This and That
Schedules and Timeliness
Schedules have gotten a little loose lately! Please be mindful of your schedule. Many people use those schedules to determine their services for groups or their own schedules. 2-3 minutes extra outside can throw someone else's day off. Being 5-10 minutes late could mean students are not getting their services, whether IEP, Title 1, or ELL as they need. If your schedule has changed for any reason, please communicate that with all those who serve your students and the office.
JCPS Foundation Grants
You can find the link to the JCPS Foundation Grants directly below this box of text. Please consider submitting a grant for supplies or professional development for yourself, your team, or our school. If you want help or to see an example of a successful grant, please let me know!
Monitoring iReady
Now that licenses are assigned, it is the classroom teacher's responsibility to monitor that licenses are being used. Students who have licenses should know when they can login for their iReady minutes. Encourage not just the amount of time, but the quality of time on lessons (meaning HIGH pass rate).
Classroom Doors and Valuables
Classroom doors should be locked when you are not in your classroom. Chromebooks carts that are stored in the hallway should be locked when not in use. Personal items should be put away, and if possible locked.
SMART Board Filters
Clean at least once a week - FILTER FRIDAY! If you have not cleaned them yet - do so! If you don't know how - ask Jen Bearden for help!
Adult Restrooms
Keep the adult restrooms shut and locked at all times!
Grades in Infinite Campus
Put in grades twice a month (approximately the 15th and 30th).
Birthday and Lounge Duty
School Success Squad assigned birthday treats and lounge duty for the year. If your grade level or team is on the duty for the month, please also have your students make some art work or cards for our business partners (Scholastic, Missouri River Regional Library, and Oasis United Church of Christ). The schedule is included below.
Help for Billy
Read Chapters 4 and 5 in Help For Billy.
Be ready to discuss some questions with a small group of staff members.
Belair School Improvement Goals With Current Data
- Beginning of the Year Data: 37% of students are reading on or above grade level at the Beginning of the Year iReady assessment.
- Current Data: 51% of students have showed growth according to GRL from beginning of the year to current levels and 62% of students are on or above grade level according to current GRL.
Increase the number of students on or above grade level in math, according to the iReady assessment, from 66% to 75% at the end of the year.
- Current data: 19% of students are on or above grade level at the Beginning of the Year iReady assessment.
Decrease the number of major office referrals by using SAEBRS data to identify students for social, emotional, or other at risk factors, and providing interventions appropriate for those students.
Current data: Number of office referrals in 2018-2019 from beginning of the year through end of November was 125. Number of office referrals in 2019-2020 from beginning of year through end of November was 38.
Students being served through a Tier 2 intervention:
December Team Updates
Instructional Rounds continue with Mrs. Carel.
Leadership Team will continue the discussion of Instructional Rounds staff to staff.
Lunchroom discussion continued. If you have ideas of how to make the lunch room work better for 2020-2021, please inform your Leadership Team representative.
School Success Squad:
STEM Night was a success! 90 families checked in and 75 completed a survey. Majority of families had an awesome time! Santa pictures have been shared via Facebook and will go out in an email to families this week.
Next Parent Involvement Night will be in March 2020.
Belair Cares has two events coming up! December 19 is a Christmas Light/Limo Ride trip. RSVP went out a few weeks ago.
January 10 is the Belair Staff Christmas Party. We will play the Lottery Ticket Game! Bring snacks to share and 3 $1 Lottery Tickets per person. All are welcome to attend!
Social Emotional Learning Team:
CICO - We have several students on CICO! Please turn in your data sheets to BHillis at the end of each week. If you have a student who would benefit from CICO, see your SEL Team member for more information.
SEL Team has worked hard on a processing plan flow chart for staff. Flow chart will be sent out in a separate email.
We looked at our Fall SAEBRS information. It is located in our SEL Team Folder in Google Drive if you would like to see classroom/individual student information.
Discipline data discussed. Below is a snapshot of our Triangle Report thus far for this school year. 95% of students have 0-1 referrals. 3.8% of students have 2-5 referrals, and 0.46% of students have 6 or more referrals. Great job on Tier 1 process and procedures! We have great students and staff at Belair!
