News/Timelines/Due Dates

·         I hope everyone had a wonderful four-day weekend.  I have been asked to travel to the promise land to recruit teachers for the county at the premier university located in Athens, GA.  I leave this afternoon and will return on Thursday.

·         PRIDE – We will continue silent reading in conjunction with Test Talks this week.  The word around school is that PRIDE teachers still have quite a few students to meet with to do test talks, therefore, we are going to continue silent reading/test talk days to make sure all students have had their meetings.  (Feb. 24 & March 2).  If by March 2 you have finished your test talks, feel free to have a general discussion with students about whether or not they have been using the strategies they agreed to and how they have helped.  Remind students to bring their silent reading books with them each week.

 Where is Livingston?  Cedric Dunans states, “I feel that Autrey Mill has some of the best teachers Fulton County has to offer. However, one department holds some of Autrey Mills’s unsung heroes. I want to bring light to the service the Special Ed. Department renders selflessly. The love and patience they show to their students who at times need that extra special attention is not unnoticed. I give Livingston the Lion to not one but the entire Special Ed. Department...”  We agree!!

Happy Birthday

NONE!!
