Welcome back and for a our new people, welcome to King!  This week, I want to just thank everyone for your work and your continued commitment to our students and one another.  We have a few new people that will join us soon, please take time to introduce yourself and welcome them to our school.

Grades Are Due

Please remember that grades are due in Infinite Campus by Friday, January 10th @ 4PM.  I will run a report the next day for missing grades.  Please be sure you are diligent in checking the accuracy and inclusion of all grades for every student as this is part of your professional responsibilities in Domain 4 of the evaluation framework.  Please be sure to print your report cards by end of the day January 14th, they go home with students January 21st.

Professional Learning Communities

We do have PLC tomorrow, the focus is on results from learning checks the last week of break.  Be sure to complete all sections of the PLC protocol as appropriate.  Minutes are due to Lisa by 9AM Wednesday morning, complete with work samples (high, med, low).

We will not have faculty meeting January 7th, but team leaders do have a meeting after school January 8th.

Have a great week!  Please take time to intentionally RE-TEACH expectations for learning and behavior.
