Highlights
Training Little Humans Amber Hayhurst has been sharing her blogposts on Mondays with the staff. Thank you for the encouragement, perspective, and strength you provide in your blog. You are a gifted writer and we thank you for sharing it with us. https://traininglittlehumans.wordpress.com/2015/12/13/strong/ | DEF Grants Congratulations to first and fourth grade for receiving DEF Grants. 1st grade will be getting Osmo for the iPads. Fourth grade will be getting standing desks. Will be fun to see how these items impact your students. | Teacher of the Month Congratulations Robyn Mahoney for being recognized at the school board meeting on Monday night. She has graciously taken on many tasks in the past few years including AR Reading, prizes for AR and UIL coordinator. She also wrote a GoFundMe grant for tablets. She wanted her dyslexia students to have access to Learning Ally which she enrolled all our dyslexia students in this school year. The grant title was "Access for All" and that is now going to happen thanks to her efforts.

DRA- Middle of the Year Testing (Kinder-5th grade)
Please finish all MOY (Middle of Year) DRA testing over the next two . You do have the option to not test students that are above grade-level for the MOY for your grade. If you have time, I would DRA all students to confirm growth and make sure they are in the correct guided reading book group. All DRA MOY and task (word) analysis need to be completed by our January 21 & 22 RtI meetings. If you need a 1/2 day of coverage, please schedule with Melba or Sheryl to cover your class.
