OUR VISION IS TO BE A HEALTHY AND LITERATE COMMUNITY!
DATES THIS WEEK - It's a busy one!
I know many of you have take overs happening with your student teachers. I know how important that is to their learning. However, these two visits are SUPER important to our work at EV.
If you are not able to be in the room teaching at the times listed below please let me know. I recognize I am asking a lot of your student teachers and you. These visits were planned for other dates and needed to be rescheduled. These times are best estimations on my part. The Cowell team is traveling here and the LCAP Team will likely have lots of questions for me after the presentation. I will do my best to stick to the times.
Nov. 20 - LCAP Committee visit / Team members will be here to hear from me and walk through classrooms. 9am to 11am is the allotted time. We will likely be in classrooms around 9:30. Readers, Writers, Math or Focus Learning is what I want them to see.
Nov. 21 - SH Cowell visit please see attached agenda. We will be in classrooms from 9:45 to 10:30. Readers and Writers would be great for them to see.
District Grade Level Meeting
Next Wednesday, November 20 is our next elementary collaboration meeting. The meeting will be held at Prestwood at 2:30-4:30 pm. Please review the agenda below and contact Esmeralda Sanchez Moseley (Flowery principal) if you have any questions.
District PLC
We need another teacher for the district PLC days at Hanna.
Currently, the team is Nora, Katie, Missy, Gen (LOA) and Maite.
I would love one to two more teachers.
The next date is Dec. 12.
Evaluation Committee
VMTA needs representation for the Evaluation Committee. The committee needs one representative from the primary grades and one representative from the upper grades.
Could you please ensure your staff is aware of this new committee? If you have any interested teachers please let me know!
