Student Learning Objectives
PLC Teams need to begin creating your SLO. Megan and Jeannie can be a great resource to help you.
Lunch Practice
Please continue to practice the signals for the lunch room with your class. This would be a great signal to use through out your day to keep consistency and increase proficiency of the students. Kinder shared they were using these signals during their RR break.
Fire Drill
Please have updated rosters for our announced Fire Drill on Monday at 9:30. Reminder if your students are in Specials, you will go and meet the Specials teachers during any drill or actual evacuation.
Raccoon TRACKS
We will meet this Wednesday at 3:30. There will be 2 sessions for you to choose:
Patterns of Power Follow up
K-2- Room 400
3-4 Room 401
Math Fact Fluency Follow-up
K-4- Library
Parent Conferences
We conduct parents conferences for all students prior to the Winter Break. This gives you time to get to know the students and then be able to share with parents. Please enter these parent conferences into View-It. You will go to their student page and under Communication choose Parents Contact. You may wish to share the ones that you would like Mrs. Sciba and myself to know about...you can do this by clicking the appropriate icon in the bottom left of the form.
