November 12, 2017

We are in the final stretch of our last full week before getting a well deserved break (and hopefully restful) next week for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Here are a handful of things for the coming week:

Lab School
There will be two groups of principals visiting our building tomorrow.  Every other month, I meet with a group of new principals as part of a development program from DESE.  This month, we are learning how to provide feedback to teachers through the evaluation process so principals can become better instructional coaches.  They are visiting four classrooms tomorrow and learning how to effectively provide instructional feedback.  You will see them walking around in the building and the bulk of their meeting and learning time will be in the library classroom.

Classroom Social Media
Please be mindful of promoting social media use with students in your classroom.  Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and many other social media platforms require users to be 13 years of age and older.  Sometimes, students use these social media platforms to do harm rather than use it for good. 

Webster Holiday House Tour
Team leaders will be talking with folks about volunteering to host during the holiday tour.  The 26th annual Webster Holiday House Tour will be on Sunday, December 3rd.

Equity Meeting
The district Equity committee will be meeting on Tuesday, November 14th at 5:30pm in the library at the High School.

Out This Week
Todd, Aimee and I will be out this Thursday for a DLT meeting.  We should all be back by noon. 

Aimee will be out this Friday for the NCTE Conference.

As always, we will have our phones with us if you need anything, please don't hesitate to text or call.

Have a great week everyone.

With Gratitude,
Grace
