Only about 120 students made AR goals this first quarter with some classes not having any students making their goal. Even though AR has been a part of our school for a long time, we don't want to get complacent in encouraging and providing opportunities for independent reading. I hope to meet with homeroom teachers individually over the course of the month to talk about the first quarter and going forward with success in this and other areas.

The New teacher evaluation system will be moving to an electronic system by the end of the year. I will provide training on this process some time in November. Since time is so limited, the date and time will be determined later. I will send a letter to teachers explaining the process but will host a training as well. More details to come.
Our payroll system is going electronic as well. All employees will be able to print check stubs, W-2's, W-4 (withholding info) as far back as 2006. I will also provide a training on this at a future staff meeting as well (November or early December) At the end of this school year, all check stubs will be electronically delivered (no more deposit stubs).
