At 3:30 on Monday we will recognize the passing of our colleague, Wendy Hotrum, in the center courtyard. Julie has had contact with her family and members will be present. There will a gathering at Brewsters after the ceremony. Wendy was a 6th grade science teacher who passed away last November from cancer
EdPerformance testing got screwed up slightly last week because of staff illness. I am attaching a new updated plan to finish testing baring everyone being healthy through the
Dr. Rice has assigned an administrative coach to work with secondary principals. Mr. Durso will visit with me on Tuesday. We will likely do a walk-through of the school during his visit.
We are scheduled for a site visit with the federal evaluators on Monday, November 30, from 7:30 - 12:00. We have to turn in lesson plans for this visit in by Monday, November 23 so central office can format materials for the visit. So next week I'll need everyone's lesson plan for at minimum three days (2 days the week of the 23rd and the plan for Monday the 30th) or just give me plans for both weeks in full. The plan must be in the template Tamela provided everyone at the beginning of the year.
Paul Murray will be joining us in 8th grade math this week. He will take over for Jennifer Pinckney who will start her maternity leave on Wednesday.
An FYI - there is a link on the Milwood website to get a copy of the metro schedule for this area. You access it from the parents tab.

The parent conference attendance data is compiled -- we saw 434 of 676 parents for an attendance rate of 64%. Our rate was 57% for minority parents and 76% for non-minority parents. While this might seem low it represents the best data we have had at Milwood in recent years. A thank-you to everyone for this effort. Notable turn outs Hayes 89%, Young 87%, Oles 85%, Rocco 82%, Pauken 82%.
EdPerformance testing continues this week with 6/7 team Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Team 7 test on Thursday and Friday. Please be sure that students know what testing group they are in and when to report to testing. This would be the role of the advisory teacher. We are not starting the morning testing sessions until after advisory at 8:00, first hour. Maria McCarty provided directions to everyone on attendance records during this time.
Wednesday we are scheduled for department meetings. Again, core area will meet in room 415 as we continue discussion of curriculum in the context of the magnet plan. Other departments will meet with their departments in district conversations at the designated district locations. Again be sure to sign-in as all sessions are monitored for attendance.
I have heard from 6-7 staff who say they will play in the basketball game Friday night. We will play with the Maple St. teachers against the Parkwood teachers. There is still room on the roster.
We have a KAMSC parent meeting scheduled for Tuesday night, please promote this event especially in your advanced classes. While it affects 8th graders immediately, it wouldn't be bad information for 6th and 7th grade parents to get exposed to.
