Please watch the video first.
Follow up from the video ..... For the first day please think about and be ready to share your answers to these two questions ....
What is your PURPOSE as an educator?
As an educator, how do you want your students to remember you?
Opening day for staff on Tuesday, September 3 - The entire district will get together first thing in the morning (8am) in the Middle School Multi-Purpose Room for the Superintendent’s welcome, followed by a WEA meeting. As a staff, we will meet at 9:30am in the Media Center. Here is the complete Agenda for 9/3/19.
My Goals for the 19-20 SY ( I will talk more about these next week)
DLC’s - This will be a school-wide goal as we go into year one. This will be a slow process, but together I know this will bring a huge positive change to our school.
Feedback - I want to make sure you are getting feedback that is meaningful, sincere and timely.
Purpose - Sounds like a simple word but I want us to see the importance of being PURPOSE driven. Purpose = The Why!
*As a district goal, all four schools will be talking and updating their school’s mission statement. This is something we, as a staff, will be working on together throughout the first half of the year.
Things we need to do, but let's make them meaningful!

Working Wednesday’s
We will keep in place the working Wednesday mindset. I have mapped out all the Wednesday’s throughout the year (the best I could) to account for everything that needs to get done. We will use Wednesday’s for the DLC’s to meet as well.

Planning
At the end of last year we talked about planning and trying to streamline the process. This Doc (Planning - What we are looking @WHS ) puts our expectations into the simplest terms when it comes to your plans. I showed everyone this Doc during their end of year Eval meetings, so this is nothing new.
PDP Plan
The DLC meetings will help shape our goals this year and moving forward. We have three DLC meetings before the PDP’s are due on 10/24. We will talk more about this on 9/3.
*The overall school goal will focus on implementing DLC’s across all departments.
What to expect for the first day with students
September 4 we will follow a Special Schedule where all classes will meet. The rotation will start on Thursday, 9/5, with Day 1.
*Note Wednesday, 9/11, will be another Special Schedule with all classes meeting. We needed to do this for picture day and bus evacuation drills. The Physical Education department will take care of both of these things.
The entire school year has been planned out related to the rotation schedule. See link to the calendar for the year: 2019 - 2020 Rotation Schedule

Gym padding - The wall padding was replaced and updated with new logos.
Greenberg Center Entrance - The entrance has been completely renovated with a new floor and wheelchair ramp. The bathrooms were renovated back in June and the Booster Club is donating all of the new signage around the entrance and gym.
