Staff Weekly Update
Stonegate Elementary. 4/11/14. Semester 2, Issue 13.
Yearlong Themes
Thank you for the hard work each team did this past week in creating yearlong themes. With teams being more cohesive, these plans will enable more teacher collaboration and deeper connections for students.
Time to Celebrate!
Our IREAD-3 scores came back and Stonegate had 97.9% of students pass. Thank you to our third grade team and our entire staff that worked to enable such high achievement.
Market Day Success
We hope you took some time to enjoy Second Grade's Market Day today. A big shout out to the second grade team and their students for another successful event featuring Stonegate small businesses!
CoreLink Testing
Well, scratch the message that was shared in our last Weekly Update. Martha Farley, our district testing coordinator, has received word that we will NOT be piloting the CoreLink assessment this spring.
Don't forget to submit...
nominations for our Stonegate Teacher of the Year and Someone Special Awards. We MUST receive all nominations by April 14th. Use the link if you still need to submit your nominations.
ZTEP Visits
Certified Staff: We (Connie & Aaron) will be visiting many of your classrooms this month as we finish up unannounced observations. We appreciate your continued focus on best practices, and please make sure to email us if you have any major changes to your schedule (especially USS Team educators). Thanks for all that you do!
PTO Wish List Input
We have around $8,000 allotted from PTO for Wish List items to be spent this school year. Before we make any recommendations, we would like your input on things that would best directly impact students (i.e. technology purchases, an artist in residence experience, etc.), which is always our goal when spending PTO funds. Please use this link to submit any input or ideas.
Curriculum Corner
Below are links to the Power Point presentations from Jim McMillan's coaching visit this week. Please use them as needed as a refresher or if you were unable to attend one of his optional sessions.
