Aeries Gradebook Training

Teach-To's
This Monday and Tuesday August 14th and 15th, teachers will be providing instruction in the classroom and campus "Teach-to's" each Block. Just a reminder that these are formal lessons that take approximately 10-15 minutes to teach, and you want to make sure that students are involved in discussing the Positive, negative, and almost-but-not-quite examples for each procedure. It's also important that you model or have students model the positive behaviors. You can also post examples on chart paper or use your document camera to list them and have students take notes on them.
For the campus Teach-To's on Tuesday, we want to see the students practicing the procedures in the common areas.
Warrior Pride Spirit Assembly
A big shout out to Mr. Bjarke for leading our first spirit assembly of the school year. The games were awesome! Students had a lot of fun and it was a great way to start the year off and begin our competitions as tribes. I also want to thank our teachers for helping with the games and helping support and encourage students to show their school spirit.

Parent/Student handbooks are going to be delivered to you on Monday for you to distribute to your 7th Block class. Please remind students that they also need to return beginning of the year paperwork if they haven't already turned it in. Part of this includes their technology use agreement, and if it's not completed by Friday, they will not be allowed to use technology the following week and beyond.

Classroom Recycling
Our Leadership class recycles plastic bottles for the campus. We ask that you use the blue recycling trash can to collect any plastic bottles that students need to throw away. Please review this with your students. Also, please double check to make sure you have a blue recycling trash can in your classroom. If not, please let me know.
Syllabus
Just a reminder to please submit your course syllabus to me if you haven't already done so. These will be a reference for me in the event I need to refer to them in parent meetings to answer questions about grading or course requirements.
Late Start Wednesday
This Wednesday, we will have our first Late Start Wednesday time together. We will start out at 7:45 with our Circle of Support time, but for this one, we will meet in the conference room. The focus of our PLC time will be analyzing our SBAC data together and establishing our schoolwide focus areas. 6th grade will be leading our teambuilding activity for Circle of Support.
