News and Notes
Kagan Training and Resources
Thank you for your positive attitude and complete participation in our Kagan Training! Rick, our trainer, had wonderful things to say about our staff! He definitely wants to come back or have some of us attend additional Kagan Trainings. Please let me know if you are interested.
We purchased some additional resources on Wednesday, but also have a lot of Kagan resources already in Nikki's space! Please check them out at our next Teamwork Tuesday!
Whites (Majors) and Reds (Minors)
Whoever writes the white or red makes the initial parent contact, whether phone or email depending on the relationship with the parent This is especially important to be able to relay the events of the incident to the parent/guardian in ac lear and timely manner. My ability to follow up does not always happen within the same school day.
Reds are entered by the student's classroom teacher into SWIS. Whites are entered into SWIS and Infinite Campus by Elizabeth.
Absences
If you have a planned absence, please let me know ahead of time. There are blue sheets in the file divider in the office. Personal days must be approved 2 weeks in advance. Sick days do not need approval, but I would like to get them on the calendar as soon as possible.
SSTs
Please email Mrs. Milhollin after you fill out the SST Paperwork in Infinite Campus. If you have filled out a referral for an SST and haven't heard from me, I don't know about it! You do not have to fill out INITIAL SST documents if a student had an SST last year.
Grades in Infinite Campus
Update your grades at a minimum of the 15th and 30th of each month. The grade card window opens this week! See the chart below for when the window opens/closes.
iReady Diagnostic Tips
You can use the powerpoint linked below to remind students about the iReady test.
Review testing strategies.
Encourage students to use whiteboards or scratch paper to work out problems.
Plan for two or three testing sessions of 30-45 minutes. This can be either on the same day or across different days.
Students test better in the morning.
Plan for a low-key activity for students when they complete testing. Reading a book is always a good idea.
Monitor students throughout the test. Encourage those who are going quickly to take a break. Move around the room frequently to monitor students.
Encourage effort!!
