Dos Rios Elementary
Weekly Rocket * February 5, 2018
Principal's PLC-Connection
- Have you worked with your students (Rising Rockets) on Goal Setting? Please be ready to show/share how your students are tracking/goal setting with progress monitoring data. Sample Goal Setting forms were attached at the bottom of last week's Weekly Rocket.
- The contractual day begins at 7:30 a.m. This means that we are in our classrooms ready to receive students at 7:30. Please let me know if you are running late or need to leave early.
- Please remember to clock-in and out each day.
- If you are out absent, please be sure to put your absence into Aesop (if you are a teacher) and Time Clock Plus. Please do so in a timely fashion so we have the best chances of securing a substitute.
- Please be sure to take your attendance daily before 9:00 a.m.
Rising Rockets Club
Please make sure you are filling out the Rising Rocket Club log with your communication. I will be scheduling a (Take2)R.R.C. Parent Informational for those who could not attend or did not get the invite. We are having our 1st Pizza & Progress Night on Feb. 12th so be sure to personally invite your R.R.C. Parents and Students (parents must attend with their student).I would like to put together something special. Please think of an ending to this phrase:
"Together We Can..."
Make it unique to your perspective, content, or passion. For instance, a PE teacher might say, "Together We Can Run The Race." A Math teacher might say, "Together We Can Solve Problems." A Social Worker might say, "Together We Can Resolve Conflict." Whatever your passion, fill in the blank. Another teacher might answer, "Together We Can Make our School a Magical Place."
Principally yours,
Mrs. Annamarie Dowling-Garrott
