Shout Outs
#EbinportLiftsMe because when I was out of the office for a couple of hours last Monday morning, the Administrative and Office staffs stepped up with a "complicated order" and took care of things - especially Lisa Beard and Tracy McClain. Also, in the middle of it all, Tracy printed the school report cards for the first time - Way to go, Tracy! KimB.
Thank you for just being you, Sara Sawczuk!
Thank you for observing, coaching, and following-up with me the next day, Marco. Your help is appreciated.

Jump Up Day
All fifth graders will attend a Jump Up Day this year. The purpose of Jump Up Day is to prepare students for the transition to middle school. All middle schools will structure this day the same and will give the same information to all students. Children may not attend Jump Up Day at their zoned school or their desired school of choice. Ms. Parks has permission slips and the list of which students will attend each Jump Up Day that she will send to teachers. The following days are our Jump Up Days.
February 12: Sullivan Middle School
February 13, Dutchman Creek Middle School
February 19: Rawlinson Road Middle School.

Accountability Information
While we are all responsible for building foundational science knowledge, this decision places extra stress on our 4th-grade team. This means that 1/3 of these 10 points on our report card rest on Ms. Laura Davis' class science scores and 2/3 of these points will come from Mrs. Rasmusson's class science scores. Please join me in supporting these teachers and the weight this puts on them.

School Garden
As it starts to get warmer, we would encourage you to think about how your grade level can use the Ebinport Garden. The school received approximately $900 last year to help refurbish the garden. We spent $400 to purchase class sets of supplies (gloves, watering cans, hand trowels, and so forth). We have a little over $500 that can be spent on purchasing plants or seeds. We are also exploring the idea of a sensory garden in one of the beds to provide another option for students in crisis who may benefit from a cool-down break outside. If you are interested in getting your grade level involved in any way, let Tanner know so he can get the materials that you need ordered.
Student Retention (Outside of R2S)
Timeline
- Send Mrs. Kelsey, via email, the name of possible retention students.
- Send Retention Letter #1 home to parents with a proposed conference date and time.You may get this from Mrs. Kelsey.
- Follow up with the parents regarding the scheduled meeting to confirm.
- Let them know that you will meet again after Spring Break to check progress. They will receive a 2nd letter.
- Meet shortly after Spring Break if needed.
- Make a final decision the last 2 weeks of school. For this meeting, make a decision together with the parent.
