Important Information

Welcome Back

Happy  New Year.  I hope all of you were able to find some time to rest and enjoy the holidays.  May your new year be filled with joy and good health.


Chromebooks

We are starting a new process for students that do not have Chromebooks.

Students that are waiting for their Chromebook to be repaired will need to go to Mr. Cramer's room each morning and sign out a Chromebook.  They will return it to him at the end of the day.  This way we can make students receive a Chromebook.

Students that did not bring a Chromebook or did not have it charged will go to the cafeteria in the morning to sign out a Chromebook with Kellie Zabivnik.  At the end of the day, students that needed to sign out a Chromebook will return them to the ADP room with Nick Stankus.  

This process will help us monitor who is borrowing the Chromebooks and monitor any damage done to them.

Students that need to borrow a Chromebook from the cafeteria will receive lunch detentions.  This will increase to after school detentions if particular students are consistently borrowing Chromebooks.


Phones

Please make sure students are keeping their phones in their lockers.  If you catch a student with a phone, issue a consequence.  We will discuss this in PLCs.


Hall Passes

Please make sure you are giving students a pass anytime they leave the room.  This includes going to the nurse.


Gradebooks

Reminder, 70% of a student's grade should be based on assessment.  Cut the fluff.   

You should have at least one assessment grade per week in your gradebook.

This will be discussed further in PLCs


Instruction

The best part of my job is getting into classrooms and watching instruction take place.  We have  outstanding educators at EMS.  Keep up the good work.  

Do not be afraid to try something new!
