PRIDE – This Friday, November 8th PRIDE
groups will remain in homerooms for silent reading. We are staying
in homerooms due to the 8th graders attending the Georgia
trip. PRIDE will return to their regular classrooms next week for an
advisement lesson. During the week, please remind students in homeroom,
your classes, in passing conversation, etc. about “Giving a Golden Ticket”
toy/book donations for our community service project. A blurb is being
included in the Lion’s Roar for parents but the more we can talk about it with
our students the better.

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. 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. Here
are the results broken down into further categories.
Our Overall Results
A Mighty Roar
To the math department and their vertical teaming. They discussed the idea of the test banks
that roll out beginning in January as well as went over the 8 Mathematical
Process Standards. Then they rotated from table to table looking at each
other’s tests and study guides and making notes and comments on butcher paper.
They ended with comments and a brief discussion. They decided that they need to
include more “justify your solution” questions, as well as work harder to
challenge our advanced kids (more rigor for the top kids).
Friday Leadership Conversations and Coffee - Do you see yourself as a future administrator or
teacher leader? Do you want to learn
more about leadership? Join us for
conversations and coffee on various topics related to leadership. Each month we will discuss a different topic
and engage in a case study related to that topic. Our first meeting will be on November 15 in
room A150 at 7:30 a.m.
Instructional Support Specialist – As you know, Stephanee is leaving us at the end of the
week and I want to thank her for her service.
If you are interested in interviewing for the position please send me an
email and describe why you are interested and what you might bring to the
position. Please submit this to me by
Thursday, November 7. Please keep in
mind that this position is only funded for the current year and while I hope this
continues, it is not a guarantee.
Where is
Livingston?
Robyn Magnussen says “This week Livingston will have the pleasure of
visiting with one of Autrey Mill's finest! This teacher is one of the hardest
working people I know. She is a "behind the scenes" kind of
person" who will show up at 1-2-1 Reach to counsel a student and coach
him/her to do better. She'll give up lunch for a week to work with a group of
students so that they understand grammar. This teacher sets high expectations
for her students and then stands beside them to guide them along. I know your
students appreciate you just as much as I do Kristen Barksdale! Keep up the
good work! ”
Happy Birthday
