You don’t start climbing a mountain to get to
the middle. Why be content with being
average?

News/Timelines/Due Dates
Well it is obvious that my
football team has decided to focus on academics this year! What a crazy day in the SEC. I hope you are enjoying this crisp cool
weather. I love this time of year!
PRIDE- This Friday, October 25th
we will not meet for PRIDE due to the ITBS testing with 8th
grade. Please follow the regular Monday – Thursday time schedule.
We will meet next week with an advisement session.
Welcome – We have
a new cafeteria manager beginning today.
Please welcome Debbie Wigginton.
She was formally the manager at Shakerag.
TKES – We are
beginning round two and will focus on Instructional Strategies and Positive
Learning Environment. I appreciate that
some of you are striving for that exemplary rating but remember proficient is
what is expected. I suggest that you “unpack”
what exemplary looks like and realize that we might not see that in a ten
minute walk-through. Once we begin our
formatives, you will be given a feedback sheet after your visit to give input
on where you feel you stand on the instrument.
Please remember this is a growth instrument and you are encouraged to
have conversations with your evaluator.

Survey
• Many
of you may remember filling out this survey last year. It is the goal of the county to make this
list by 2017. I have attached the
powerpoint to the blog email and hope you will take a little time to look at
the overview of results and how the county is trying to answer the
concerns. You will be asked to take this
survey again soon and I will be providing your responses in the next few blogs
and will answer any questions at our next grade level meeting. The
purpose of the survey is:
• To
benchmark how employees feel about Fulton County Schools
• To
provide a safe and secure way to capture your thoughts and opinions about your
work environment
• To
determine areas where we need to provide a better work environment for
employees
• To
find out what it will take for Fulton County Schools to be named a top
workplace
• It
is one way to measure our culture – building a supportive culture is an
initiative in the Strategic Plan,
Our Overall Results
Where is
Livingston?
Sarah Bayer says "I am thrilled to be passing Livingston
along to one of our awesome new teachers!
She jumped in to start planning before
the school year even began, and she has a positive attitude that is definitely
contagious. When she and her fellow teachers wanted more information
about close reading, she reached out to other schools and found someone to come
provide them training. She is full of fresh ideas that are
student-centered, and she always shares them not only with her grade-level
content, but with other grade levels too. She is involved in FCA and
always stays after school to attend performances and school activities.
Autrey Mill is so lucky that Kyleigh
Slocum made the move to middle school this year, and it is my honor to pass
Livingston along to her!”
Happy Birthday
