We will meet in room 415 for our staff meeting Monday afternoon. The focus of the meeting will be a conversation regarding magnet school development and curriculum planning.

It is extremely important that all students receive the advisory curriculum during the next 8 weeks. We can't assess impact if some students aren't getting the information. I will make it a priority to visit as many classes as possible during this time to assess how students are receiving this message and supporting the work.

We have a family night coming up on Thursday January 24, at Galilee Baptist Church. Diane will pass a sign-up around at our staff meeting. We'll need as much help as possible. This will be a dinner and a career night that we are the hosts for.

We are having a problem with lunch trays not returning to the cafeteria. Some students are eating lunch with teachers and are then disposing of their lunch trays in the hall garbage containers. Ms. Harris has ordered new trays but we have to solve the problem. See Barbara if you have ideas or need help with extra containers in your room.

Here is the data we have been tracking on tardiness prior to and since we began hall sweeping.
