You made it through the first week, and now, welcome to week
2. By now, you should have established rules and routines in the
classroom, gotten to know your students, and are familiar with student
accommodations. By this week, everyone should be diving into the
curriculum if you have not done so already.
This is also a busy week and includes important due dates. Here are the highlights:
Tuesday – Picture Day.
An estimated schedule will be sent out from Karen. Please wait for someone
to come get your class.
Wednesday – First Wednesday Mass. Please remember that the class hosting the
Mass should attend the start of Adoration and stay for 5-10 min. When done, exit quietly through the doors of
the chapel and walk around the church. If
K-2 would like to attend at any time, they are welcome.
Thursday – Back-to-School night. I will reply to everyone who has sent me their
materials by tomorrow morning.
Friday – Faith Development Plan is due from everyone, and the Professional Growth Plan is due from all teachers. There is also an assembly for students in grades 2-8. Check the calendar for your time.
The Faculty Meeting on Tuesday will only be for those on the Data Team. Mary will send the details.
Finally, here is what I learned at my Administrator's Meeting on Friday:
- They are discontinuing the John Hopkins School Culture Survey. Yay!!! I'm not sure what they will replace it with, but that was good news. Evidently I was not the only one to find the data useless.
- The superintendent's plan for Mass at Tropicana Field is that ALL Catholic school students in grades 3-12, faculty, and staff will attend Mass at 10 am on the Wednesday of Catholic Schools Week. Parents would not be invited as there would not be enough room. If you have any questions about this, please see me.
- I spoke with Dr. Majeski about this food in schools nonsense, and he is going to ask our lawyers about it.
Have a wonderful week, and remember, if it takes more than two sentences to answer an email, pick up the phone.
