Committees: Action teams (committees) will meet tomorrow. Please remember to share your notes so we all can see the great things going on at Bullock. Please use the provided action team template and review the projects you have planned and their status. Please do celebrate successes and let us all know.
Arbor Day: Arbor Day is April 29th at 1:00pm. Thank you Ms. Lloyd for your hard work in planning this event. Thank you also to the entire staff for chipping-in to make this such a special day.
Gail's retirement: Gail's last day at Bullock will be this Friday, April 29th. :( We will have a retirement party celebrating Gail and this new journey in her life at 3:00 on Friday, April 29th in the Depot.
Ms. Dickens: Melissa Dickens will be joining us starting on May 2nd as our bookkeeper. Ms. Dickens has been working closely with Gail over the past few days to learn the ropes. Please give Melissa a warm Bullock welcome.
Paper supply is low: Just a reminder to be conservative.
Summer Achievement Academy (SAA): If you applied to the summer achievement program, Ms. Kennedy is working on preparing your contract. We are still awaiting clarification on the number of TAs we will have in the program. We have determined the schedule for the program and will be having a meeting to discuss details on May 2nd at 3:30 immediately following our brief staff meeting in regards to creating class rosters on May 2nd.
Summative reviews and PDPs: The summative and PDP schedule has been shared via email. Please let me know if you need to change the scheduled time. Please remember to complete your PDP EOY review prior to our meeting. I know these processes take your precious time. Thank you for your investment of time.
Instructional Assistant Evaluations: Teachers who have an instructional assistant, please complete the teacher's assistant evaluation form by April 29th, 2016. Please download the form, complete digitally and email to me. Please set a meeting to review the evaluation using the scheduling app starting May 9th.
EVAAS verification: The teacher verification window is April 23-May 20. More information to come.
Silence in car pool: Please make sure to remain silent while moving through the area where our car riders are waiting for their cars. It is hard to keep the students quiet if the adults are talking. Thanks for your help with this matter.
Absences: Please remember to notify Gail?Melissa, Wendy and I if you will be out. We are having a very difficult time getting subs as of late. We must know who is out to ensure there is adequate coverage for classrooms as the students arrive.
Sub apologies: We have had a run of bad luck with subs not picking-up jobs. It has resulted in needing the "borrow" TAs our regular basis. I am sorry that has happened on a consistent basis. We will work to remedy the situation, but in the interim thank you for remaining flexible, positive and supportive or one another. We so appreciate that.
Master calendar (draft): A draft of the master calendar for next year is ready. The calendar can be accessed here. Please review and let me know of any conflicts or concerns. There a couple missing events--spring pictures, CUOC, symphony and field trips-- that we will be adding before we finalize the calendar for the year. Thank you to the team members that stayed late to proactively prepare for next year.
PTO...reminder: Please continue to encourage your students' family and friends to volunteer at the PTO Thrift Shop. We are over 150 hours. That means we will receive our PTO money. WooHoo! The more we work the more $$ we earn.
Administrative Professionals week: Please let of our office staff know how much you appreciate all that they do.
