Get Whitt it!
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

New PEIMS! New PEIMS!
We knew with Mrs. Shahan's switcheroo, we were going to have big shoes to fill. We got REAL LUCKY ( as evidenced by the # of texts/emails I got lauding our hire!) with Mrs. Becky Gournay from WHS. She currently serves as their registrar there for students A-L.
Her start date will be next Wednesday> please give her a big Whitt Wolf welcome!
Calendar concerns
All the appointments set by KM will disappear from the calendar when her account is officially deactivated, which will happen in 30 days.
I will be working, quite diligently, to delete them all and re-send in a way that is more congruent to what we've done in the past. (IE: THE WAY PATTY DID IT!)
I am not sure what this will look like and will try to minimize it's weirdness. :)
Watchdogs start next week!
Front office update
Supplies & materials needed send to me.
We'll need to, at some point, talk about absences. Mrs. Shahan may not have her phone as readily available as Patty did, so we may need a plan for last minute/late sickeness and sub assignments.
Morgan's Musings
LOCKDOWN DRILL:
We will have a lockdown drill tomorrow, Friday the 20th. Please go over procedures with your kids, and ask me if you have any questions!
Accommodations for RTI Kiddos
If a student has been in RTI for reading since last year, and we have enough data to support the conclusion that they have a documented evidence of reading difficulty, they can have tests read to them. This goes for STAAR also.
If they are new to RTI for reading this year, we will wait a bit before we start this so we can ensure they really need it.
See me with any questions!
Fall Picture Day
September 26th- Schedule is here.
It is pretty much the same as last year. Let me know if you see any conflicts!
Education Galaxy Club
Please fill in who you recommend here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/128G6ClJFCPdQyJr8g9pLO0RH3JK3colHoOZoeVfn5Ng/edit?usp=sharing
Please fill out the form here with all information, and we will get you scheduled! It is best if we have some data, so bring BAS info if you have it, along with your notes or work samples for math concerns. We can look up MAP in the meetings. Please enter one form per teacher (ex: If Rowell has a reading concern and Jacobs has a math concern for the same kiddo, do two separate forms).
Readworthy/tweet of the week!
Counselor's Corner
Mapping Your Future Mondays has begun!
This year we have former Wylie ISD students featured our new videos! Our graduates are doing amazing things and it's going to be so fun to see them in their jobs! Here is the link for that!
Nurse's Notes
