Congratulations to our Symphonic Band - West Geauga High School Symphonic Band performed this weekend at the district contest and  received a rating of 'I' from all 4 judges for an overall rating of 'I' -Superior.  Congratulations to Mr. Branch, Mrs. Cosenza and the entire band.  Tremendous job!

Accident/Incident Reports - If you witness an accident or incident needing medical/nurse attention, you are required to fill out an accident report.  Forms can be found in main or nurses offices.

Coaches and Club Advisers - Please submit your team or club rosters to the main office.  All students need to have their participation recorded in our DASL system. Thank you.

eTPES - Professional Growth - At the beginning of the year you were asked to either complete or skip (there is an option after you click Professional Growth Plan to skip) the Professional Growth Plan in eTPES.  Your final evaluation for the year will not be finished until you complete this step.  Please refer to the image below for clarification. (Click to enlarge)


eTPES - Pre-Observation Document - Prior to your Pre-Observation meeting with your principal, have your Pre-Observation PDF document uploaded to your eTPES site.  Once this item is complete, the step will be checked off in eTPES.  You will not need to enter your pin if you upload the pdf document.  Click to enlarge image below.









eTPES - Evidence and Artifacts - Many questions have come up regarding what documents to provide to the eTPES site.  I would recommend you upload any documents you have relating to your observation that help to support the lesson and provide evidence to the evaluation rubric.  Upload this information at the bottom of the eTPES site.  Here is another visual to help clarify.
