McIntire Elementary School
Mission: High Levels of Learning for ALL!
February 10, 2019
~ Notes ~
Mentor/Mentee Observation Times Available This Week:
- Let me know ASAP so we can get this in the sub plans.
- Wednesday, February 13th 9:10-10, 12:40-1:30, 2:20 - 3:10
Parent-Teacher Conferences
- Students on IEPs, 504s, Reading Plans, SWPBS Tier 2 or Tier 3 should be on closed conference days.
- This is really a mid-term conference. This gives us a chance to talk with parents and students so that students can get on track.
- If there is a retention question or thought, parents need to be informed at this conference. I also need to know and we need to have discussed this. (K & 1, come to see me Monday during plan so we can touch base.)
- Please give one printed copy to Debbie/Julia.
- Please email a view only copy to Kacie, Me. SpEd, Reading, Whitley.
- If you want admin in attendance, send a calendar invitation so we have it scheduled. (We have invitations from Morgan and Rachel. Any others?)
Math & Reading Data Teams
Weather keeps canceling our Wednesday common plan. Please make sure you are pre-testing, planning together for what kids need, post-testing, planning for what kids need, ..... When we finally have our meetings, everyone will still be on track.
NEE Evaluations
- I have to get observations in. Ideally, I don’t like to do these the day after snow days, days when there are changes in the schedule. However, I have to get them in. Please remember to come to see me the day after your observation for F2F feedback. Come during your plan or I am usually at school by 7:20 & stay until 5:30 most nights. (This week is a little weird bc David is in Denver & Mason can’t drive yet.)
- The NEE teacher surveys have been scheduled for each building principal. They opened on 2/5/19 at 6:00 AM and close on 2/15/19 at 11:59 PM. Please take time to complete this, so that I know what to focus on. This year I was able to focus on specific areas when I went to PD. This information is used in my evaluation and it helps me know how to get better. Directions were sent last week. The PDF is below.
January & February PD Days
- Please, take the time to finish your site visit reflection sheet & share to our shared folder. We will all have time to share upcoming faculty meetings and PD days. I love reading these.
- On Friday, we will have about an hour and a half together to work before people have to start heading to FHS for the health fair screenings. The agenda will be shared in advance. Get your creative juices flowing & share your 2019-2020 Building Theme ideas so we can decide our theme on Friday. (In time for requisitions!)
Walmart Orders
- Use this to plan ahead so you are not paying out of pocket for science materials. Please check this link which explains how to get your Walmart orders placed. You will need to plan ahead. Shipping is pretty quick but it is not overnight.
Last Minute AM Coverages
Many mornings there are a lot of changes in coverage overnight and early morning due to illnesses or emergencies.
Please:
- If you feel sick in the PM, call Kelly services. It's easier to cancel coverage than to find it.
- Continue to text me, Kacie, and your team when you call in or when you are running late.
- Also, if you need AM coverage send an email to McIntire News asking for help or have a teammate cover for you.
- Plan accordingly for winter weather or road work.
- If you don't have morning coverage or morning meetings, please watch for coverage emails and reply all to cover someone with a last minute emergency.
Coffee, Soda, Water
If you have not donated $10ish dollars, please pay to Debbie/Julia at your earliest convenience so that we can purchase the fridge and help pay for coffee and water while the soda fund builds back up.
Summer School
- Summer school will be held at McIntire this year. It has been a few years since we have housed summer school. We will keep you up to date so that you know how to prepare/pack your classrooms.
- Kacie and Holly will be the administrators for summer school.
- Summer School Recommendation Forms are ready for conference night.
- K-2 Reading - You probably want to recommend SS to - students with 1s on their report cards; students who are red on DIBELS (wpm - 2nd grade, nwf - K-1); students who are below the 50th percentile on STAR reading; students whose DRA is more than a semester behind.
- 3-5 Per state law, extended programming is “required” for anyone on a reading plan. So you would make the recommendation for BJB & summer school. Others you probably want to recommend SS to - students with 1s on their report cards; students who are red on DIBELS wpm; students who are below the 50th percentile on STAR reading.
- K-5 Summer school Math - I’d recommend for students below the 50th percentile on STAR & students with 1s on report cards.
