5 Minutes of FAME:  APL Weekly Focus:  We will continue our review of the APL strategies.  Overview

1.  Professional Reading: (Walk a While in My Shoes):  Divide up the Chapters.

2.  Remote Learners:  Please make sure you finalize your remote learners and have identified the teachers who will be teaching over zoom to these learners' homes.  We will finalize additional pay for these teachers in the SEA negotiations of the 2020-21 incentive plans.

3.  Payroll:  Payroll needs to be finalized for administrators TODAY.  Please make sure all teaching certificates are on file for your teachers and all transcripts for movement on the salary schedule are on file by September 10th.

4.  Burning Issues:  Top issues in your building that affect others, ie... lunch, temperature checks, transportation, teacher observation/evaluation, afterschool staff recruitment.  Refrigerator magnets are in at UPS.  I will pick them up today and get them to you for distribution in your buildings.

5.  Transportation Update:  Morning and afternoon bus routes.  We currently have 3 buses picking up students at Lonnie's Trailer Court.  I visited with Ron about the number of trips to SMS and what that time looks like for middle school students riding to the trailer court after school.

6.  Gallup Strength's Finder:  Dr. Gibbons is getting codes for new staff to complete the strength's Finder Survey.  Your new staff will need to complete these online.  Dr. Gibbons will provide you with access or a copy of your present and new staff strengths.  Please make sure you work with your staff during PLC's on recognizing these strengths and using them in your programs.

7.  Requisition/Inventory:  We are in the process of archiving the 2020-21 Requisitions/inventory.  You can go in and review inventory assignments as they stand now.  Please make a list of staff in your building who are new or have changed rooms or assignments.  Please bring these changes to SAA on Monday, August 31st.  My goal is to have these moved next week so that your teachers can review and update their inventories after Labor Day.  This is important for insurance, but is now also part of the district audit.

8.  New Hires:  Review of current staff and additional needs.  The board can approve new hires on August 31st and again on September 14th.

9.  Strategic Planning:   Dr. Gibbons will continue to work on our strategic planning dashboard with ECRA. 

10.  Upcoming School Board Meetings:  6:30 PM
     August 31st:  Special Board Meeting and 2020-21 Budget Workshop. 
     September 14th:  Budget Hearing and regular school board meeting.

11.  District Program Meetings: 
We are working on dates and times for our monthy support staff meetings.  These will most likely be on the last Friday of the month via zoom.

12.  Rule 10 Requirements:  (Reminder) Rule 10 building reports are due to the superintendent by September 6th.  You only have to submit the Rule 10 information if you DO NOT meet the requirement.  If you don't meet in an area, you must include the reason.

13.  Board Reports:  Administration reports due for the regular September board meeting (Due the Wednesday prior to the meeting).  The program does not take graphics.  If you want, you can attach additional information.

15. Thoughtexchange:  We will kickoff the 2020-21 school year with the first question addressing highlights for the 2019-20 school year.  Once we finalize the "one good thing" question, we will put it out to all staff.  This year, we will continue the use of this program to include students and parents in our discussions.   We will meet after the SAA meeting to discuss any changes in the committee for this year.

16.  Filemaker Data Portal:  I am in the process of updating staff and approvals in the Data Portal.  I will have administrators in the system this week, and your new staff in the system by Labor Day.  Portal Review.
