Suwanee Express
Week of October 28th
YES, our first big shout out goes to our awesome teachers! You did it! Fall Early Release Conferences were a huge success. You put in some long days, and the parents were singing your praises. I appreciate all you do everyday. Thank you for putting so much time, effort, and heart into conferencing with each parent.
We have our Spooky treat on Thursday morning, and a great week ahead of us. Let's make it faBOOlous! :)

Practice Hard Lock Down Drill
On Friday, November 1st we will have our Practice Hard Lock Down Drill at approximately 10:15AM. It is important to review the details in your red bag about a Hard Lock Down Drill. Parents will be made aware of this drill because no check-outs will be allowed during this time, and no access in the building will be permitted. The drill should last 10-15 minutes. 3rd grade will remain in Specials until the Hard Lockdown drill is lifted. 5th grade will not have recess at that time on Friday, please send me another time you would like to have recess. Thanks for your support in this important drill.
News from Ms. Katie Sample!
It's time for Kid Talk Number 2.....We are changing the date from October 31 to the following Thursday, November 7th to accommodate all of the grade levels.
Things to talk about at the kid talk 2:
1. Review interventions and RTI data from students that had an initial Kid Talk (see kid talk 2 form)
2. Make decisions if a student needs to be referred to an SST because they are not making significant progress (See RTI referral form)
3. You also may decide to start the kid talk process on a different student.
I am attaching the Kid talk 2 form to have ready for the meeting and the RTI referral form (not necessary for the meeting, but when you are ready to schedule an SST this needs to put in my mailbox in the Bistro). The referral form lets me know to put it on the SST calendar.
Thank you,
Ms. Sample
