods.. seems students are in class before last bell.
5. More support for teachers when discipline occurs///James, Sherry and Gary are collaborating about appropriate consequences and reaching out to teachers who have encountered an issue with a student and asking how we can support them..
6. SUBS/SUBS/SUBS//// We are fully staffed:)

Moving Forward
This week marks the beginning of the third week of school. Students should have received indications from all of their teachers on how they fared on receiving their first credit. MAP testing is completed, big THANK YOU to Kelly for ushering us through the initial process and all of the logistics it entailed. A big THANK YOU needs to also be given out to Sara Schneider, Chris Hill, and Sherry for completing and submitting the packet for Sem Yeto as a Model Continuation School.

So, what is next for us as a School now that so many of the getting school up and running at the beginning of the school year "Stuff" is out of the way? Now the focus needs to truly shift to ensuring that the instruction that our students receive in the classroom is filled with opportunities for student engagement, opportunities for our students to express themselves through writing, opportunities for our students to engage in each of our classrooms in critical thinking, and use technology in ways to foster the previously stated opportunities.

In order for this to happen successfully, collaboration within and across departments is vital. Also, please take advantage of professional development opportunities as they arise. The district website is a good place to start. Administration will also be sharing any PD opportunities relevant to your content areas.

Have a Great 4th Week!
