INFO @ ALTA VISTA
MONDAY - WRITERS WORKSHOP MINI-LESSONS
On Monday, the Instructional Support ToSA team will be modeling mini-lessons at Alta Vista. It will give you a chance to see how to implement the structure of mini-lessons in your own classrooms. Earlier this week, Christy shared a document with details and a schedule for Monday. Please be sure to review the information, so that you are ready for the ToSA Takeover.
TUESDAY - SUPERINTENDENT VISIT
Denise and I will be visiting classrooms on Tuesday, between 8:30 and 10:00. We respect and value your instructional time, so we prefer to be (butter)flies on the wall - no introductions needed. Thanks.
FRIDAY - ANOTHER CLASSROOM VISIT
On Friday, I'll be walking through classrooms with Sarah Jellin and Mary Katayama (Carlton's principal). Again, no need to stop instruction or provide any introductions. We'll be in and out of rooms between 8:30 and 10:30, with a hope of hitting each classroom.
CLASSROOM VISIT #3
On Monday, September 16th, teachers from Oster and UMS, along with DO staff will be visiting AV classrooms between 8:30 and 10:00. This provides valuable insight for School Leadership Teams as they support teachers at their schools. Members of Alta Vista's School Leadership Team will be visiting school on September 23rd.
PHOTOS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Thank you to everyone who has been posting pictures and updates on Twitter and other platforms. The community loves to get a glimpse into your classrooms! Please remember to exclude anything that identifies a student's name, such as a paper heading or name tag, to protect everyone's privacy.
INTERVENTIONS ON A PAGE (IOAP)
Don't forget - You have easy access to all of the key information on IEPs, 504s, and Behavior Intervention Plans through Google Drive. The one-page summaries are housed in grade level folders: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You can also access the information via our Team Alta Vista website hub.
LUNCH TIME CLEAN UP
TECH TIP OF THE DAY
How to share sub-plans electronically - We have a Google account for substitute teachers. If you share your digital sub-plan with this account Lisa can help the substitute teacher to use the links in your plan for online lessons. You can share Google Doc sub plans with this account: avsubs@unionsd.org. Please also share the plans with Vicki and Lisa. Vicki will print out the plan and Lisa will provide a MacBook to the sub. Lisa also have written instructions for the subs to log in and view the plans. When the sub arrives Lisa will make sure they have a MacBook and the printed instructions for logging in. This should be an efficient way to share links and other information with your subs. More information below. Please let Lisa know if you have any questions.
Details:
Go to AV Shared/Technology/Alta Vista Substitute Google Docs Info if you want to see or print the instructions for subs.
Please use this naming convention for the sub plans you plan to share (Ex: Hammer 10/23/19) This is what Lisa have in her instructions.
Share your sub plans with Vicki, AVSubs and Lisa M
