YES PREP COLLABORATION
Principal's Message
Happy March! We are now gearing into more of our end of year STAAR and end of year testing season. To accommodate planning and coordinating for the last 9 weeks, I am creating a schedule to provide you with additional time to accomplish what you need to get done as a team. The times will be given to you for March 9-13th, however, you can kick start the planning this Wednesday during early dismissal. What needs to be accomplished:
- 4th 9 weeks road maps for you and your team including your personal calendars outlining TEKS/SKILLS taught.
- Your reading/math small group intervention plan. Each team must submit their fresh 4th 9 weeks intervention plan. I will resend out template on Monday. Due- March 12th, 2020.
Finally, this is a friendly reminder to all staff about your meeting with Ms. Cooper in C202 this Thursday. This meeting is to discuss your personal level of PBIS and reboot it appropriately while we norm out system wide "support" systems.
Thank you for being flexible with the changes due to the school closure on Friday. We will push our calendars out by one day.
Please have fun with the kids tomorrow!
May you enjoy this beautiful week with love, learning, and joy for sharing the light you were gifted.
Wildcat Love and respect,
Rachel Martinez
