IX. DIRECTOR OF SCHOOLS REPORT
Discussion:
Opening School Program – On August 3rd we will have our official Opening of Schools Program. Beginning at 7:00 a.m., a benefits fair in the lobby of PGES will be provided for employees to attend if they wish. At 8:00 a.m., all employees will attend the opening in the PGS gymnasium, with the remainder of the day being utilized for professional learning sessions. The Board was invited to help welcome back faculty and staff that morning for the new school year. BANTIP – The new teacher induction program will be conducted July 26-28. This will be held earlier than in the past to give the new teachers more time before the district and school administrative days occur. We look forward to working with our new teachers and administrators as the new school year begins. At this time there are 34 new teachers. “The Great American Solar Eclipse” – This historical event will occur on August 21st; we are in the process of developing a viewing opportunity for our students and personnel to experience this once in a lifetime event. Our T&L Department has ordered eclipse-safe viewing glassed for students and employees, we are also reviewing and determining safety precautions. In addition, parents will have to provide written consent in order for their children to participate in the viewing. Mrs. Decker has been researching lessons for all grades to take part and learn. During the Executive PTO meeting, Dr. Snowden had questions regarding if parents can come view with their children – while not enough glasses have been ordered for parents to have as well, we are trying to accommodate additional viewers. TSBA Fall District Meeting – This meeting will be held on September 28th this year, in the Houston County School District. Please let Carol know if you will be able to attend for registration purposes. NSBA CUBE Conference registration – Dr. Barker has been registered for the CUBE Conference in September. If others are interested in attending, please let Carol know. |
