from J-
It was great to see you at job alike following winter break. I'm looking forward to the meaningful impact our team will make in 2019!
Next week information will be coming to your concerning Care to Learn's Shop with a Hero. Walmart grants were limited this year, so the event will be limited compared to years past. But I am grateful that both CTL and Walmart will continue to provide what they are able to. Please be thinking about two students at your site who may have returned from Christmas without essential needs and could use a hand up. The Shop with a Hero event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb 2.
Have a wonderful week!

Mid-Year Learning Discussions
We had some great dialogue on Wednesday about our mid-year data and how we can use it to drive instructional change, foster collaboration within our building teams, and lead celebration of the great work taking place at our schools. A link to the MOY charts we discussed during the i-Ready round table can be found HERE. As your team begins to dig into your building and grade-level data the opportunity exists to drive conversations towards these essential questions:
· What do we expect students to learn?
· How do we know if they are learning it?
· What do we do if they are not?
· What do we do if they are?
Our leadership in asking the right questions and giving teams latitude to seek out and implement those strategies that are yielding the best results among their colleagues will allow us to continue to grow and improve learning results for all students. Thanks for the work you do to lead your teams and use our learning data to shed light on where we are having great success and where we need to keep growing.
AP Cadre

Core Data
The Official count day is on 1/30/19, we need to ensure accuracy of enrollment and withdrawal to achieve an official count of our students. Here are some things to remember:
- Enrollment = If the student attended one hour of one day, they should be enrolled and scheduled
- Withdrawal = If a student has been absent for 20 consecutive days or considered a “no-show”, they should be withdrawn
NOTE: For students registered to your building as the home school, but attending an alternative program (AIMS, Study Alternative, Middle College, PALS, Solutions, etc.) or for out-of-district students going to Phelps, only enrolling/withdrawing the students is needed. The staff at AIMS, Study Alternative, Middle College and PALS will assign the Program, Homeroom and Course Schedules for these students.
In the process of enrollment cleanup, we will be taking a close look at attendance as this will help with our enrollment counts and attendance numbers for core data.
