New Prospect Elementary School Staff Notes
Staff Spotlight
We have the absolute best Instructional Paraprofessionals at New Prospect! All of them could be the spotlight each month. This month, our spotlight is on Mrs. Amy Spann. There really are not enough words to describe Amy and the work she does at NPE. She is always willing to help anyone at this school. Students, teachers, parents, and other staff members…you ask her to help…and not only does she help but she checks in on you later to ask if you need help again. She exemplifies the most important part of our job, building relationships. She knows most of our students and their families even though she spends her days in Kindergarten. Those qualities added to her positivity and energy make her exceptional. We are so grateful that she is part of our NPE family and thank her for all she does each day!

"Words Their Way" PAWS PD
Do you have students with misconceptions about spelling? Do they know how to distinguish between vowels and consonants? Did you know that administering the Words Their Way inventory can help you pinpoint a student's area of need?
Come for a basic introductory lesson on how to administer, score, and recommend what level your students are ready to conquer in Words Their Way!
