If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

WIN Time Changes
You should be pulling yellow kids from the MAP quadrants. These are the kids that are higher achieving that red/orange, but still need to grow. They need that extra push to meet their projected RIT.
Please communicate this to parents by next week if your groups are changing. If you are already pulling kids in the yellow, your group may not need much tweaking. This will give new groups 3 weeks before Christmas and a few after the break, and by then we will have new MAP data to guide WIN time groups.
New Campus Tech
We are losing Mo. Which makes us all very sad.
Thai Vu will be our new person. Let's give him a warm Whitt welcome.
Thanksgiving Lunch Times- please share!
Notes from the Nurse
Morgan's Musings
PACK Changes
If there are PACK changes moving forward, please ensure all PACK teachers and FASE teachers are aware. FASE schedules are affected, the nurse’s dosing of friends is affected, and of course PACK teachers need to know bc their lesson plans are affected as well. Subs also need to be in the loop, especially if there are friends that need a heads-up for a schedule change.
Watch DOGS and Speech
Watch DOGS can go to the office for the chore chart if their kiddo has speech that day. :)
Please review these with your students. A few reminders:
1. Do not cover the window on your door.
2. If outside at recess, go to the far fence and have students squat/sit. (If it was real, you would go over the fence and far away).
3. Do not open the door for anyone. We will come unlock and tell you when it is over.
4. Doors locked, lights out, kids (and teachers) out of sight.
Fire Drill Procedures:
1. If you are missing a kid, and have not heard their name mentioned by a pullout teacher/nurse/etc, say "not clear, missing..." and give first names.
2. If you are a pullout teacher, say "Mrs. Soandso has..." and say first names, so grade level teachers can listen for their missing kids.
