From the Principal's Desk....
- Staff Meeting - Don't forget that we will have our next staff meeting on Monday, January 14th. Janice Kato will be giving you a brief tutorial on Freckle and Tia Hahn will be presenting a review of the tiers of instruction. I will be sending out a survey prior to the staff meeting that needs to be completed before you leave. It is very short and will be used as part of our demographic data for the comprehensive needs assessment we are currently working on as a school improvement team.
- School Safety Drill - We will be going through our lockdown and secure mode drills on Monday, January 14th. We will begin in lockdown mode and then move into secure mode. Please review the procedures for each of these drills. I will start at Hemlock Elementary at 12:20 through an announcement over the PA and move over to Ling at 1:30 p.m.
- NWEA Testing - The winter NWEA testing window will run from January 7th through February 9th.
- I have scheduled dates for each grade level to work with Holly Damm to look at the Student Profile Reports. I have sent out calendar invites for your grade level's meeting date. These reports were new last spring and provide a lot of individualized information relating to our students' academic performance.
- The end of the 2nd Marking Period is January 18th. Please have grades submitted and report cards ready no later than January 23rd at 8:00 a.m.
- There is no school on January 21st. This is NOT a scheduled PD day for teachers.
- Lesson Plans - Lesson plans should be up-to-date on the first student day of each week.
- Freckle Subscription - Freckle should be up and running. You should have access to all resources through the remainder of the year. You will receive a brief tutorial at our staff meeting on January 14th.
