SOUTHEAST MIDDLE SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2013
1. All staff members are reminded to fill out your required tax form in Susie's office. This is a requirement by the state and the district. All forms are due by December 20.
2. PTSA Candygrams will be placed in homebase teacher mailboxes on Thursday afternoon. Teachers, please distribute these to your HB students on Friday, December 20.
3. Thanks to our Hospitality Committee for serving a delicious lunch earlier in the week. Also, thanks to our PTSA. They will be serving breakfast for the staff on Friday, December 20.
4. Basketball tryouts will begin in January for our 7th and 8th grade students. Girls tryouts will take place on January 7 and 8, and boys tryouts will be January 9 and 10. The third and final tryout date will be the following Monday, Jan. 13. In order to tryout, students must have a signed intramural form and a complete, valid physical signed by a doctor.
5. Right before the winter break begins, all staff will receive a CHAMPs review sheet in their mailbox. Homebase teachers are expected to review this with their students when we return during the first week of January. This will be a great time for all of us to review the student conduct guidelines, both for our benefit and for our students. It is important that they know that we have a unified front and need to get back on board to start off 2014 right! Homebase teachers will also receive copies of the CHAMPs review to hand out to students in their Wednesday folders.
6. As you leave for the winter break, please remember: 1) Close your blinds, 2) Close and secure your windows, 3) Shut down all technology, 4) Take home any food items, and 5) You may want to take home any plants. There will be no heat in the building for the duration of the break.
7. Please know that the benchmark assessment window for Science and SS will be January 10-17. These tests will be completed during their Sci and SS class periods. Please know that students with required modifications will be pulled to test to meet those requirements. Robin Douglas and Leah Gardner will work out the details of those who need to be pulled out.
8. AG money has arrived for materials to serve our students in the AG LA classrooms. LA teachers: Please discuss possible materials you would like to put on your "wish list" - in January, we will give you an opportunity to put those items on the list for ordering.
9. We will have a staff meeting on Monday, January 6. Topics include: CHAMPs review, SSC meetings, EVAAS ratings in teacher evaluations, PTSA fundraiser, and professional development offering on differentiated instruction.
10. The end of the second quarter is January 17. Quarter grades will be due by Tuesday, January 21, at 3pm. Report cards will be distributed on Wednesday, January 29.
