Winter Breakfast
Please be aware of the activities planned for your classroom. The idea is that it is a winter party so that all students can participate. Be sure to communicate with your families of students with religious exception to holiday parties to ensure activities that might be planned are not objectionable to them.
Following the breakfast you should plan to have "read in" type of activities. We will have shortened special class and lunch in the rooms with dismissal to begin at noon.
SRI Testing
Things to know or do before Christmas Break
- Clean the filters in your projectors!
- The second quarter grade card window is open beginning at 7:00 am on Friday, December 18 and closes at 7:00 am on Wednesday, January 6.
- Monday, January 4 is our Professional Development Day. We will meet in the library to get organized at 8:00 am. I will have something for breakfast available at about 7:45 am in the lounge. We may need to start with some ICLE data from our surveys, but I will learn more about that next week. I'd also like to show grades 3-5 the data from the CDT tests we are giving. Otherwise...we are going to continue to match our instruction with the standards!
- I will send a newsletter out over the break with information about the week of January 4.
- Brag Tag information will be put in your mailbox over the holiday break. The end of the quarter is December 22.
Reminders
- Weekly entries should be made into Infinite Campus in each subject area.
- Be sure to keep your websites up-to-date!
- I would like copies of all classroom newsletters. These can be sent to me electronically or a paper copy in my mailbox.
- Please continue to use the clip up tickets, Safe, Respectful, and Responsible Compliment cards (or verbal compliments) keeping the 4:1 in mind!
