BEDS season is upon us. We GET to do BEDS.  :)

What? 

QUEST Staff BEDS Deadline: Wednesday, December 3rd

Who? 

Teachers AND some non-teaching (counselors, nurse, pysch...) 

How? 

1. Log-in to the ePMF site with your TEACH id.
2.  Validate the information that was uploaded into your school snapshot. Most data should be accurate, but there could be a few discrepancies. If you think some of the data is not accurate, please let Derek know what is wrong and what you believe it should be. 
3. For those who are instructional, you will also need to enter the course you teach, assignment code (see link), assignment name, grade level and the amount of students in your courses. 

Where do I log-in to start?

Log-in HERE

What resources might I need?

The BEDS ePMF User Guide, FAQ's, and Assignment Codes are now listed on the SharePoint called QUEST Shares (schedules) at the top of our blog. Inside that sharepoint there is a folder. Or, click Here

Acts of Kindness

Good one to show the kids as we look to bolster acts of kindness through the Principal's Challenge. Next week: anonymous acts of kindness!

SEL for a Second

What is equity? Why does it matter?

We all come from various backgrounds, and with one's background comes blind spots. How do you ensure that each student has what they need each day, regardless of gender, race, religion, or personality? Where are your blind spots?

This level of self-awareness is an area of strength at QUEST, in my eyes, but as we unpack SEL we will continue to look at the role that equity plays in it all.

Here's a visual that captures what equity is. 

Looking Ahead

FEAST

Many schools are rooted in tradition, but I have yet to see a school where the traditions are so deep and authentic. Last year, our teams unpacked many of the traditions to make the connection between who we are and what we do. Time to feast...can't wait!
