Lincoln/ Madison Feeder
Legendary Leadership * World-class Scholarship
Week of May 9, 2016
Our Vision
The Lincoln/Madison Feeder Pattern prepares scholars to lead, think, communicate and compete as responsible citizens who are college and career bound.
Literacy and Critical Thinking
PLCs
Social-Emotional Supports
Game Time!
This week is Game Time for our elementary schools. Our students will be administered their final round of STAAR tests for the regular school year. Our teachers and staff have worked diligently to prepare the students, and now it is all up to our students to stand and deliver. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each school for a successful week of testing.
Together, we are game changers for our students, schools and communities. I believe that we have everything that we need to win; in fact we are already victorious. I believe that each of our schools will meet standard with an increase in distinctions. I urge you to believe with me.
Momentous Institute Training- May 16-17
As leaders, we have identified a need to support teachers in addressing the social/emotional needs of our students. We saw specific strategies in action during our tour of the Momentous Institute, and now we are bringing trainers from Momentous to our feeder to train our teachers directly. The training will be held on May 16- 17 at Lincoln High School. Each school may select 12 teachers/administrator to attend. We will also invite other stakeholders to train alongside our teachers. Please register your team using the link below:
PS. The Lincoln Tiger Den Restaurant will be open for business during the 2 days of training. More information to come.
Nine Days Remain for SLOs/Extended and Summative Evaluations
Principal and Assistant Principal Evaluations
As was discussed in our feeder meeting, the timeline for the system reviews will begin May 24 and end June 9. Please note that you should be following the same timeline with evaluating your APs. As has been true in the past, the first meeting will be a 2 hour meeting where you will be able to present your binder to support your self rating. Feel free to invite your leadership team to this meeting, and note that the APs will receive the same systems review score as the principal. Because the systems review provides an overview of the leadership team, it makes sense that the scores should be the same. Please check out the link below for more information on principal and AP evaluations.

The Collegiate Academy at Madison is a wonderful opportunity for students seeking to change the trajectory of their lives. Participating students will have the opportunity to earn up to 60 hours of college credit which can lead to an Associates of Applied Science while at the same time earning their high school diploma. All of this is being offered for FREE and transportation to the school will be provided.
