Westside Weekly Newsletter
August 6-10, 2018
Reminders
1- Sign in and out in Netchex as soon as you arrive every day.
2- Don't forget to build relationships with your students' families. Make a positive call home to tell families about their child's start to the school year.
3- Be sure you are standing at your classroom door by 7:30 a.m. to greet students and monitor the hallways.
4- If you have not done so yet, please update the staff information roster located on the Google Drive.
5- Begin your beginning of the year assessments. Teachers will meet with Kelly, Alyssa and Catherine on Aug. 15th during planning. Please have your Tier 3 students' assessment data completed (and bring it with you) to be able to discuss possible goals for the students this year.
6- Weekly lesson plans will be due every Thursday. The first plans for the week of Aug. 20 will be due Thursday, August 16.
7- Please invite the leadership team, counseling team and specialists to your Class Dojo page if you have not done so already. The goal is to have anyone in the school be able to award points when students are earning them.
8- Walkies: Please remember to carry your walkie every time you leave your classroom. This is the mode of communication we will use if you have an emergency, a student who is on their way to see Nurse Tilly from specials, the cafeteria etc. as well as for students who have early dismissals. The office will try paging your room first, and then try to locate you on the walkie. Everyone should be on Channel 2.
