We are Preparing to Launch the Next PDSA Cycle—Here’s What It Means for Student Learning
STAFF UPDATES
Administrative Announcements
-If you are absent, please notify your immediate administrator supervisor via email and include Jennifer/Lorraine and Juana (if absence is for a teacher). You are to submit your absence certification upon return from your absence otherwise your time will remain unpaid. Absence certifications are required for all absences, regardless of reason.
-Need partial day coverage, complete the substitute slip and get it signed by your Admin.

- Click here for mental health resources available to all LAUSD staff
Professional Learning and Meetings
-This Tuesday, March 11, we will have school-wide PD. We will start right after school. Sign-in will take place with your Department Admin.
-We will have a Faculty Meeting this Tuesday from 3:37-4:37pm. Take a look at our running agenda for a preview of the topics we’ll be covering.
Instructional Resources and Support
-As always, please ensure your white board configuration (agenda, learning objective, language goal, etc) is posted and visible for everyone throughout the period, including the WASC Instructional Strategy that will be utilized for the lesson. The posted learning objective should outline how students will demonstrate their understanding of the learning objective. The posted language objective should aim to clarify the linguistic skills students will need to successfully meet the content objectives. Specify the academic vocabulary, types of explanations required (oral or written), and the linguistic structures or phrases students should use.
-With Tutor.com's Dropoff Essay Review tool, students can submit their work and receive custom feedback in five rubric-based categories and in-line feedback on their written work. Each tutor spends between 30-35 minutes per student paper, and this feedback is visible to teachers via the Teacher Dashboard. This can be used as a way to support rough draft essay review.
-Observation Feedback is logged in the MyPGS system. Please note, you are to reply to feedback via the platform within 2 weeks of the observation. Your observation will be finalized once the response is received. In some cases, your department administrator will schedule an observation debrief to discuss the lesson observed.

Thank you for helping keep our school a positive, focused place for everyone!
ATTENDANCE MATTERS: EVERY DAY COUNTS
March Into Great Attendance!
Consider these trips to keep your student healthy and in school:
- Develop back up plans for getting your student to school. Check to see who can give them a ride if you are not able to take them or the bus doesn’t arrive.
- Ensure your student is dressed for the cold and rainy weather. Rain boots, jackets, and an umbrella can keep them dry and healthy.
- Remind your student to wash their hands thoroughly and regularly. Appropriate hand hygiene is the single most effective action to stop the spread of infection and illness.
- Encourage habits such as getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, drinking fluids, and getting exercise.
Let’s make every day count!
