Message to Staff…
I
hope you had a restful weekend, and it was great to see so many of you at our
culture building outing to Yen Sushi on Friday evening. For those of you who were unable to attend,
please know that you were sorely missed and I hope that you are able to attend
next time. I will be sure to share some
of the “enlightening” footage from the evening so that we all have the
opportunity to enjoy some of our colleague’s hidden talents! Ok team… October is considered the “make it
or break it month” in education. It’s
long with no breaks; the weather changes; honeymoons end, if they haven’t
already; and the dreary list goes on… But I believe that we can make it! We are “Wavestrong” and that means that we
can turn the expected negative into a sustainable positive. Let’s turn an ordinary October into an
extraordinary “Rocktober!” Are you with
me? I certainly hope so because I
believe in you, our families and every one of our scholars! All of them, “the good, the bad and
the…!” Well you know the rest. As always, I appreciate your patience and
commitment. And remember… “It’s great to be a Westside Wave, where we
transform potential into reality!”
Our week at a glance…
The highlight of this week will be NWEA testing which will take
place in the admin office common area.
Please be aware that students will be called out of classes via call
slips that you should receive in your mailboxes. Please understand that students finish
testing sessions at different times and will rejoin the period in session when
they are done. Further, remember to be
appropriately considerate with assignments at this time, especially classwork
that may be missed. For example, if a
student misses classwork due to NWEA testing, I would expect your grade book to
reflect the following: the assignment excused, properly coded (EX) and a brief
explanation in the comments such as, “assignment excused due to NWEA testing.”
As many of you may already be aware, our SPED instructor, Becky
Davis has not been present. She is
currently out on leave and plans to return next semester. As such, she is NOT to be contacted for work
related matters. Please respect her
privacy and refrain any use of Green Dot email to communicate with her during
this time. We are working hard to secure
a highly qualified long-term substitute to assume Becky’s responsibilities and
we will keep you informed as the process continues. Should you have questions or concerns, please
direct them to admin.
Finally, if you have not already been scheduled for your S1 Formal
Observation, please look for an email this week, as we move forward with that
process.
