Teachers and Counselors and Admin… Oh MY!
Feb 14th, 2009 | By Raymond | Category: Staff/Faculty ShareAll PACHS staff returned from Lisle, Illinois this week.
They had their annual winter retreat Wednesday through Friday. From school policies to learning how to work with each other, PACHS staff spent long hours talking about ways to help our school function at a higher level.
They celebrated the school’s successes so far, such as the combined day and nght school attendence of a little over 80% avereage. The staff spoke about students like Federico Sierra, who has received perfect attendance awards every month of school thus far.
The staff broke up into committees to discuss issues such as Independent Study and Excused Attendance policies.
One of the most successful activities the staff participated in was where they had picked a name of a fellow staff member. They were then told to make something for that person that celebrated who they were or what that person means to them. It was very emotiional and helped the staff grow closer.
The PACHS staff scored this retreat almost overwhelmingly as a 4 out of 5 (5 being the best) in terms of how productive this retreat was.
