Attendance: Our attendance around the recent holiday breaks has been lower (low 80%s) than usual and is well below our goal of 90%. Advisors, please check with Belia for the most current information on students, and call advisees who have been absent repeatedly. We need to make every effort to improve our attendance as it has trended downward since October.
Discipline systems: On Feb. 28, Jen and Dorothy visited the Bronx Academy of Letters and the UA School for Law and Justice to look at alternative disciplinary systems. They will be working with Des and Nate to create a proposal for improving our current disciplinary system and staffing for next year. This proposal will be discussed at cabinet and then with the whole staff. We will also provide an open time for staff input and discussion as the proposal is developed.
12th Grade Advisories: Presenter from the Wood-Tobe Coburn School will be conducting another workshop on Time Management Skills on Friday 3/16 during 9th period. Wood-Tobe is willing to conduct six more workshops for our seniors over the course of the semester free of charge. Every workshop is geared toward preparing our seniors for the rigors of college.
School Quality Review on March 20-21: Please know that this visit is an important part of our "report card" for next year. Nate, Jen, Murray and Melissa are working on our "self-evaluation" which will be distributed and discussed with the staff before the SQR.
Special Education: Please let Marybelle know if you would like to be invovled in an annual review for a particular student. The following is a review of terminology.
SETSS - Special Education Teacher Support Services = resource room
CTT - Collaborative Team Teaching = 2 teachers in the room
12:1:1 - Self-contained Special Education Class with a para in room
15:1 - Self-contained Special Education Class no para needed
1:1 Para - A student who has a para with them in all major class - not electives
