Return to Campus
We have no additional information about ES students returning to campus, but we wanted to let you know that we will start the transition back to campus once we get word that ES students can return. Sometimes there is short notice. Please start to mentally prepare for the possibility of a potential quick pivot. We know that you will need time for classroom set up and hybrid training, and we will be able to give you some time for that.
TA Evaluations
TAs will evaluate their own performance once this semester and then meet with their homeroom teacher and EAL teachers to discuss their self-evaluation. Homeroom and EAL teachers will complete the TA evaluation in the spring. Here is a link to a document that describes this process in more detail and has a timeline for this school year.
Spirit Week - Please advertise to your students
We don’t have crew colors so you could let your students know to wear school colors or a school t-shirt if they have one on Tuesday (or decide as a class).
