Parent visitation day is today.
Did you know that this week is International Education Week?
Are you doing anything to celebrate? If you need some inspiration, try VIF's toolkit.
If you are doing something this week, let us know. We'd love to come and be a part of it.
In honor of this week, we are posting International Idioms on the blog everyday. Not international idiots, idioms.

All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus). We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations. It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.
SMOD Tickets (dress code violations) are located in the workroom. Please keep the bottom portion for your own records as a way to keep track of the number of violations. The continuum is as follows:
1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed. Parent or guardian notified of violation
2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.
(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).
