• Grading Guidelines: Everyone should have at minimum two grades posted in their gradebook. Parent phone calls need to take place for students who are having attendance issues, academic issues, or behavioral issues.
• Importance of Student Attendance--As we know, consistent student attendance is crucial for academic success. I want to emphasize the importance of following up with families for students who are struggling to attend regularly. To support you in this effort, I will conduct a third attendance check for each of you and share individual attendance rates by 3rd period. This will help us identify students who may need additional support.

Department meetings will be held the following weeks during your assigned day from 8:15-8:45 am. Thank you for your leadership!

A few quick updates:

1. Cell Phones: We must be consistent with our cell phone policy. Please help students understand that passing periods and lunch are the only times they may access their cell phones. Your support in reinforcing this will be crucial.

2. Dress Code: Please take time to review the dress code with your students in class. It's important that we all reinforce these expectations consistently.

3. Clear Backpack Policy: Just a reminder that we must continue to follow the clear backpack policy. Please ensure this is communicated and upheld in your classrooms.

4. Organization/Athletic Bags: Coaches and sponsors must make arrangements with students to secure bags. Athletic or organizational backpacks are not allowed for instructional needs.

5. Securely Hall Pass: Please ensure that the system is being used in all classes.

Tardy Captures:

- Purpose: To ensure students arrive to class on time.

- Guidelines:

- First 15 and Last 15 Minutes of Class: No passes allowed during these times, except in situations that teacher determines that a pass is needed for extenuating circumstance.

- Consequence for Tardiness: If a student is late, they will be assigned an hour of After School Detention with Mrs. Harris in ISSC. Teachers will e-mail the names to Mrs. Harris.

Please be consistent with the use of this system. I will be running reports to monitor student hall pass frequency. I will also monitor teacher access. If you are having technical issues, please let us know.
