District Update--Principal's Meeting notes
- Pending board approval the Ignite initiative will expand to include 2nd grade next year. 2nd grade ipads will be redistributed to 1st and K.
- Sub shortages--Penmac is working hard to keep up with our sub requests--several days this past week we have requested more than 400 subs. If your sub is for a personal day, building or district PD you need to enter it as soon as you are given the date. Subs entered last minute are the ones that are tough to fill. HR sent an email that stated last minute requests for these kinds of things are not acceptable. What this means for you is that we may not be able to allow you to attend when a sub is entered last minute.

Professional Learning Day--
We will try this again:) Don't do a rain dance! Dress for the weather!
We will meet at Rountree at 8:20 and carpool to the Leadership Ranch for an abbreviated team building time from 9-11. This is a great culminating activity to our strengths learning this year!
We will meet for lunch (if you have an idea on place please share) and then head back to the building for an afternoon of work time.
Last staff meeting of the year is scheduled for May 1
MAP Resources
Students need to be spending time in using the MAP tools!
As a reminder, there are many MAP resources to help students prepare for the state assessment. These resources will allow teachers to practice using the online tools and view sample released items. The resources can be found in Canvas>CIA>Assessments>K-5>MAP Resources.
