CCC STAFF UPDATE
12/2/18
Info for Everyone
- Holiday season is here! We are on the final stretch which seems to either take forever or go by in a flash! Just 3 short weeks until winter break. Stay hydrated and healthy and take the time to take care of yourself. There is nothing worse than finally starting vacation then getting sick!
- Winter Choir and Ukulele Performance is Tuesday 12/4. There is performance at 1:30pm and an evening performance at 6pm for families.
- Santa Shoppe: 12/5-7. There is a sign up sheet in the staff room if you'd like to bring your class for a preview. Shoppe will be open before and after school as well as during lunch. If students are shopping during lunch, they must have money to go over there. They shouldn't just be "looking" during that time.
- Lions Club Canned food drive ends on Thursday 12/6.
- Staff Holiday Party: Lori has graciously offered to host our ALL STAFF holiday party at her home this year. 12/20 @ 3pm, please bring a white elephant gift for an gift exchange, $15 limit. There is a sign up sheet in the staff room.
- STARSTRUCK: Starstruck is scheduled to start 1/8/19. Optional staff dance will take place on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 a.m. This year we will practice in portable H. The performance take place Tuesday 2/12 at Twelve Bridges Middle School. This year Teresa, Nicole and Rosanne are the "planners," with support from Lori and the office with ticket sales.
- Rainy Day procedures: Students have been doing a great job during lunch in the cafeteria. It can get loud but they are following rules and procedures. Please keep reinforcing their good behavior. It makes for a smoother lunch time. We know it can get loud in there, the acoustics in that room are not ideal for large groups, but we make it work.
- Lockdown Drill Scheduled 12/10/18
- Fire Inspection scheduled 12/17/18 from 1-4pm
- Fire Drill scheduled 12/18/18
- Weekly PBIS lessons: Please remember to teach your lesson by Tuesday. It is so helpful when everyone gets the same message. Are you remembering to hand out your ROAR tickets? This week's lesson is being respectful on the playground!
- Some reminders about confidentiality: when sending any type of communication home to families, please remember not to mention any other children by name, this includes notes, emails and behavior referrals. I've seen a few referrals lately that mention other students in the explanation. Please be careful. Also remember, our office and hallways have lots of visitors in them, when speaking about student matters, please step into a more private location to have your conversations so that others do not overhear.
- Safety reminders: Please remember to keep your doors locked at all times. When you are not in the room, please close your door and turn off the lights. If you are entering a room other than your own, such as the book room, OT room or Art Room, please make sure the door is locked and secure behind you by checking the knob and also pulling on the door. We've had some doors left unsecured lately.
- Did you know the Carlin C. Coppin calendar is updated regularly? You can find it on our website. If you are a staff member, you should also have access to it on your own google calendar. We are trying to keep it updated with whole school information. If you have something to add, let me know.
Teacher Central
- iReady diagostic #2 is here! The window will open on 12/3 and will remain open until we leave for winter break. Please plan well for student success. We want them to take this seriously! There are many great resources to help get organized and motivated on iReady central. Goal setting with students both individually and as a class can be great ways to motivate. I'm happy to support whole class goals with a class party of some kind. Please let me know how I can support.
- PLCs: You may use PLC time to make up any missed conferences from our school closure. Please let me know if your team is meeting or using the time to make up conferences. I also thank you for sharing your PLC notes with me weekly. If you don't already, please consider sharing digitally, it allows me to see them anywhere and I can respond and reply on the shared document which can be helpful. Are you beginning to discuss trimester 2 SMART goals? Is there some data I can dig up and/or generate for you? Let me know how I can help. Our next round of iReady testing will certainly provide some great info.
- PE minutes for November are due by Wednesday 12/5 please.
- Leadership Scheduled for 12/6 at 3pm
- Next Staff Meeting is scheduled for 12/11 @ 3pm
- Professional Development: There is funding to support attending workshops and conferences. Hit me up if you find something of interest to you.
- TOSAs: Remember we have some amazing TOSAs to use as a resource. They can work with you in a very wide variety of ways be it planning, demo lessons, covering your class to free you up to observe someone else, finding resources for you. All you need to do is reach out and ask them.
- UDL follow up: Remember, you can have Ashley Serin come and work with you individually on UDL implementation. She can come and plan with you or do a demo lesson in your room based on whatever lesson you have coming up. Let me know if you are interested individually or even as a grade level. We need to get some dates on the calendar for her, she fills up quickly!
- AVID: Organization is a key focus area for our AVID classes. They are making use of planners, binders and folders to stay organized. Do you have your college corner up in your classroom?
- MTSS: The team meets every Friday from 1:30-2:30. Do you have students that you have concerns with? Please let us know we are here to help. Team members are: Shamryn, Kimber, Corie and Jamie
