HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
YOU are loved.
YOU are appreciated.
YOU are needed.
Please take time to rest, relax, and spend time with your family.
When we come back from break it's GAME ON! We have some awesome PD coming up to accelerate our TRIBE to maximum achievement!
January 3rd
Don't forget- based on staff feedback- we are doing TRAUMA INFORMED CARE training on Wednesday from 8-11 a.m. for the entire staff in the media center.
Please use the rest of the day from 11am on to PLAN with your team! This is a great time to get caught up and be extra prepared for January.
I would strongly encourage that you spend January 4th and 5th going back over the VIBE expectations, setting rules, and establishing your culture for second semester. It's a new year and set those expectations SUPER HIGH for academics and behavior.
Please let the BIS and LEE know if you would like them to come into your class for reminders.
Areas for FEEDBACK
LEANN TRAINING January 8th and 9th
We have been speaking with Leann Nickelsen for the upcoming PD and have come up with a plan where she can support instruction AND planning.
Here is what we will have in place to make this work.
Each grade level, please send SVB your ELA lesson plan so that we can send them to Leann in advance for the following days. We will need the plans by January 4th so she has time to process them.
There is an optional, but awesome, 2 day long formative assessment training taking place for an hour each day after school. You will earn comp time if you attend. It will be SO worth it! Please try to get at least one member of your grade level to attend.
January 8th- 1st, 5th, Kindergarten
January 9th- 4th, 3rd, 2nd
With our team, we are going to do some learning walks with coaches, grade chairs, district personnel, and Ms. Nickelsen.
Followed up with an hour feedback cycle where Ms. Nickelsen will give specific feedback on how we can maximize our planning and execution for the entire grade level.
Grade chairs will be attending the walks on the day their team isn’t observed and then Leann will be doing a lunch and learn with grade chairs and coaches to show us some strategies for coaching our teams.
This is super exciting!!!
