Preparing for the Reading Cycle
Ms. Fowlkes, Ms. Plambeck, and I will be doing a Reader's Workshop Learning Walk on 10/23.
We will take the data collected from your self-assessments and from our walk through to help guide the next steps for Reading that we will take on in our PD.

Absence Protocol- Review Required
This is a reminder of the absence protocol:
1) Put in all absences into the sub. system as soon as you know you will be absent.
2) If you are submitting absences in advance, please check the sub system to make sure that the absence has been entered and a sub. has picked it up.
3) Complete absence paperwork and give to Ms. Warren the day you return to school.
4) If you are taking a personal day, this must be requested in writing in advance.
In addition, I'm adding a new procedure which I will review with staff at our staff meeting on Monday:
Due to the shortage in subs, if you are calling in sick, please text or email me and Ms. Plambeck and the office staff that morning so we can make sure your sub. shows up and your children are not left on the yard waiting.
This is to happen EVEN If you think you have a sub. coming as we are routinely having subs. cancel the morning of a job or not showing up at all and this creates a lot of chaos for your class and support staff who scramble to cover your students.
Earthquake Drill- Great California ShakeOut, 10/19
Please review the procedure with your students in advance.
