I hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful weekend. It's already second term! Have an excellent week.
Faculty Meeting
We will meet in the cafeteria after school for our monthly Art and Science of Teaching faculty meeting. I apologize for not getting the PowerPoint to you any earlier; I will remedy this for next time.
Parent Conferences
I published the link for parent conferences on Friday. Our consistently high conferences numbers are a point of pride of Hixson Middle School. Please remember, that during conference "season", conversations by phone, comprehensive updates via e-mail, team and other meetings meet the standard for having held a parent conference. Click here for the link to the conference scheduler.
Thinking Strategy for October
All students can benefit from asking questins before, during, and after their reading. Questions help clarify ambiguity and deepen understanding. Although the update in the Quick PD section is mainly focused on instruction for Discovery, all students can benefit from asking quality questions in any subject area. Please take some time to read this update and consider how you will implement this in your teaching.
Out of the Building
It is always difficult to be out of the building, and although I will be out of the building on Wednesday (for Yom Kippur) and Thursday most of the day (for professional development), I do not have the same number of out-of-building commitments this year as I did last year.
