Tuesday @ Alta Vista
Mid-Week Info
COUGAR PRIDE ASSEMBLY
- Tomorrow's assembly will take place immediately after lunch, so please remember to have students pack up before lunch. We'll do a similar seating arrangement as last month, creating a "stage" for students to be recognized.
- Leslie will take a picture of our Growth Mindset students in the courtyard outside my office. Hopefully, I'll remember to tell them to meet there at the end of the assembly.
- Please remind students to wear their new Alta Vista tee-shirts or other spirit wear tomorrow (and for all of our Cougar Pride assemblies).
WRITERS WORKSHOP
- We are cancelling tomorrow's Writers Workshop training to allow time for grade level collaboration or conference preparation.
- The Writers Workshop professional development will be moved to TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17TH @ 3:00. This was originally planned as School Advisory meeting, but we will instead consider it a staff meeting and will reschedule the SAT meeting. Please mark this on your calendars.
- If you haven't already done so, fill out this form to invite the District Office to your publishing celebration. I know you have some wonderful plans in place, so let's share the news.
- One last tidbit -- I know you are starting to wrap up your current Writers Workshop Unit of Study, meeting the roll-out requirement. I'd like you to consider extending your integration of the program into future writing genres. Next year, we will be fully implementing Writers Workshop, so this is your chance to continue the wonderful work you're doing, while exploring the other units of study.
CLASSROOM WALK THROUGHS
Sarah Jellin and I will be walking though some classrooms on Thursday morning. No need to stop what you're doing. I just wanted to let you know to expect us.
