September,
Thank you for the reminder that change can be beautiful!
We have had a few questions about Student Dress Code. Please see FUSDs revised policy and staff procedural expectations. If you feel a student is violating this policy, please let me know so I can handle it appropriately.

A few of you have been asking about a Covid protocol.
FUSD follows CDC respiratory illness recommendations (which now includes COVID)
When you may have a respiratory virus...
Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others.*
You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
- When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.
High Quality Instruction
Culture of Feedback - The Coaching
Mrs. Hulls and I want to be in classrooms weekly doing 15-ish min observations and scheduling brief instructional coaching feedback meetings. We want to observe the practices that you identify you wish to improve on. Depth of knowledge questioning, the second question, student engagement, equity, effective student collaboration, make thinking visible strategies, your immediate feedback to students, etc. The topics are limitless. We want to support your area of focus in high quality teaching. These are informal observations but evidence can be applied to our project momentum goals and formal TEI evaluation.
TEI PLAN - The evaluation(s)
Please review the TEI PLAN for the 2024-2025 school year. This document includes the following: A link to the rubric, overview of the indicator timeline, the evaluation timeline which includes information on the pre-conference, observation, post conference, and summative evaluation expectations. Please review this thoroughly.
Together, we rise!
Hello FUSD Educators,
The Flagstaff Festival of Science is coming up, and it is also time to sign up for a scientist to join your classroom as a guest speaker. This is such a neat opportunity for students to see how STEAM is applied in the real world.
Please see the email below from Greg Vaughan, who is in charge of pairing teachers with scientists, for the details on how to sign up.
HERE is the list of scientists you can choose from, with their presentation topic.
Greetings Teachers,
The 2024 Flagstaff Festival of Science is just around the corner, so it is time to launch the In-school Speaker Program. If you are interested in connecting your students with local STEM professionals, we have great news. This year we have 49 STEM professionals (including experts in archeology, geology, environmental science, the water cycle, physics, astronomy, planetary science, chemistry, biology, ecology, math, medical science, and engineering) willing to volunteer their time to share their knowledge and expertise with your classes!
Now that school has begun, consider requesting a STEM professional to give a presentation to your class(es). To participate, (1) review the master list of presenters (attached), and choose up to three speakers who would work well for your grade / subject / curriculum, then (2) submit your choices via the form linked here: https://airtable.com/apprEAHhxrEStF3T3/shrjqLu2roTXU6nQ2
Deadline: September 2, 2024 (Labor Day)
In early September, we will match you with your requested STEM presenters on a first come, first served basis, so please submit your choices as early as possible. We will inform presenters of who requested them, and then they will reach out to you via email to arrange presentations. Please check your spam / junk email folders so you don't miss emails from presenters. Note: presentations do not have to take place during the 10-day Festival; you can arrange for presentations any day / time that works best for your classes and the presenter’s schedule, including anytime this fall or spring.
We are excited to provide so many opportunities to connect K-12 classes with STEM professionals and valuable STEM learning experiences.
Please reach out to me (vaughanrg@gmail.com) if you have any questions. For information about the upcoming Festival, visit our website, where you can download the Flagstaff Festival of Science App, which will have the full schedule of events; or visit our Facebook page for more information.
Sincerely,
