Let's Try This Again...


As I shared with most of the folks on Friday, we have yet to complete an entire week of school for the 2018-2019 school year! I can't believe that! But, here we are so let's try this start of school again :)

Monday will be a normal day and this Friday will be a workday so...we'll have to wait until the week of Oct. 1 for a full week but let's make this week an amazing and productive one.  Many things have had to be moved around and adjusted so put on your flexible game face and get ready!

Due to us being out of school for 7 days, I have extended the deadlines for the September challenge to October 10th. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Updates

  • We do not know anything about make up days.  We are waiting for the General Assembly's decision on how many days we'll have to make up and then the October Board Mtg on 10/15 for the plan from our Board Members.  As soon as we know something we'll inform staff and families.Please feel free to share that update with parents if they ask.  I will also share this with them through Facebook and Dojo.


  • We are still having Curriculum Night on Friday, September 28th. I have sent this form to your department chairs and they will be able to add names to the chart. They will be contacting you to see who'll be representing your grade. Support, MTSS and EC Staff: Please email me if you are going to represent your team on Friday and I will add you.  I am also going to have a parent sign up link to see how many people we can expect so you can prepare handout properly.  More info will come later this week but just wanted to remind you today about this vital parent night.

And finally...Below are your challenges for September again! Good luck and remember our mission to develop artists who inspire others with principles of design and artful thinking through the integration of academic excellence, virtuous character and disciplined artistry is possible when we all work together and give our best to the mission.



Culture: Contact each of your homeroom students' families and give a positive shout out. Arts and Support Staff, pick at least 21 students' families to give a positive shout out to. These can be done in Dojo or over the phone.  A form will be placed in your box for documentation this week.
Mission Completed: Earns a Mission Accomplished Stamp on your Mission File and a GOOSE (Get out of school early pass).

Arts: Plan and execute an Arts Integration Lesson in Math and share out to staff in an email or social media post. Must include pictures and a piece for student work and if using on social media use the hashtag #tceaarts

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and I am looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! - Angela
