Goal for 19-20-

You set a goal at the end of last year for this school year if you had a final evaluation meeting with Craig and I. We will meet with you soon to make sure the goal is unchanged. Please put this in a google doc. and share it with us when we set up an appointment with you.

MESSA Insurance Sheet-

Don't forget the October 31st deadline for open enrollment with insurance. This was the email sent out by Kathleen on Oct. 1st. Remember also that MESSA is requiring online enrollment. We have an envelope in the office for the completed forms that need to be returned to Central.

Retirement Workshop at the RESA-

Please see the updated email from Sue Patzer on the retirement workshop for new, middle, and near the end of your career workshops in figuring out the new law, what your pension can look like, insurance, etc. The updated email came out on Wednesday afternoon. They are only having so many open spots so signup soon.

8th grade field trips around the corner-

On October 22nd (MacKellar and Milletics 8th grade classes) and October 25th (Francis and Foster 8th grade classes) will be heading to the fish hatchery and water plant to kickoff their salmon in the classroom project.

Confirmed Parent Contact-

If you have a student with a "F" in your class you must make confirmed contact with the parent of the student. A confirmed contact can be a face-to-face meeting, a phone call, or a email that the parent responded back to you on. We as a staff believe that this is how we do business.

On the flip side, how many positive emails, phone calls, etc. have you made this school year? Choose 5 students a week (one a day) and give it a whirl. It will make the student, parent, and you all feel great. A win-win-win all around!

Come on now!!!!! -
We are not contacting students on itsLearning for GO time. We are relying on the email system that we discussed at our meeting. This will only confuse the students and they will go to the wrong places.

Reminder: 8th grade orchestra and Uptones gone next week-

8th grade orchestra will be out 2nd hour this Tuesday (per Rachel's email) and the Uptones will be gone 5th and 6th hours on Thursday next week (per an email I forwarded). These students know they are responsible for their missed work.

Board of Education Meeting-

We have a board of education meeting at Central Office on Monday, October 14th at 6:00 PM.

Count Signatures? -

Are you up to date on signing the count day sheets with Grace? If not, please come down today and sign them.

Finding a Student ID #-

The most simple way (Per Matt Maier's idea at our tech meeting) to discover who a student ID (when just given a student ID) is to take that ID and put it in the "To" box in an email and the student's name pops up.
