Attendance: Please know that our school received recognition for solid attendance for Classified (100% in excellent band), but highlighted that 55% of our Classified Staff are in the Excellent band. We were once again one of the lowest. Immediately after the meeting, HR contacted me for a mandatory meeting this Friday. Many Classified have not had more than 10 absences, and are only in that Chronic band because of 6-9 absences. Please be mindful that our school is being closely monitored for all employees who have repeated (2 years in a row) low attendance (lower than 96%). More information to come. Your attendance % (located on your paystub). We will discuss it more at our meeting on Tuesday.

Tardies: We have noticed an uptick in tardies. Please make sure that you are calling the office immediately, if you know you are running late.

Twenty is Plenty: Please view the slide deck for our Twenty is Plenty Campaign. I’ve included talking points in the NOTES section. And, I have recorded the purpose of the campaign. Feel free to turn the volume down, or off, so you can walk through the slide deck. My recommendation is to have the slide deck on PRESENT MODE, so you can go slide to slide. This is only to provide context of what can be done during this time with parents. I trust your ability to modify based on your grade level, and your own personal suggestions. To edit, please make a copy of the slides using this link: LINK
