Updates from the SBLT (Site-based Leadership Team)

In an effort to make sure that all staff are kept informed of important topics discussed by the leadership team, I will be sending out a biweekly update summarizing the meetings.  Remember, all staff are able to attend these meetings, it is not an exclusive group.

Current core members include:

• Josh Forehand
• Leslie Taschwer, School Improvement Partner
• Emily Zoeller, Facilitator
• Kristi Nelson, Data Point Person
• Chris Powers, Time-Keeper and Related Arts rep
• Sarah Niesen, Recorder and 3rd grade rep
• Laura Gibson, Kindergarten rep
• Kiersten Audy, 2nd Grade rep
• Rigoberto Gallegos, 4th grade rep
• Kristen Scott, 5th grade rep
• Stephanie Herrera, PBS rep
• Peter Joyce, Parent and Nuestro Mundo, Inc. rep
• Pam McGillivray, Parent and NMI rep

The meetings will consist of a predictable agenda:

• Voices from the Field: in which grade level representatives can bring celebrations and concerns from their colleagues to the SBLT.
• Monitoring the SIP: Review student data and feedback from staff PDs, Deep Dives, teacher team assessments, etc.
• PD Calendar: discuss ongoing development of PD plan
• Decide Agenda for Next Meeting

Our first meeting of the school year was September 9th.  I will provide a summary of this meeting shortly.  We meet every other Tuesday in Sarah Niesen's room from 3:45-5:00pm.  Snacks are served at 3:30!

Our next meeting is on the 23rd of September, wherein the main topic will be the finalization of our School Improvement Plan, which is due on September 30th to Superintendent Cheatham.
