LME Friday Focus
10/14/16
What a Rally!
We exceeded our goal this year by 500! Considering how far we were behind compared to other years, that was an amazing feat. Thank you all for helping make this happen. Due to the number of donations still coming in today, we won't be able to draw tickets until Monday. The PTO will process all the donations this weekend so kids can find out the winners.
Targeted Services
We have busing for students around Route 5 for Targeted Services. We also have numerous staff members teaching it. Thank you. Students will begin Tuesday, Oct. 25th at 8:15. They are allowed to have breakfast but it is only free if they qualify for FRP. This work aligns to our School Improvement Plan.
PLC's and SAT Days Changed
Beginning Oct. 24th, PLC's will be on Mondays. Specialists and Special Ed may need to do some rearranging but this change allows Targeted Services on Tues-Thurs. SAT is moving from Mondays to Fridays after the 24th as well.
TDE 1-1's
We need to schedule each teacher's 1-1 goal setting meeting by Nov 4th. It will take 15 minutes. If you are happy with your goals, email me and I can review. Year 3 teachers, I will get your evals going after 2nd quarter begins.
Food for Thought
I am the beginning of the end, the end of every place. I am the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. What am I?
Want to learn about Seesaw?
On Wednesday, Oct. 19th, Mark and Stacey, with the help of other teachers, will lead a training and Q and A about using Seesaw. Feel free to come to the Media Center at 8:20 to learn more.
More Opportunities
On Nov. 4th, Mark, Stacey and I will be offering several tech "sessions" around Google, makerspaces and other items. This is strictly voluntary and only if you're interested. You have grades and plenty of other things to be doing but if you want to pop over for an hour if something sounds good, stop by the Media Center. More info will come in the next couple weeks.
Literacy Walkthroughs
We are having our fall literacy walkthroughs next week. Stacey and I will do one set. Wade LaBatt and Patty Johnson from OHE will do the other. These will be 5 minutes per room to get a snapshot for future PD and curriculum needs. If you want to see what we will be filling out, click here. Please do not fill it out.
