August 19, 2010 8am - 11:00am - Faculty Meeting. Gave entire staff a copy of School Success Plan Goals and discussed plans to reach these goals. Also shared with staff the AYP legistulation with graphs of benchmark percentages and the cells open for our school. The entire SSP was placed on the school's website for teachers to access.

July - Leadership Meeting - Meet with the school leadership team (half day at my house) to dissect school data and establish school priorities relevant to the data. Data suggested a need to place an emphasis on reading and writing (since we had a focus in writing the previous year they suggested we continue with this). Additionally the team wanted to continue with a common vocabulary and expectations for all areas of the school (Be respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe) - Referrals were down from 194 to 144 and bus referrals down from 119 to 36.
