Professional Development 4-15

Thank goodness taxes aren't due today! We are trying to get through this quickly so that Spring Break can BEGIN!  Heather needs caffeine.  Really.

We all had to scramble to get Mr. Deasy's letter out during period six.  Maybe we can voice our concerns about the schizo behavior of the budgetary divas.

Zimmer's great ideas about school deconstruction have been approved. That should take 18 months to gain approval.  He thinks it will be done in 2014.  We think that this should be the Alicia Lindheim Memorial Gymnasium.  And the Terry Cowart Building.

Need to power off all computers and unplug them.  Lock all valuables up or take them home with you.  Take attendance before you leave.  Also lock up all windows and doors.  Read "The Huge Sway of a Teen's Pal" and pair-share your reactions and thoughts.

District wants to take $114 mil from our benefits hold back as well as $60 mil from worker's comp. AND offer us 12 more furlough days for 2011-2012.

Megan is giving CBTL gift cards for turning in surveys - Jacobson, Perez, Barbeau.  She has also given us the CCCI template to use with SDAIE.

  1. I had the pleasure of having Alicia Lindheim for 8th grade history about 12 years ago. I can honestly say she was a wonderful teacher and person who has had made a huge impact on me. I was devastated to hear about her passing away. She is an exemplary for how all teachers should. I was truly lucky to have had her as my teacher.

  2. Alicia is still missed here at Emerson. She was wonderful and I'm sure you are not alone. Her impact was felt all over our city. Thanks for reminding us of such a well-loved colleague.
