Monday Morning Memo
1-11-16
Oh my gosh, its COLD!!!! For everyone who wanted the cold weather, it's here! For all the rest of us, hang in there, spring is coming!! Haha!
As we get back into the swing of things, please remember to post your lesson plans on Google calendar, keep the board updated in the team room (especially tests where SPED is involved) and include all subjects on newsletters. Lets keep those parents involved.
There is a lot to tell you about this week, and I am sure I will forget something, so watch email for updates during the week.
Incredible results....
I absolutely can not wait to share our first semester data with you during our PD day. We had the best one semester grade point in our history - a 3.21! The best we have ever had before was a 3.05. My takeaway.... students will rise to your expectations. We set them high - held them accountable for their work - and they met and surpassed our expectations. Great job y'all! I will send out the schedule for Monday's PD after the lead team approves it on Tuesday.
This week in basketball...
Great week in basketball.... Today we are playing at Morrilton. Thursday is a home game playing Greenwood. Come out and cheer on the Pointers!
Talk SMAC!
Open mic at talk SMAC today. Bring your school management concerns to the team and be a part of the solution.
Aspire - Interim Assessment
We will be running a school wide interim assessment on ACT Aspire as soon as we get the go ahead from the district. I believe the rosters are being loaded on January 19th. If they are ready in time, I am shooting for Tuesday, January 26th. If they are not, we will push back a week. Just keep it in mind. We could really use the data!
