Important Notes
Just a reminder that United Way forms are due to Michelle. Even if you do not choose to contribute, ALL forms must be returned (write on the form that you do not choose to contribute). Payroll deductions rollover from year to year. If you wish to discontinue, you must write that on the form and sign it.
- We will begin some of the summer reading celebrations this week. Look for the schedule within the upcoming dates and the link below for the master list of students.
- We have so many teacher requesting off on October 11th. At this point, all jobs for that day will have to be put in the sub system or possibly be split among your team.
iReady
- Tracking Sheets-thank you for completing these with your students (see Kellam if you need additional copies). If you have not yet had individual conversations with each student about their first diagnostic, now is the time! While students are working on their weekly 45 minutes, utilize that time to pull each student for a quick chat. Keep it positive, the goal is for student awareness and for each student to have a feel good moment with their teacher (relationship building).
