WIDA Testing
We are wrapping up testing and trying to catch absent students needing to test. Liz is the lead for this and had been following up with kids needing to test. So far students have done a great job!
Assembly on Thursday- Chevy Cortez
We will have Chevy Cortez here to share his story with students and begin working with Stanton students. He has done outreach all over the valley and has a great way of connecting with students.

Monday Plan/School Wide Strategy
Thank you for engaging in the book study last week and sharing your initial thoughts. We are going to continue working our way through the book, engaging in the strategy and begin to look at our content standards and frameworks. There are so many positive things to highlight and we will continue coming together as a whole staff to support each other in this work.
Reminder: School wide strategy data will be uploaded on 2/28!
Evaluation Reminders/Growth Goals
Just a reminder that we will be completing another cycle of observations in all classrooms. It is also a good idea to begin to upload any evidence that you would like to be looked at by your evaluator. If you need any help, please reach out to myself or Kevin.
SIP Plan Review and Accreditation Process
SIP- We just have our mid-year review from OSPI on our SIP plan. The feedback was positive and supportive for the work that we are currently doing here. I have attached a copy of our SIP plan for reference. Any member of ILT can speak to the work as all were involved in the creation.
Accreditation- We are in the 3rd year review currently with ESD. This process is a review of how we have progressed since the original approval. We are currently completing this document with the help of ILT, previous information and Liz. We will then share this information to a board and once approved we have three more years of being an accredited HS.
School Board Presentation 2/26
We will be hosting the school board meeting at Stanton on Monday 2/25 from 4-6. During this meeting I will be presenting to the board about all the positive things we are doing at Stanton. Anyone on our staff is more than welcome to attend this meeting. We will have ILT and students here to welcome members and be a part of the tour they take at then end. Our total time is probably about 30 min to present and take them on a tour.
Please let me know if you want your space highlighted during the tour.
Student Presentation Opportunity on Saturday 2/24
We are inviting students that are interested in cars and potentially exploring the automotive industry after HS. We will have a speaker that served in the Air Force for 10 years and then was professionally trained in building race engines. He has worked on some of the fastest cars built and wants to share his experience with our students.
We will be providing lunch and can pick up students that are wanting to attend.

Time: 12-2
Place: Stanton
