Student Homework Survey
We are going to be collecting student feedback on homework through the survey linked below.
3-5th grade teachers, please give this survey to your students either Thursday June 1st or Friday June 2nd. Let me know if you have any questions.
Here is the link to the student survey.
Principal's Council
This will be held at BOES this upcoming week.
Chromebook Collection
We need to start collecting Chromebooks this week and next at the latest. Please communicate to your parents the exact date that you want them returned. Just like last year, you or your aide will enter into the provided spreadsheet the Chromebook Number and also indicate if the charger was returned. I am asking all parents to clean them but if not, we will provide wipes for the kids to clean them. Once you have collected them please have your class bring them to the school library where they will be stored over the summer. Here is the Google sheet .
End of the Year Checkout
For those of you who are new, we do an End of the Year Checkout to ensure that we leave the campus in the best shape possible for custodians over the summer and for us to be as organized as possible for the upcoming school year. This form needs to be completed and checked off by me before you leave for the summer.
Here you will find the Teacher Checkout Form
If you have any questions please let me know.
Class Placements
I have provided you with spreadsheets with preliminary class placements based on IEPs and parent input. Below are the expected numbers as of today.
I know you know, but anything can change at any moment.
Final Intruder Drill
We will be having our final intruder drill on June 1st. I know 2nd grade will be off campus, but the district decided we still needed to do it and this is one of our only open days. We will not be given an exact time of the drill but it will take place between 10am -1pm.
All classified staff especially our CSA's will be notified of this as well.
We will run it like a lock down. The sheriff will show up in my office at an unannounced time and we will go into a lock down with an announcement over the intercom. They will be checking doors like normal. The biggest difference is that students will likely be at recess or lunch. The CSAs are going to be responsible for getting them into the nearest classroom.
if you want to chat more about this, please come find me and we can chat in person.
iReady Testing
We will be administering the third i-Ready diagnostic right after state testing. The window is currently set for 5/15-6/02. Similar to the 2nd Diagnostic, it must be assigned. You can follow these steps to assign it.
To prepare for the upcoming Diagnostic, we recommend:
Sharing the Preparing for a Subsequent Diagnostic presentation with your students so you can energize and motivate them.
Have data chats with students to empower them to do their best.
Plan celebrations that recognizing the growth your students have made this year:
Visit the i-Ready Central® Engage Students page, where you can find things like these great Student Certificates for recognizing growth.
Visit the i-Ready Central Ideas page for resources and inspiration, such as this way to Celebrate Student Growth, or this i-Ready Celebration Board.
Even if you’ve done these things before, it’s always important to remind students of expectations and why it’s important to try their best. For all tips and tools to help you prepare for the Diagnostic, visit i-ReadyCentral.com/GetGoodData.
