To all Morrison staff,
Everett Paul Hsu was born on Sunday morning, May 15. Congratulations to Gloria and Clive (High School Guidance Counselor).
The SIP Annual Report is our report to the Board, WASC, and ACSI. Check out the summary on page 8. It shows that we’ve made a lot of progress this year. Good job everyone!
The May 11 SAC meeting notes include the adoption of the updated curriculum guides for LA (Language Arts) and VPA (Visual & Perfuming Arts) which will be posted early next week. Several task forces and parent conference dates were changed On the 2011/12 Meeting Dates document. Consideration was given to starting the 2012/13 Morrison school year earlier in order to finish first semester before Christmas and finish second semester before summer airfares increase. A small group of teachers refined the teacher professional practice rubric so it’s ready for full implementation next school year.
There were 134 responses to the 2010 Admin Standards Professional Practice Survey. Thank you for this feedback! I’ve reviewed your feedback with each administrator. The chart below shows the combined results for all 8 SAC administrators. I was especially pleased to see the 4.23 result for benchmark 2.2: “Is available, considers other people’s opinions and responds in a timely manner.” The skill of listening to each other is vital as we continue to develop healthy professional learning communities.
Respectfully, Tim
