At Wednesday's, February 16th faculty mtg, will focus on four areas that link closely together as part of our school's long term vision. As you are aware, our school's Academic/Financial plan contains all four elements in providing our overall road map for accountability. Four topics are:
1st) Smaller Learning Communities...... updates in our work on the 9th grade HUIs and the Mini - mags;
2nd) Draft Bell Schedule for SY 2012-13......based on the departments mtg feedback/questions will determine our next steps;
3rd) SY 2011-12 Master Schedule draft.....we will discuss what staffing lines may be in place for SY 2011-12; and
4th) SY 2011-12 staffing projections
Attached below is the breakdown of the instructional minutes per our current, proposed bell schedule and SLC updates Asking that everyone review and discus at your department mtgs this week.
As shared earlier, last week the State Board of Education approved School Year 2011-12 calendar. Attaching Superintendent Matayoshi's memo and approved calendar. 2011-2012 Official School Calendar Memo>>>
Finally, a friendly reminder that all staff must report and sign in on time. Certainly understandable as there are unforeseen situations but quite concerned when this becomes a pattern. This also includes excessive absences as well. As professionals, we must be positive role models and please note that administration will require a meeting and documentation.
Principal @SLC Consortium Mtg: I will be off campus Monday, Feb. 14th attending the Smaller Learning Consortium meeting. Both Diane Ayre and Todd Harrison are in charge.
PACT: Reminder to utilize your afternoon collaboration time fully this week as topics need to be addressed to determine our school's next steps.
Faculty Meeting: The next faculty mtg will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 16th in the Library. Agenda discussions will focus on the proposed bell schedule for SY 2012-13, SY 2011-12 master schedule and staffing, and Smaller Learning Community updates. You'll also get to meet our new PCNC Nancy Boreliz at that time.
Kauai District Science Fair: Hope that you are able to drop in to support Kauai's students whose science projects will be displayed at the Convention Hall in Lihue on Friday, Feb. 18th. Visitation for the public Begins around 4:00 p.m. and the awards ceremony @6:00 p.m.
