Face Painting Fun!!
High School Art students were AWESOME!
Enjoyment for all!
Collaboration is OFFICIAL!!
PTA is helping me coordinate a Collaboration Day on Friday, November 2nd!! Woohoo!! This will be a block of time for you to work as a team to go over your DLA data, plan your Literacy groups across classes, and enter your 1st 9 weeks RtI info in eSTAR. The schedule is as follows and I'll send you the student rotations and locations as soon as they are finalized!!! I will ask Amy and Janet to be available for both blocks to help with data and RtI info. Specials rotations will be normal on this day. We will do an alternate schedule for one day the following week (TBD) to allow the specials teachers some collaboration time. Collaboration time is NOT a time for you to leave campus for appointments. It's a work time! Please tell PTA thanks when you see them as they are coordinating the activities for the students! Wenzel, Dodson and an office staff person will help cover the three student locations.
8:45 - 11:10 will be 2nd, 3rd and 5th teachers
12:20 - 2:45 will be Kinder, 1st and 4th teachers
GRADES ARE DUE!!
Please make sure ALL contents that you are responsible for have 9 GRADES and that each one has 2 MAJOR GRADES in the 9. Rosie will pull the report at 8am on Monday, October 22, 2018, and it's difficult when we have to come hunt down people to make corrections.
Honor's Assembly and Spirit Sticks
Please fill in this first nine week's spirit stick info and principal's/values awards for this first nine weeks. I shared the document with you on Friday. PTA will be here to sort tags on Wednesday. 2nd through 5th please send reminders about Honor's Assembly on Friday--2nd / 3rd at 1:45; 4th/5th @ 8am. Sandra and Kalisha are going to arm wrestle to see who gets to do the assemblies for me since I will be out that day!!
