News and Notes
End of the Year Checklist/Student Information Sheets
End of the Year Checklists and Student Information Sheets will be coming to you by May 1! There will also be a district created sheet for students attending summer school that will include guided reading levels and additional information for summer school teachers.
Professional Growth Plans/Summative
Final observations, followed by one-on-one conversations about your PGP/Summative will happen between now and the beginning-middle of May. When you complete your part of the PGP you will need to include three artifacts. These can be photos, screenshots, or scanned documents that show completion of your goals. Those artifacts can be uploaded anytime, as well as your reflection on the two goals.
Class Lists for 19-20
I will be asking for feedback on class lists for next year in the next few weeks. First we will look at separations - which students should not be together next year. Also, think about students who would work well together. Draft lists will be created and shared with current grade level teachers to get input - teacher names will not be assigned at this point.
If a parent has reached out to you about requests or separations, please have them contact me directly.
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
It's not too late to start an SST on a student struggling academically or behaviorally. It's best to document concerns and strategies being used to address those concerns.
Grades in Infinite Campus
Update your grades at a minimum of the 15th and 30th of each month.
Posting text levels needs to be done monthly in Infinite Campus - this is a district expectation.
Summer School Staff Info
Orders for 2019-2020
School Specialty has an online feature to create your requisition in a cart. Using this system will allow you to see the discount the district gets from School Specialty. If you have questions about using the School Specialty online ordering, please see Valerie. THIS IS ONLY FOR SCHOOL SPECIALTY ORDERS.
School Specialty Orders
This process will allow you to create and print a School Specialty requisition much faster and much more accurately than the traditional paper process because your discounted price will automatically be shown.
1. Access the website www.schoolspecialty.com
2. Click “Login or Register”
3. Enter your username and password:

5. Create your requisition either by catalog part number or by searching products online.
6. Simply save your cart and email your cart number to .Valerie Miller. If you don't save it, you will not get a cart number.
7. NOTE: Do NOT "Checkout" as Requisition Print will not allow you to submit your order.
Classroom Connection
- Classroom Connection is a local business which will provide free delivery to the school (No shipping cost). They will offer a 15% discount. (Put the regular prices in the requisition, but create a line on the requisition that says Classroom Connection 15% discount- Carey will figure that.)
- Use the attached requisition for Classroom Connection orders.
- ALL PRODUCTS from the following companies can be listed on your Classroom Connection purchase order even if not listed in the store catalog.
- Carson Dellosa
- Creative Teaching Press
- Educational Insights
- Eureka
- Evan-Moor Publishing (excludes student pack workbooks)
- Learning Resources
- McDonald Publishing
- Melissa & Doug Toys & Puzzles

FOR ALL OTHER CATALOG ORDERS
- Use the attached requisition. Do not change any of the dates on the attached requisitions. (Dates should reflect July 1, 2019)
- Use a separate requisition for each company you order from.
- Carey will continue to order staples, tape, paperclips, etc.
- Generally speaking each classroom teacher may order about $300.
- If there is a code for a discount, please be sure to write the code and the amount of the discount on the purchase order.
- If there is shipping cost, you need to count that as a part of your $300 ish and write the shipping cost on the requisition as a separate line item.
- Use a separate requisition for each company you order from.
- Catalogs are in the office. Be sure to use 2019-2020 catalogs. Don't keep them too long. We'll put out an APB if they are gone too long!
- You can order throughout the year. Think about what you need to get your year started.
