__Deadline Reminder__
- FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS

Remember that __//course outlines//__ are due next Tuesday, January 15. The ones that I have seen so far are so professional and thoughtful! There must be one course outline for each grade level in each subject area. And the "rules" say that there is a two page limit.

You may email me your completed course outline or drop it in the appropriate folder in the IB Common folder on the server.

__A CS Request__
- FOR ALL STAFF

Timi Davenport would love to publicize some of the CS experiences that are happening at Newton. As your students complete their reflections, please let her know about special write-ups that you've shared with others. She'd like to publicly recognize students for their efforts. We'd like to do the same for staff! =__IMPORTANT FOR ALL CERTIFIED STAFF__=

In order to complete Application B, we have been requested to provide background information on the staff. In the IB Information common folder, you will find a folder that says "Application B Materials". There are two documents in there that describe our staff - in terms of teaching and educational experience and also IB training. Every staff member must check these two documents and update/correct them! Once you have done so, please add your initials to the last column on the right so that I know that the information is both accurate and current. This task needs to be completed by __**Tuesday, January 22**__. Thanks in advance for the five minutes it will take for you to take care of this.
