"Embrace “Learning” rather than “Teaching” as the fundamental purpose of your school." -- Building PLCs
Kudos!!
Thank you to Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Garcia and our Gattis choir for representing Gattis and performing at the Star's game last Saturday!!
Appreciation goes to the MANY teachers who volunteer to engage students in after school enrichment or tutorial activities! This makes a huge difference for our students!
The 1st edition of the student created newsletter last week was just terrific! This week we have the first meeting for our Spanish club!

Review Accommodations and groups for CBAs and STAAR Reading Assessments
Please be sure to review the google document with testing accommodations. There have been changes from ARDS. Some changes are in the document and some are not. It is the responsibility of ALL to ensure that correct accommodations are in place for the students we serve. I also need your input about test administrators who can support each group. First CBA coming up is 4th grade writing this Wed., Feb. 4.

Partners in Education
Please remember to use this link throughout the year to record any donors and partnerships. If you have guest speakers to your classroom or gradelevel, record the activity. Guest speakers would be recorded as partners rather than donors. Recording this information is an important piece of our accountability and allows our partners to be recognized for all they do for us.
