MHRS Shark Sightings Post #11 12.19.17

A privilege that I have enjoyed sharing with our seniors over the years is to spend time with them the Friday before vacation participating in an activity of their choice.  On Friday, the seniors will be having "Movie Time" in our auditorium during the end of Jawsome through 4th block and be dismissed directly to the pep rally.  I will be responsible for their supervision, but all staff are welcome to join! Thank you for freeing them up, it is very important to them (and me :) 

Greetings ... It`s that time of the Year !!

Yes the Holidays ... AND ... educators of NPTS have an upcoming EVIDENCE due date of JANUARY 16, 2018. Please upload evidence to TeachPoint by 1/16/18 pertaining to progress toward your two Goals as well as Standards 3 and 4B.  In addition to uploading evidence,  please use this template to summarize/organize the evidence you provide and upload this summary to TeachPoint along with your actual evidence.

Thanks everyone and please reach out to your administrative evaluator if you have any questions regarding evidence and the 1/16/18 due date.  

Teacher Work/Lunch Room Announcement:

It is important that our teachers and support staff have a quiet place to work, conduct school business and have a quiet place to converse and eat lunch.  Our teacher rooms provide us these wonderful spaces.  It is important that NO STUDENTS are allowed in these areas and not asked to do so by staff.

Thank you!

Congratulations to MHRS custodian Gary Garbitt, who will be retiring from the MRSD this Friday 12.22.17.  We were fortunate enough to have Gary join our family the last few months after spending the majority of his career at HES.  Please wish Gary all the best!
