ATTENTION STUDENTS: Beginning Monday, March 31, 2008, students late to period 1 will be subject to Saturday School detention. Saturday School detentions have been assigned randomly throughout the day to periods 2 through 6. We believe that tardies to these periods have decreased. However, tardies to period 1 remain a major issue. You must get to ALL classes on time to avoid Saturday School. (S. Williams)

FACULTY SECTION
PLC TIDBITS OF THE DAY: Consider what it takes for us as individuals to be successful team members: We must be committed to developing skills that help us work effectively with others (communication, listening, conflict resolution, and participation; we must be committed to increasing our technical expertise or competence so that we can help the team make good decisions; we must be aware of our own behaviors and work-style preferences and their impact on others, so we can adjust our behaviors and help the group address the needs of all team members; we must bring our background and experiences to the table and share them; we must be willing to work together to become clearer about our common purpose and goals, to develop a shared sense of responsibility and commitment to achieving the group’s missions and goals. (Radford)
