Please consider joining a mini-curricular team. Professional staff may sign up for more than one committee. This year, we are offering 7.5 hours outside of the workday or attending curriculum planning days during the regular school day. Hope that you consider joining one of the teams! Dates are to be determined and established by the administrative or advisory chairperson. Act 48 hours or hours toward an exchange day will be tallied at the end of the school year.
Responsibilities of membership include the following:
Attend each meeting
Provide input
Write curriculum
Act as liaison to other staff members
Note, if you’d like to attend some of the meetings, but can’t commit to attending all of them, you’re welcome to do so. Please email the Administrative Chair of the Department expressing your interest. You will NOT sign-up via Frontline as this is for those committing to every meeting.
*Based upon department head extra duty responsibilities, each department head is automatically a member of his/her respective curriculum committee and should not sign up.*
