Clarification about card marking, Teachers don't grade Advisory and Connections classes are currently graded with credit/no credit. We will take up the topic of grading connections for the next marking period, at our school improvement meeting on Monday, November 27.

I had an e-mail from a Delton parent complimenting our 7th graders on their conduct and sportsmanship during the scrimmage Thursday afternoon.

We'll do our weekly drawing on Wednesday during our abbreviated advisory period.

We welcome Jo Johnson and Katharine Suttles who will team teach in Pam Souter's English class through the holiday break. Pam's doctor has extended her leave through to January.

If you didn't see Molly's letter - she'll be out until after Holiday Break on a medical leave. Ryland will take over leadership for after school program until then.

I will be meeting with the NDK providers, Monday, to determine our continued participation in the NDK process as a school.

Apparently our Gazette article is pushed back to be included in the Gazette's special on promise week activities in December, we'll see.

I will overview the walk-through training that district administrators will be trained in at staff meeting on Monday afternoon. We'll have 20 or so administrators visiting classroom on Tuesday morning.

A reminder that we are closing in our United Way campaign. All pledges must be turned in by Monday, November 20. We will draw for a "dinner out" certificate for those who turn their pledges in on time at KEA on the 20th.

Tuesday, we will have a team of staff attending the KAMSC application workshop. We want our school to be able to provide help to students who are capable, so they have a chance to get in.

The staff team from KRESA that reviewed our implementation of PBS last week found a high degree of understanding among staff and students regarding our PBS implementation. It also appeared that teacher did a nice job of communicating the changes in the Student Center last week. Operations in that area were improved.

We will be without the services of an assistant principal on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Vickie and Carol had previous arrangements.

We are in the process of planning for the remodel of the library. This will involve the demolition of our current book room. I want all teachers to be aware that we'll have to relocate book room materials at some point or make decisions to toss dated curriculum material. Jan will post some drawing of the media center reconfiguration.
