PT Primary Points to Ponder
Week of October 7 "The Greatest School on Land and Sea"
RtI
The RtI meetings scheduled for Monday, October 7 and Friday, October 11 purpose is for us to know where every child is academically and socially at the nine week period. It is extremely important to me that we do not let time slip by and have surprises. It is all of our responsibility to ensure that all students in need of TIER 2 and TIER 3 intervention receive it. In addition, 85% of our students must be successful in the classroom with TIER 1. December is too late to get our TIER 1to 85%...that has to be happening now.
Please come to RtI with the following:
- Updated Data in RtI spreadsheet (if you don't have time, bring your paper version and we will type it in during meeting....do not stress about this!)
- Data Notebook (make sure your F&P testing page is included so we can look for reading behaviors)
- Share one strength of each student and one area of growth
You will notice in our events calendar that sharing of students is coming up however some of you have already started sharing because that is what we do at the Primary. We will be adding a column for that in RtI
Thank you all for knowing your students!

CoGat Practice
It is very important that our kids practice for the CoGat before we test. We want all kids to have the same opportunities to do their best. Remember we aren't teaching the test we are just exposing them to the type of questions they will see. CoGat provides these resources for us.
