We're going to get together as a group for a couple hours on Thursday afternoon, August 8th at 1:30 PM after the all-FUSD meeting at COCONINO High School (which is currently slated to run from 8:00-9:00 AM) and district-level meetings for various staff (which have blocked out 9:00-12:30).
Our meeting shouldn't take too long. You can work in your rooms the balance of the day and most (if not all) of the day on the 9th.
Please bring your laptop to our First Faculty Meeting.
It will come in super-handy. Together, we will review most of our important stuff online, set a few bookmarks, save a tree or two, and leave it at that.
Of course, please feel free to print these things out (or not), either before or after we meet... If you like. Totally up to you. But in an effort to save expensive paper, invaluable support-staff time, my time (for whatever it's worth), as well as wear-and-tear on our dearly-beloved, oh-so-delicate copier, I will link to them here, and let you use them when/as you see fit.
These documents will always be here. All year long. Might even turn out to be handier online than as another file for you to misplace... Or is that just me?
