SUMMER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Jen and Steph will talk to the staff Monday at our final staff meeting about summer professional development. Summer Professional Development is open on My Learning Plan. If you are interested in any of the professional development, please try to sign up as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2016-2017
There have been some changes to our three contracted days prior to school starting for 2016-2017 that I need to put on your radar before you leave for summer break.
- Teachers who are not under an extended contract because they have been in the district less than three years will return for 3 work days beginning on Monday, August 15.
- As far as I know, Opening Session will be on Monday, August 15.
- ELEMENTARY OPEN HOUSE IS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 16 FROM 5:00-7:00 PM THIS YEAR. A lot of discussion has occurred regarding the things that need to be done AFTER the open house in order to be truly ready for the first day of school and so this date has been changed this year.
- Sometime during those three days, there will be potentially 4-6 hours of PD at each building focused around ICLE and the district behavior supports that will be put in place.
All of you are SO conscientious about having your rooms ready and preparing for our kiddos that I wanted you to know what those three days might hold so you can plan accordingly. Sometimes knowing allows us to plan ahead so it isn't stressful and overwhelming.
End Of Year Events
If you plan to keep a student from attending all or part of special end-of-the-year events, please contact parents ahead of time and send me an email so the office has the list of names. Grade levels will need to have a teacher supervise any students not attending special events. if it is a disciplinary consequence from the office, we will make the arrangements ourselves.
K-4 Portfolios
Please make sure your beginning, middle, and end-of-the-year writing samples and their scoring guides are placed in each of your student's portfolios. Some portfolios are still in the teacher workroom! When all is complete with the portfolios, please place them back in the grade-level storage box in the lounge closet for the next grade level teachers.
Infinite Campus- The portal is open so you can begin entering all grades!!
Please clean your projection filters.
Visit the Lost and Found This Week
Please take your class down and visit the Lost and Found. There are SO MANY jackets, tops, pants and coats waiting to go back to their owner. I will have Roger bag clothing on Wednesday.
Active Supervision:
Let's stay strong with our active supervision and be patient with the students as they are excited to be almost to summer break - just like the adults! ;-)
**Spread out on the playground and actively move, scan and pay close attention while on duty. We've had too many students on the playground this past week. Please do not go out on the playground if another grade level is outside at recess. Use the front play area if your class needs to go out for a special activity. Thanks!
