Principal's PLC-Connection
Hello Staff,
I know we are all hanging in there for two more weeks and I have all the confidence that We Can Do It and make it a great two weeks for our students.
As you look at the Weekly Launch Codes for this week, you'll see we have a lot going on. Please make sure you have read through Mrs. Simopoulos' emails about the Spelling Bee for Monday as well as the Dibels schedule for the week.
Library Specials: As everyone has experienced, we are short subs. We are also making another shift in Middle School that, for now, involves using Mr. Rivera and canceling Library times for the week for K-6 grade. 7th & 8th will still have Mr. Rivera in the morning. 5th & 6th Grade: In order for you not to miss a plan time, when you had Library scheduled, you will have your plan time shifted to 9:40-10:20 (Please see Schedule below).
Q.2 Writing Assessment: 14th - K-6 Schedules will not change for the day. Students only need a block of 2-3 hours (but do not have a time limit to complete).
Rising Rockets Club: Teachers, as we talked about during our Data Dig Goal Setting PD, we are going to begin focused efforts to moved targeted students to increase our overall school achievement. Using your Goal Setting sheets, identify 3 students that are MP and 2 students that are PP. A letter will be sent home to those targeted parents about our plan to help those students move up. More information will come in an additional email with the plan. By targeting these specific students, we could increase our AZMerit score potentially by 16% (bringing us to above the state average) and moving the targeted MP students, could potentially move our state grade to a B+. Please have these students identified by Tuesday.
Mrs. Annamarie Dowling-Garrott
