Monty and Shari went to a meeting regarding Web 2.0. The CBE wants forms filled out as you would for a field trip in order to protect you.The principal will sign off on the form and it will go downtown to be approved. We don't know how long it will take for CBE to send back approval.

We will know more as time goes by.

April 9, 2012 PD Day - first we discuss the results of February PD.

Holistic approach touching base at home in classes in Warrior Pride. Zero-tolerance for bullying in any form. Unaware of the subtlety. Text talk. Teachers want to know what they can do to understand the forms that bullying take.

Richard found a documentary on the Doc Zone []

Teachers would like it dealt with, but don't feel equipped to do so or don't have the time to cover it within the context of their courses.

Teachers want to know how to recognize the signs and how to help. Who can we refer students to? Who is qualified to help.

Theme for next PD Day? Connections. Making connections. Our school is a village.

Have pictures of students and place stickers on the ones with whom you have a personal connection.
