Practice these drills with your students and have them become familiar with the language
All specialist teachers, MLL, SPED, Improvement teachers, SEL, WIN groups... practice drills with your groups of students so that in the event of a real emergency or drill during your time-students will know what to do
Classroom teachers and Specialist teachers it is extremely important to include any student in your classroom's safety plan, behavior plan or specfic student information with your sub plans
Have a plan in advance. Have all documents (student saftey plan, behavior plans...) in a folder. Then on a day when you call out sick, have that folder with your sub plans
We have had several behavior incidents the last few weeks which could have been avoided if these documents were provided for the sub./coverage
Mll, SPED, Improvement Teachers, and Coaches please sign up for your 10-minute Middle of the Year Meeting if you have not done so
"Teacher Mid-year Self-assessment" form on Frontline (there are 4 questions) should be completed before the meeting on 2/8/24 so that SLO progress can be discussed at the MOY meetings (This form is found under "Teacher Mid-Year Check-in" on Frontline)

We need these completed before March 12th
See Mrs. Espinoza to schedule your Middle of the Year 15 minute meeting with Lindsay or Cherie
