Mary sent out revised plans for advisory lessons last week. I want to remind everyone that from time to time we will make adjustments in the plan for advisory because of topics or issues that come up. Your flexibility is appreciated.

Patricia Chalmers sent us information on the TLS innovative grants program. Her department will award $21,000 in innovative grants this year. No one grant will exceed more than $3,000. If your team has an idea they would like to pursue, please let me know. We probably can only submit one grant from our building.

I will place literacy surveys in teachers boxes, primarily 6th grade. They are for a student in your advisory or 1st period. It means that they participated in a summer program and the grant that funded the program has to have feedback on two questions on the survey. Please have the student in your class complete the survey and put them in my mailbox. They should take one minute to complete. I have to have them all back by end of school Tuesday.

There were a few teachers that indicated they were interested in the web page training. It will be this Thursday after school, in the library. If you are interested anyone may join us.

The building team will meet with individual teams on Monday to overview the building team process and the teams role in this process. Meetings will take place in room 807.

A reminder, windows need to be closed a the end of the day. Custodians should check but it helps if staff have a routine to close them. There were a number of windows open over the week end. There is no security in a classroom, we only have motion detectors in hallways.
