Important - Schedules

Part of our state/district safety plan is that accurate schedules are posted outside of each door by October 1st.  Please make sure your schedule is accurate (including your recess time) and is posted outside of your door.  This is crucial information if we were to have an emergency situation.  Please remember:  Recess should be 15 minutes a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Student Assemblies this Week (8:30-8:55)

We will have our first student assemblies for the year this week.  They will be from 8:30-9:00 in the North Gym.  Please bring your class to the gym when you are called.

Faculty Meeting on Thursday

Bring a drink.  We will have treats provided by our PTO!  We will go over several important updates.  We will also discuss lunchroom procedural improvements.


PowerSchool PD

PowerSchool PD is replacing Chalkable PD.  You should have received an email titled: Welcome to ALSDE Professional Learning.  It would have come from noreply@truenorthlogic.com.  All staff should click on the link and follow instructions to receive their user name and password.  It is very important that all staff members complete the login process as stated in the email.  More information will follow on how to navigate PowerSchool Professional Learning.


Precept Teams

The primary goal of our Precept Teams this year is to serve as Learning Communities and share your knowledge with the rest of the faculty.  Please remember, these are things we are already doing.  Our teams will develop their expertise and share with everyone else so we will continue to enhance what we are already doing in these areas.  It is likely that these teams will be in place for two years so we can pace ourselves accordingly.  We have incredible teams in place that are going to drive continuous improvement in our great school!
