Yay!!! 2nd - 4th grade teachers had all math screener data in before it was due and no reminders were needed!

Notes from Malinda
HLSR Day-10/19
We are fortunate to have visitors from the education committee with the HLSR. They will have lots of different sessions for our students.
- Please review expectations for behavior with a presenter. Please actively monitor behavior closely.
- 1st-4th grade students will follow a rotations schedule from 9:00-2:00. There will not be specials classes for 1st-4th grade. Specials teachers will be assigned to a group except during Kinder Specials (locations for kinder specials will be communicated by specials teachers).
- Teachers will be grouped in pairs. You can relieve each other, as long as one teacher stays with the group. Both teachers need to be present to rotate the group to the next station.
Decision Point Meetings
We will begin our 1st round of RtI meetings next week. Schedule will be coming out soon. If you have a student on the schedule, you will need to complete a Rice Student Profile sheet before your meeting and bring it with you. You will include as much information as you have available to you.
Cum Folders
Teams need to come by and complete your folders for the 2018-19 year. (4th grade is complete!!!) PK-3...we will leave them alphabetical.
Classroom Libraries
If you would like to have input into ordering books for classroom libraries, please meet me in the library 10/17 at 3:45. We will look at budget and gather information about areas we need to address.
