Staff Bulletin for the Week of December 1

 The Bell Remains Here! 

`To celebrate, we will have our rally on Monday. Please follow the schedule listed here.




I will be making a Blackboard connect call on Sunday evening to let students know the schedule.  I appreciate everyone's cooperation in advance.  I know Mondays after a long weekend can be challenging enough without an altered schedule and a major rally, but we wanted to provide this opportunity for our students who have worked hard practicing and preparing for this event.

Please note that all of the previous reminders about pep rally still apply.  See previous post.

This Wednesday we will have advisory.  Please remind your students, especially those with late arrival, that we will have a revised schedule for Wednesday.

Wednesday meeting

This Wednesday is an Instructional Data Team meeting.  Most teams will be working on creating their units of instruction.  Thank you to everyone who has submitted their data.  Our School Leadership Team will be providing an update about how many units have been completed by department as well as individual feedback to data teams.

Guidance data teams will be working on planning their small groups and producing recruitment material.

Next Wednesday we are scheduled to have a faculty meeting.  I'm looking for a department who'd be willing to host the "staff chat" in the library.  Please let me know if your department is interested.  At 2:00pm, the American Diabetes Association will be educating our staff about the signs and symptoms of hypo and hypergylcemia so that we can better support our students with diabetes in our school.

 BE Events to Support Our Students/20 Days of Kindness

December 1st:  Give someone a compliment
December 2nd:  High Five Day
December 3rd:  Make snowflakes with messages of hope in advisory
December 4th:  Hug someone today
December 5th:  Make amends with someone

Reminders and Due Dates:

ASVAB Results:  Based on requests through Governance Council, students' results will be reviewed during last block on December 9th so they will not be missing the same class period as the period on which they took the test.  Mr. Hochman is going to be developing a survey to assess students' response to the test and the impact of the results on planning for their future.  It will be interesting to see!

Student of the Month:   Do not miss this opportunity to recognize those students who have demonstrated our core expectations around responsibility and respect.  Please be sure to enter your nominations here for student of the month:  https://docs.google.com/a/bristolk12.org/forms/d/1-i7HpozrADx3bkvDKSwqJFWqgK3IbpFKIxU7sxcYM_0/viewform
