CLICK on our WEEKLY CHECKLIST HERE1. From Brittney: Hey Team, You are already starting to feel some of the strain and urgency that comes with these late start students that are being added to your courses daily! While we can’t control the late students being enrolled, we can definitely control our reaction to it so we are going to have a solid plan in place and ready to go. (And remember – there is an end in sight to these late starters). So here is the plan:
Please reach out to your dept. lead or myself if you have any questions with these students! Plan now and save yourself time down the road J 2. Back to School Night: Thursday, Aug. 31st @Sugar House Park (all teachers that live within 90 miles are required to attend this huge event, please talk with Becky if you have questions about this)ALL STUDENTS ARE OUR STUDENTS! Our goal is to make every student realize they are at an incredible school and that they matter here. 3. YESS!!!! Time to refer any non engaged students to our Family Academic Support Team's Extended Strong Start task force. (or... our F.A.S.T E.S.S.... hahaha our acronyms here rock!!) WHO DO I REFER? In a nutsell, anyone you haven't been able to contact or who hasn't logged in are the biggest red flags and should definitely be referred HOW DO I REFER? Click on this link and fill out the ESS survey. 4. Improving Communication with Parents Tip: We are in a virtual school and are challenged with the ability to communicate effectively without eye contact, body language, and actual human presence. I am asking you to read this quick article HERE about improving communication with parents. After you read it, put it into action. Find at least 5 times this week to let a LEARNING COACH know that they matter and that their student is known. Our teamwork synergy with parents is one of most CRITICAL things for our success as a school. Before you send an email, filter it one time through your mind as if you were the parent receiving that type of communication and how you would react. 5. Virtual PD Friday: 9.1.2017 @9am-12am (YES, only ½ day) in http://tinyurl.com/utvaddi REMINDER: (cancel live classes for that day to be present and productive in PD)
