Afterwards, teams will break into grade levels to work on SLO input/scoring and/or Topic Data and upcoming testing. I will be around to check to see where each team is at for this week.
**This upcoming week, I will be meeting with teams during your weekly collab time.
I do ask that as you complete and score your mid-check SLO you enter your data into the form and the individual score sheet that shows individual student growth.
** I will be asking each grade to give me the bands of where your students scored in the mid-check, as we did last time.
**As well as the overall percentage of those that reached their SLO Goal at the mid-check. This will be added to our SIP data, and I will check with each team for a deadline for each set of data.

Staff Brag
A huge shout out to Bobbi Martin and Brandy Van de Riet for taking our data and working on it for our upcoming Winter Star Window, to help guide us in goal setting. This work as well as the efforts that have gone into our RtI work and data has been a lot of extra time they have spent dedicated to our kids. Thank you Ladies!!
Star Staff for the Week- be sure to use your Reserved Space for Parking!
This next week our two spots will be dedicated to our Coaches Bobbi Martin and Brandy Van de Riet. They take a lot of time across the district working to implement best practices within classrooms, as well as testing, and handing out hugs to our kiddos from K up to 5th. We love you ladies and all you do for all of our kids district wide.
