Prom Surprise, Springfest and Last Assembly.  Many thanks and congratulations to Fatima, Nicole, Remy and all of our Girls Inc. partners for a wonderful series of events for our young women.  Thursday's Springfest was a fun celebration of our after school programs and truly brought our community together to honor the talents of  our young women! It as definitely one of our best Springfest events to date.  Additionally, our seniors were surprised for the second year in a row to receive make-overs, prom dresses, shoes and accessories!  All of this coordinated by Remy and her team to make this special day a memorable one for the young ladies.  Finally, many thanks and shout outs to Jen for her work in launching our final assembly of the year. Honoring our graduates and four impressive staff who have indelibly left their mark upon our community was the best way to wrap up the year!

Monday PD.  After school on Monday will be our last full staff meeting of the year.  Colleen will be using some time to review Regents procedures and schedules, and I will be charging grade teams to finalize and review the PID for their grades.  By now, you should have already called home and logged these calls into Skedula for  any student is failing or in danger of failing your class.  Please bring these names to the table for Monday's grade team meeting.  I will need a finalized list from teams to register for summer school.

End of Year Conferences.  I will be scheduling these end-of-term meetings during Regents week.  Now that the Regents schedule is finalized, I will send out calendar invites.  At these meetings, please come prepared to discuss and use student work to illustrate the following

• Reflect on your goals.  Which were successfully achieved? Which were put aside (and why)? Which ones are you still ongoing and what are you planning to do for next year?  It's expected that your goals may have shifted from the last time we spoke.  With the amount of peer feedback through coaches and PODs, that's inevitable.  So, please bring your current goals to the table.

• Reflect on your Data.  Analyze your course passing rates (what percentage passed and what was the grade distribution), your benchmark data, and any other data point(s) of your choosing to discuss  why you think it fell out that way.  Are you satisfied? If so, why? If not, why not?  In either case, what are you planning for next year to keep or change student performance?
