Monday Memo
AAA News You Can Use-January 19
Instructional Rounds=Success!
Thank you for being prepared and organized for Instructional Rounds. The participants were able to gather a wealth of information and provided some great feedback for us as we move into our next level of work. Mrs. Small, Ms. Edgecombe and I will be sharing some of our next steps in individual meetings and grade level meetings. I will also dedicate some time on our half day-January 29-to go into detail about the findings and suggested strategies.
Common Planning Times
We will not have PLCs meeting this week as a group. Mrs. Small and Ms. Edgecombe will continue individual data meetings with teachers.
We will be on track the week of January 25 to hold RtI PST meetings. I encourage you to take a close look at your STAR data this week to determine which students can fade from RtI and which students may need to be added.

Don' Forget and Things To Do!
- Laptops, chargers and HDMI cords should be locked up when not in use. Teachers and students are responsible for the loss if not placed in a secure location.
- Create an OmniFund account. You can do this from the HCS home page.
- We are excited about the Coke machine in the workroom. Please remember NO STUDENTS should have access to the machine. Do not send students to get drinks.
- Food and drinks should stay in the cafeteria. Many students are saying that teachers tell them it is ok to bring breakfast for lunch to the room. At this time, we are not equipped for Breakfast in the Classroom so don't encourage students to bring items to the pod or classrooms.
- From Dr. Summerville: Snack and recess cannot be taken away from students as a form of discipline. Update: up to 5 minutes of recess can be taken
- Mark your calendar for Wellness Screening on Feb 17. Nurse Hanks will provide more details soon.
- Make sure you have added evidence to EDAL for Nov, Dec and Jan.
