Focus for the Week - Grade-Level Reading
This may not be one of the TEF indicators, but it's an important instructional issue. For the next few weeks, please consider the following:
- Are our students reading at grade-level?
- How do we know? What data are we using to inform this?
- What are we doing to address this?
News, Helpful Hints, and Reminders
From the Academic Team -
- Budget meetings are this week! Per an email from Luis, the focus for this week's meetings will be on LCAP, Title II (Teacher Quality), Educator Effectiveness and other apportionments. Please have your reconciliations with you!
- Please remind everyone to complete their Stakeholder Surveys!
- Marie is out Monday and Tuesday (3/21-3/22) this week, and Ryan is out on Tuesday (3/22).
- Arts Month is fast approaching! Please remember to inform Jamie McAndrews of any events you have planned
- Month 7 Attendance Report Due Tuesday, 3/22/16 by 5pm. A complete report means Core Attendance Reports w/ appropriate signatures (packet 1) AND Teacher Verification Attendance Sheets w/ appropriate signatures (packet 2) are submitted. Options for submission:
- Scan and email Attendance@icefps.org ONLY! (DO NOT EMAIL IT DIRECTLY TO ENRIQUE)
- Scan and upload to Google Drive Folder under Month 7 and the appropriate school
- Beautiful Binder with copies of everything.
- Immunization Audit: Student's who failed to submit appropriate documentation can not be on campus until compliance is met. Communication is key! Please consistently communicate with parents and/or guardians. This is a non-negotiable. School Directors: please follow up with your SOM and SIC on this matter.
- Enrollment Process: As a friendly reminder, under NO circumstances can you accept a NEW STUDENT WITHOUT all the proper documentation (unless the student is Homeless in which the school may assist the family financially to get those documents) . That means their birth certificate, immunizations, copy of their IEP (once accepted not prior to acceptance), all ICEF required documents completely filled out, etc. If the student is Inner-ICEF, a new enrollment packet is the only item required (except for incoming 7thgraders, TDAP is required), as discussed in previous meetings; birth certificate, immunizations, etc. should already be in the cumulative folder when they enrolled into an ICEF school. (stated in an email sent out on March 13, 2016)
- Enrollment Grid: Please update daily!
- SIC Meeting will be held on Wednesday, 3/23/16 at 2pm at the ICEF Home Office (5140 building conference room in first floor).
