SIP – Schools are required to revise their School Improvement Plans for 2011-2012. Our revised plan has been placed on the Staff Shared Folder. We will vote on our plan on Monday, October 10th. The ballot box will be set up in the media center from 7:30 until 3:00. All staff members should vote. If you vote against the plan, you will be asked to provide a reason. Last year one person voted against the plan. After our plan is approved, we will post it on our school’s website. Our revised reading goals are attached to this document.
Specials Schedule – Guidance will be removed from the Specials schedule beginning the week of October 31st. We will no longer have an “A” Week/”B” Week schedule.
