Get Whitt it!
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

It's not a sad goodbye, it's a joyous see you later!
A new chapter has presented itself in the form of a precious grand baby girl and she has decided, albeit with some emotion, to step down in December.
While we are incredibly sad to see her go, and know what a HUGE legacy she leaves behind, we're excited about the role she is going to get to play with her family moving forward!
She'll be working closely with her replacement (who is yet to be determined!) to ensure a smooth transition. We will notify parents this week, in addition to scheduling an AMAZING retirement celebration!
Friendly WIN time reminders…
- · WIN time should have started the first week of October.
- · Please make sure the spreadsheet is completed, this is how we’re following up on your meets to masters kiddos.

- · We introduced WIN time last year as an opportunity to push our masters level/adv kiddos. You are still MORE than welcome to have a tutorial session afterschool, but WIN time was not intended for students who are struggling. (that sounds terrible, but we have that analogy of the medicine cup vs the milk jug to help frame that better!) If this first round (through the end of November are students who needed gaps filled or who are new and needed just a bit extra to get caught up that is ok, but moving forward, we’re looking at this as an enrichment window.
Celebrations!
Thanks!

Morgan's Musings
RTI Follow Up Meetings
Follow-up meetings are about to start happening. A few reminders:
-Please ensure that ALL progress monitoring documents/charts/etc are uploaded into Aware. Don't know how? Ask me!
-These PM docs are reviewed at every follow-up meeting to check progress. We cannot assess where a kiddo is/if they have grown if they are not there.
-Make sure parents were invited to the meeting. If they declined or you could not reach them, make a note of that and keep it. Remind them that most parents do not come to these as they are very brief AND all progress updates are sent home.
-Send home the progress updates (email/call/note) after each follow-up meeting. We do not have a template for this, so use what you wish! Want me to make a template? I can!
