1. Student placement issue:
Incoming students' placement may not be accurate because
non-ELLs might put themselves into the EL category to get into Lincoln. Teachers
should not send any students who claim to be misplaced to counselors or Mr. Fang
before the ten-day count. Please use the attached form to record names of
students who might be misplaced. After the ten-day count, I will conduct a
research on these individual students to see which ones can be removed from our
ELL list.
2. Department placement policy: please see attached. If we
need to revise it, we can do that at one of our department meetings.
3. Book list: Books for each level/course are listed on
your book list. Please review it and try not to issue books to students the
first week because we are still in constant changes.
4. Expenditure requisition: please go see Mr. Chung or go
to the main office to pick up a copy of the pink form. Also, the department
has a supplies/books request form so that you can request supplies or books.
Olga will be back on Monday to take care of your order.
5. Copy machine: we have not had a maintenance contract
yet. Therefore, if we break it, it will be on us to fix it. Password has not
been set, either. So please use the office service and library copy for
emergency. We need to have a training session once we get the password.
6. Common Grading Policy: the department members discussed
this issue and the importance of aligning standards to a common assessment. We
agreed upon the following department common grading policy:
