Week 2: August 31st-September 4th

 Bullock Brief

  • For folks who are new to Bullock....the Bullock Brief is published weekly and archived in this Google Blog.  The information in the brief is pertinent to our day to day business.  It is a requirement to read the brief no later than Monday by noon. 
  •  I am working to get you the Bullock Brief on Friday afternoon.  I missed the mark this week.  Sorry team.  I will be working toward that for next week.
  • What a great first week!  I saw folks taking such pride in their classrooms, loving our students, problem solving complex situations, infusing the habits into instruction, synergy, and so much more.  Living our mission, “To love. To learn. To lead.” From day 1.  This is going to be an amazing year.  Well done team!

All AVID team members (4th and 5th) should be working to set-up their notebooks.  Please see your site team leadsCharlene Schlott and Katherine Gillettewith questions.

AVID BOY assessment for organization:  August 31st thru September 4th

AVID goals should be set by September 4th



  •  IMPORTANT Data notebooks:  Our classroom data lead, Scott Hurdt, will be distributing information about data notebooks on Monday during our staff meeting.  He will also be providing information on how to set-up your data notebooks so that the process is consistent and not overwhelming.  He has reviewed and consolidated the information that you’ll need for your data notebooks.  Thank Scott and the AVID team.  So hold tight on getting those notebooks set-up.  We will do it together. 
  • Open House Sign-In:  Please make sure the office has a copy of your Open House sign-in no later than Wednesday of this week. 
  • Fire Marshal Report:  The following items were listed in the most recent fire marshal report.  Please address the issues noted below so we remain compliant with fire code.
    • Remove all metal door kicks, wooden wedges, or other obstructions holding open any self closing doors throughout the building.
    • Remove combustibles hanging from the ceilings, light fixtures, pipes and beams in classrooms throughout the building. 
  • Need your feedback: Please add your thoughts (Plus/Delta) about the beginning of the year events at Bullock at  https://goo.gl/4zYhzm.
  •  Safety:  Please do not prop open the outside doors.  Please also remind students that doors cannot be propped open.  Please also remind students not to open the front doors for visitors.  They need to be checked-in through the front office.
  • Warren Williams joining PLCs: Two teachers from Warren Williams will be joining our PLCs on Wednesday so they can stay on pace with grade levels in the county and hear/share creative ideas.  Please give them a warm Bullock welcome. 
  • Y Learning:  You will be asked to submit the names of students who would benefit from FREE after-school tutoring by September 14th.  Start collecting the names of those students.  More information to come.   The program will start on September 28th
  •  Mops in the Dining Hall:  Mops will no longer be available to students in the Dining Hall.  If there is a spill, students should ask a custodial team member. 
  • Environment:  Please remind students that they should be at least one block from the wall at all times and checking those 4-Hs.  Our students are leaning on our Dining Hall walls which will eventually hurt the beautiful art work.  L  Could you assign a conscience student to be the PRIDE leader to help keep the school beautiful?  Perhaps the students could define the role and how they can lead in that capacity.  
  • Instruction:  Please refer to the instructional non-negotiables shared at the Opening Meeting and placed in our handbook at https://goo.gl/hQ3bTe.  Please make sure your upcoming plans (starting no later than September 8th) include the elements noted.  
  • School Social Worker:  Our school social worker, Kim Richardson, will be at Bullock on Monday and Tuesday each week.  You can contact Kim at krichardson@lee.k12.nc.us
