Do meetings seem closer together than last year? I heard this question a lot this LP, so I thought I would share with you how our meetings are planned.
We are required to meet once each learning period. Learning Periods can have from 15 to 20 school days, and some of them have holidays smack in the middle.
I have used the Learning Period calendar to set up three weekly "groups". (I can't schedule four, because some of the learning periods don't have four weeks :) Your meetings will fall into the first, second, or third meeting-week group of the learning periods. These groups are represented on the calendar below in orange, green and yellow.
There are no regularly scheduled meetings on Mondays and Fridays. Mondays are when Visions schedules our professional development meetings and our CT meetings. In addition, many holidays fall on Mondays. Fridays are my day to do paperwork.
Since standardized testing has not been scheduled this year, we may need to be flexible in April or May.
I'm hoping to be able to note all of your meeting dates on your semester plan by the end of our LP2 meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions!
