WHS Staff News - Week of 10/18/21


I hope last week's staff meeting was informative and gave you some insight into how students are feeling and what they are dealing with.  Thank you Kim and Liz for presenting. Resources from the meeting:

First round of testing is over!!! Thank you for all of your help and cooperation. 

Students working in the hallways during class time 
I love seeing students working in the halls, courtyard and some of our outside spaces. 
What I don't love is seeing students in the halls who should be working on class work playing on their phones, talking with passing students and disturbing other classes. 
When you have students working in the halls, my expectations are:
  • Monitor the students by walking around and checking on the groups 
  • Give clear expectations on what needs to be completed in the time they are outside of the room
  • Set guidelines for phone usage 
  • Be sure students understand not to bother other classes 

Moving forward, as administrators walk around during class time, the following will take place:  students who are off task, playing on their phones, or disturbing other teachers will be walked back to their teacher/room.  If certain students can't handle the freedom to work independently, then they will not be allowed to work in the hallways. 

Last Call for PDP's
On Friday afternoon I will be going into Genesis and signing off on all PDP's. Please make sure you have entered your goals and the school goal.

PDP info was shared in a previous Source Post. Link to post
