*******************NEWS**********************

Well-Wishes
Please keep Hollye Conway in your thoughts as she was in a snowmobile accident in Colorado while visiting her daughter. She broke her clavicle and hip bone and had to have surgery. She is safely back home and recovering from her surgery now. We will keep you posted on her progress.

The Contest

We hope everyone enjoyed "The Contest" and greatly appreciate everyone for bringing their A-game, working collaboratively, showing your team spirit, and spreading kindness around our building! Congratulations to the USA Team who has earned a 1 hour long lunch break provided by the Admin Team! We will be in touch with that team to set up their reward!

Fastbridge- New Schedule

**************************************************

KSU Coach

Schedule: I will be at High Point on Tuesday 1/23 and Thursday 1/25

Notes: Snow days getting in the way of your learning? In this day and age, let’s take advantage of technology to implement some digital learning. Tasks, assignments, games and quizzes can be set up on platforms like Seesaw and Google Classroom. Follow @ksuiteach on Twitter for some great virtual learning ideas! 

Highlights: I missed seeing you all this week! We had so many different types of co-planning, co-teaching and meetings scheduled. Please help me reschedule these opportunities by emailing me a new day and time for our work together. Sorry for the inconvenience! 

DON’T FORGET to review my website for updates on technology implementation in your classroom - https://www.smore.com/0j3th

2018-2019 Intent Survey

Please take a moment to fill out the "2018-2019 Intent Survey." As you have already heard, employee contracts will come out earlier this year (around Feb. 5th) so there will not be a survey from Fulton County regarding your intent for next year.

While you do not need to complete this survey, we do ask that you fill out High Point's Intent Survey to let us know if you would like to change positions next year or any other information that we need to know for next year. Please complete the survey by Feb. 2nd. Thank you!!!
