EOY Testing/Plans for Support Staff
Some assessors/support staff will be back in classrooms Tuesday. Others will be returning Wednesday. Please talk with your support staff colleague to learn about their return to normal scheduling for the remainder of this week.
PTA Check Reimbursements Deadline!! Please turn in receipts/requests for PTA funds by May 15th. Requests for things purchased from May 15 - June 8 - need to be turned in by June 12th.
- Testing as a Genre: Testing as a Genre begins in all 3-5 classrooms and with support staff on May 14th. We discussed this prior to Spring Break. Here are the details. Please review. If you are a support staff member working with a grade level during Math/ELA week, please make plans to attend their PLC this week!
Supervision is always critical, however, with end of year excitement in full effect...it is more critical than ever! Please supervise well and make sure all your duties are covered.
- Planning for 18-19 : It is almost time for me to begin working with the district office on allotments for next year. Please let me know ASAP if you are planning to retire or resign so that I can plan accordingly for filling vacancies. Even if you are just considering a change it would still help to know. My goal is to give you information about next year as soon as possible and this information is always helpful when planning.
End of Year Survey
Your voice matters! Please fill out this survey when you have time between now and the end of the year.
