Okay, time for an update...
This was a busy week. On Tuesday we held our Instructional Study Team (IST) meetings. This is a time for us to "circle the wagons" on students with which we are having concerns. We held 8 meetings and had our psychologist, parents and teachers as well as myself come together. During these meetings, we look at what issues the student is having and try to develop a plan to help that child succeed.
Wednesday I went to visit Pinecrest and conducted a couple teacher observations. Wednesday evening was the county spelling bee. We were represented by Mia and Lizzy from Twain Harte and Mariah from Pinecrest in the 7th grade and Leah, Randy and Camilla in the 8th. All of our students performed well, and extra recognition goes to Camilla who placed 5th and Mariah who placed 3rd. Nice work Spellers!
Thursday morning the Tuolumne County Association of California School Administrators hosted their annual "Every Student Succeeds" awards breakfast at the Elks Lodge. Randy Hart was our nominee. Randy has overcome a difficult situation at home and is truly a leader at our school. He is one of the nicest young men you will ever meet.
After the breakfast, I dashed up to Dodge to help chaperone our ski trip. The conditions were great and the kids all did a great job. I then had to come down early from the ski trip for our School Site Council meeting.
Friday night we had our third dance of the year. A lot of the kids were pretty wiped out from a combination of the ski trip the day before, and coming down from the sugar rush from all the Valentine's cookies, candies and cupcakes!
It's hard to believe this was only a four day week! I'm glad I have three days to recover!
