1.  Book Review:   "Tribes"  Pages  96-108. 

2.  Strategic Planning Update:  Review recommendations for 2018 action plans.  Please take the area you were responsible for and set up a time to formalize your recommendations.  If there is an area that involves your staff/building, please make sure you contact the administrator responsible for making completing the action plans for submission for board approval.  Action plan recommendations must be finalized prior to the end of the semester.

3. 2018-19 Calendar:  I have a meeting set with SEA on December 15th to review their calendar recommendations for the 2018-19 school year. 

4.  First Semester Teacher Evaluations:  All probationary teachers must have a formal observation (entire class) completed during the first semester.  Please make sure you have these completed  and submitted prior to Christmas break.  Also, if you have any teachers who you are putting on an improvement plan, this needs to be completed ASAP.  Make sure the improvement plan includes documentation, that if completed, provides you the documentation and confidence in extending their contract for the 2018-19 school year.
