The good news is the CTSEDs//PowerSchool interaction we were promised on July 1st in my district happened today?
We got ours in early September. Seems to be working fine for now.The good news is the CTSEDs//PowerSchool interaction we were promised on July 1st in my district happened today?
For the longest time this year there was no icon for us to denote 504 or special Ed. Then we got a folder icon to mean sped and today access to the doc from PowerSchoolWe got ours in early September. Seems to be working fine for now.
This year I’m coaching teeball on Mondays. Definitely MondayWe had this conversation at lunch today and I'm curious where the spread on teachers goes with this.
Which day of the week are you the most tired throughout the day?
For me, it's Monday because I tend to have the least amount of sleep on Sunday night and then the onslaught of stimuli Monday takes time to adjust. Sleep well on Monday night and then rest of the week is fine. Tired also on Friday, but it's more of a giddy/fun tired as the weekend approaches.
We have a two people under the teacher contract based in the district office dedicated to researching/recommending/supporting all district teachers educational platforms we use. One of them is in charge of PowerSchool. He bugged the state to get SPED/PowerSchool handshake? fixed after last year's clusterf_. Maybe he became the beta tester and now its rolling out to others. Who knows?For the longest time this year there was no icon for us to denote 504 or special Ed. Then we got a folder icon to mean sped and today access to the doc from PowerSchool

The number of teachers added to the faculty yearly whose job was to do anything but teach went up every year in my system.
One year my school was recognized for having the lowest student teacher ratio in the region. Class size was over 30. The reported ratio was 12:1.
Hmm. Have a friend who is always sick and has a stiff neck and body aches out of nowhere.It's that gross time of the year here at school. Stomach bug is going around and there's this virus that everyone is getting: swollen lymph nodes in the neck, body/head aches, fatigue, and that's it. Not flu/strep/covid...
A couple of weeks ago I had a bad sore throat and my lymph nodes were a little swollen. felt back to normal in 2-3 days. it was very bizarreIt's that gross time of the year here at school.

Question for Middle School teachers.
My kid made the honor roll this marking period with a 91 average….which is the same average he had last marking period when he did not make the honor roll.
His school doesn’t go by a cumulative average. Instead, one has to have an 80% in every individual class (he had a 79% in one last marking period).
Is that the norm for middle school? Going by grades in the individual classes vs a cumulative overall average?
MS Math teacher here, our school doesn’t have honor roll (we run an IB-MYP 1-7 scale) but my guess each school has its own metrics.Question for Middle School teachers.

There's a nasty flu going around the school I teach at. I've been lucky to avoid it so far, but it seems the kids who get it are out for at least a full week of school.A couple of weeks ago I had a bad sore throat and my lymph nodes were a little swollen. felt back to normal in 2-3 days. it was very bizarre
Yeah that’s more of what I was getting at. I do know the metrics that our school uses, ie you need at least an 80% in every class to make the honor roll. I was just wondering if that was the norm around the region/country because I thought it was a little strange.MS Math teacher here, our school doesn’t have honor roll (we run an IB-MYP 1-7 scale) but my guess each school has its own metrics.
Same with our school ever since the return from winter break. About half of our kids are international students and many travel far and wide during vacations, so to quote my primary care doctor: "you work in a ******* petri dish."There's a nasty flu going around the school I teach at.

I'm getting over a bad cold (sore throat, head ache), and there is also a different stomach bug going around as well. Last month, strep was finishing its rounds.

Of course Hey Adrien is a math teacher!! Based on his work on the BY I will wager a damn good one too.MS Math teacher here, our school doesn’t have honor roll (we run an IB-MYP 1-7 scale) but my guess each school has its own metrics.
