• Please sign in and out daily utilizing the I-pad in the workroom.
• Always greet your students as they enter your class.

• NO passes during the first or last 10 minutes of class unless called by the office.
  
• Instruction should be bell to bell each day.

So we know our CCRPI scores; we know that our metrics declined in most categories. Now, what we will do about it? We will continue our discussion on the CCRPI at Monday's Faculty meeting. The meeting will begin at 3:00 in the media center. I hope that you all have had discussion about your 90 Day plans during the week. At Monday's meeting, the expectation is that each department completes their action plan.

Please remember that everyone is expected to be at this meeting, so coaches and directors please be sure that you have made the necessary arrangements for your students.

Beginning November 4th, 2019, core content teachers will be required to attend the following weekly sessions in the PL room:

Department Chairs will need to assist with monitoring this for their respective departments.

Monday-Data Day

Tuesday-Collaborative Planning

Wednesday-Collaborative Planning

Thursday-PL/Collection of Lesson Plans

Friday-Data Collection

Please take some time to review the attached document detailing more of the expectations of what will take place in the collaborative sessions. Please be sure you are familiar with these expectations, as all will be held accountable for adhering to them.

All members of the PBIS team are required to attend a meeting Tuesday November 12th at 3:00 in the PL room. The TFI survey will be administered during this time and it is imperative that all members are present to participate.

Thank you to the Science Department for stepping up to help out with the Climate Surveys. We had a significant increase in the number of students present.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of staff requesting Personal Leave. As noted in the Faculty/Staff Handbook and the BCSD Employee Handbook, there is a protocol for requesting Personal Leave. All requests for Personal Leave must be submitted 5 days in advance. Leave not entered according to this criteria may result in Leave Without Pay. In the event that an emergency arises and you need to request Personal Leave which falls within the 5 Day window, you will need to discuss this leave directly with Mr. Frazier. Failure to do so will automatically result in a recommendation for Leave without Pay. I want to be clear that Leave without Pay is still a possibility if the request is made outside of the required notification period. The photo below is directly from the BCSD Employee Handbook.

Additionally, when you are out, please ensure that you have adequate plans/material left for your substitute. All teachers should have current emergency plans on file. If your plans are not current or complete you are asked to take care of this immediately. Failure to do so will result in a letter of direction upon returning from your absence.

Nov. 7 - Mr. McGough and Mr. King

• Kudos to the CHS Custodial Team, led by Mrs. Clark. We received the scores back from the inspection and they graded out at 97.59, the highest mark Central has attained in over a decade. Please be sure to thank the team for their hard work.

• Kudos to the English Department. Ms. Dennard commented about the improvement that she saw in the Writing Folders. There is still work to be done, but the growth is appreciated. Overall, 7 out of the 8 teachers had the required number of samples requested. We will address the more specific feedback once Ms. Dennard completes her analysis and provides feedback.

• Kudos to Ms.Sams for Rocking the Region again with Pippin! Back to Back Region Championships feels so good!

• Kudos to Coach Sample and his staff for continuing to keep the team focused, even in the midst of a tough beginning of the season. Their perseverance paid off with a trip to the playoffs, the first for the program since 2014.

• Kudos to everyone for helping to get us Over the Hump. I hope everyone has enjoyed the Theme Days and the treats provided. The Classified (Non-Office) staff sent everyone out with a bang with that pulled pork Thursday. It was a great month. We have to do it again sometime soon,.
