Teacher Evaluations:  I will be starting teacher evaluations next week.  My goal is to have them all completed by the end of April.  The Evaluation and Supervision program is detailed in this document.   The form used for documenting evaluation is titled SSIS Faculty Annual Evaluation Form.  I’ll be sending each of you your own form.  For those who have completed their first contract year, I will also be asking which area you want your evaluation to focus on – based on that, we will plan out your eval process.  For those in your first contract year, we will be using all areas and include a traditional observation in the process.  I’m looking forward to the process – it’s such a great opportunity to talk about practice!

2018-19 Dates:  First date back to work for faculty members is July 31.  First day back for middle school leadership team members is one day earlier, July 30.  Please keep this in mind when booking your summer travel.

New Student Teachers:  Please help welcome 3 student teachers who are joining the High School.  Ms Gao Qun, Ms Wu Yuting and Ms Wang Yun, studying Chinese as a Foreign Language at the University Hong Kong, will do their 5 weeks field experience with the Modern World Language department from Feb. 21 through Mar 23.
