Items to prepare to turn in as you pack your students' supplies etc.
1. Purple Folders - Please collect all of your Tier 2 and Tier 3 purple folders. You will place these in the box outside my office door. Make sure the student name is written on the tab on the folder along with the grade. Inside the folder you need to place the following items:
*parent contact log -(phone calls, printed emails, conferences, you can just write weekly newsletters, any other ways you have been in contact with the parents)
*intervention log- please make sure the goal is written on the sheet each time it changed and then your data is filled in. This is really just your plans you did for your Titan time or extra small group.
2. Collect any and all Math Lab items and return them to the Math Lab.
3. Collect any and all reading materials and return them to Jessica’s room. (Books, versatiles, etc)
4. White F&P Folders - Make sure the chart is updated on the inside with only a copy of the last 2 instructional F&P running records. Please clean out the others. On the outside of the folder, please put the last INSTRUCTIONAL level for the student. If you had a student with only an easy and a hard level the last time they were assessed, please include both easy and hard F&P running records. Please file your student’s folder (in alphabetical order) in the appropriate box depending on where they will attend next year. There will be boxes labeled TCES, GHES, PKES, KTES, RTES.
5. Any books from the Media Center that you find (in student's desk or that you've checked out) please return to the Media Center.
6. Pictures of Students in Cumulative Folders - this will be done for you.
Internal (inside school) and External Moves (to another school in Fort Mill):
Mr. Hartley will be sending out the finalized maps soon to show where your rooms are for next year.
Internal Moves (or anyone wanting to tidy up) the week of May 25th:
Mr. Hartley will send out a Signup Genius for those moving within the school
We are asking the district for boxes but no guarantees-will keep
Responsible for packing up yourself but if you need help, let us know.
Put materials against your back wall (external moves will put items on the tile of the classroom)
We cannot move to new rooms until after the week of July 5 so at this point, you are only packing up/tidying up your current room.
When the moving company is complete (if it is before July 5, we will let you know so you can get in sooner
External (those leaving TCES) Packup:
As soon as the moving boxes arrive, we will let you know so you can begin packup
You will receive 10 boxes, labels, and tape
I will send out an email with a survey to complete from Peter Olinger, new Executive Director of Elementary Education (YOU MUST fill this out or the district WILL NOT move you!
There will not be a Signup Genius for a specific time since you are spread throughout the building (come when you can)
You must sign in at the back door, near the cafeteria.
Updates from my Principal's Meeting
Return to School in August? At this point, Molly Spearman has created her ACCELERATE SC Task Force... as this time, the group will be making many decisions including whether we will resume a normal school schedule in August. As of now, we are set to start again as normal. As I know more, I will let you know.
Contracts: If you have not signed your contract and plan to, please do so by Monday, May 11. If you have not seen your contract, check your Clutter and if it's not there, email Yvonne Rempel at rempely@fortmillschools.org.
May 29 and June 1
We will need all hands on deck to effectively collect all elearning packets as well as distribute all 1,030 brown paper bags containing student belongings. Please help us out by clicking HERE to sign up for a time slot (or as many time slots as you’d like) on May 29th and/or June 1st. BYOM (bring your own mask), and we will provide gloves. The sign up genius is for both classified and certified staff. We need you all!
We have placed the 1000 donated brown paper bags in the hallway between Brigitte’s office and the mailroom. Homeroom teachers - Click HERE for an example of how each bag should be labeled. In the gym, you will find a section of the gym for each grade level. In each grade level section, each homeroom teacher will find a spot labeled with his/her name. Each teacher should lineup their students’ brown paper bags in alphabetical order behind his/her name. This will simplify the process of locating and delivering bags to vehicles as they move through the carline on May 29th & June 1st.
As always, please do not hesitate to email or call Hartley with questions, comments or concerns you may have.
Happy Birthday Titans!
