If you are on cycle please make sure you schedule your first observation with me and turn in your growth goals by October 1. If you are doing an alternative evaluation then please go over forms 1-3 with me. If you have any questions let me know. Now that we are into the school year I will be getting into all classes more.
Cross country was hosting a mega-meet on Thursday with about six other teams. It was a great day for running and lots of friends and families were there for the races. Joe and Megan did a great job hosting the meet and our runners gave their best.

I want to thank everyone for the great job you did when we moved into "secure building and teach" on Wednesday. The drill practice we have done and clear communication created seamless transitions with everyone following directions.
The PTA fun run is coming! There is going to be quite a bit more commotion around this fun run with many prizes, announcements and activities. Thanks in advance to Kim, Margaret and homeroom teachers who will help promote, track and pass out prizes. The ramp up will take place from October 1-9 with the Fun Run taking place on October 10. Obviously huge props to Jen and Joe who will be doing most of the heavy lifting.
The latest edition of the STEM Parade has arrived. Watch for the student floats.....stay for the staff sitcom theme song. BMS Back to School Parade 2025 Thanks to Sherry, Angela and Megan P for the great work.
I love that April and the Specials Team is working with Chris and the BB300 to do some "What is a Benjamin Student" Shout Outs. Please refer to the google form in April's email to spread the positivity and reinforce our expectations.
Eligibility has begun. Thanks for updating the sheet Margaret sends out. Teachers are responsible for contacting parents and coaches of a student is ineligible I call down students and Friday to inform them. Ineligibility is when a student in a club or a sport is earning two D's or and F in their classes. They are then out of that activity starting on Monday through the next week until eligibility is run again. Being out the whole week starting on Monday accomplishes two things: It allows the student the week to get their grade up and their isn't pressure on the teacher to grade an assignment so the student can become eligible the next day. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I will put out the October meeting schedule on Friday. With 5 Wednesdays in October that means there's one freebie!
Dr. McGill and I will be spending two days (October 2nd and 3rd) in West Chicago 33 helping them with their Strategic Plan audit. Where we are just starting our process, they are wrapping up their five years. Obviously, April, Todd and Nicole will be here to help problem solve any issues. Dr. Filas will also be able to help if needed.
