BEEs in the news Check out this cool article including our own Kris Elsie and Kassidy Keyton. http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/education/universal-broadband-internet-access-is-sought-for-albemarle-students/article_7db5bc12-c9d8-538f-9ec2-d8e316e9fe0f.html

School-wide Writing Goals Our Team Leaders had a great discussion in December’s meeting regarding each grade levels writing expectations and how our current instructional practices support our students in meeting those goals. If you have any observations or input toward this conversation, feel free to pass it on to Nancy, your Team Leader or I, as we will continue to discuss this topic in January’s TLC.

 

TPA Bee on the lookout for communications from Nancy and Jason about our TPA schedule. Nancy and I want to make sure you are fully supported in these processes, but please review the ACPS page with resources for Non Tenured teachers, teachers in their Full Evaluation year and teachers in a Non Evaluation year. Here is the link to access information about TPA: https://www2.k12albemarle.org/acps/staff/TPA/Pages/default.aspx Let us know if you have any questions.

Inspired by magic, over the break I learned how to conjure lasers from air. The catch, I have to bee wearing the bee costume! Thanks to Ahna See for the pic
