We started in the library with Mr. Watson thanking everyone for attending the period by period faculty meetings.
Ms. Farhamand announced that there would be a meeting for eighth graders the Thursday after the break. Also, Ms. Shanley's students will have a special meeting this Thursday.
We then worked in smaller groups on the charter.

PD on Charter Writing
We met in the library after our charter meeting with Michelle Bennett.
Our agenda consisted of Michelle Bennett debrief
Timeline update
Announcement letter
Work groups
Michelle Bennett has recommended an outside writer. We then discussed the meeting with Michelle Bennett and what people took away from that meeting. Ideas mentioned included doing something we are passionate about, improving communication with feeders and parents, clarity and transparency in the process, keeping in mind our dream school, parent role, freedoms in the charter and accountability.
We then looked over Mr. Watson's letter to the community and started looking at Academies. Mr. Watson suggested PLE and SLCs with four different academies.
