February PD Day - the AM will be at the Cox Convention Center for Certified Employees.  You will be receiving an email with a link to sign up for the training.  After signing up be sure you print the ticket because it is REQUIRED for admittance.  If you don't bring the ticket (or have it on your cell phone) you will get to spend extra time in another line getting a new one.  I'm working on details for support staff plans and will let you know as soon as they are finalized.  The afternoon session will be at Coolidge for everyone.

Come to PLC meetings with the names of the 2 students you will be focusing on and your particular grade level goal.  Be sure to have specific strategies you plan to implement for these goals.

Evaluations:
It is time for Formal Evaluations.  Your evaluator will be sending you a pre-conference form that must be completed before the pre-conference meeting.  The plan is to observe and score elements that have not been scored before with the exception of Planning and Identifying Critical Content from the Standards.  Sign-in sheets from the ABL Lab and the STEAM room will also be checked (part of Adhering to School/District Policies and Procedures).

Upcoming Events;  We will be celebrating the 100th day of school a little early.... Friday, January 31st.  Students may come to school dressed how they think they will look at 100 years old.

Staffing for the 2020-2021 School Year.  

OKCPS will be holding job fairs a little earlier this year, which means they are looking to us to start making plans a little sooner too.  The district has sent you information about early notifications for retirement ($300) and leaving the district ($150).  We have a terrific team at Coolidge, but life happens and people need to have the opportunity to explore options.  The district will be sending letters of intent to you soon.

Happy Birthday
January 21 - Ms. Gonzalez Office
January 22 - Ms. Clements 3rd Grade
January 24 - Ms. Harris 3rd Grade
