What's Happening Around Trice
First day of school
We will have 6-8 athletes from AHS on our campus to welcome students back. They will be with us from 7:15-8:00. Mr. McDonald will have music set up in the front, and Ms. Daniel will have music and videos playing in the cafeteria and hallways.
Teachers, please be at school prior to 7:30 if you are able and be ready to receive students. Students who arrive to school prior to 7:30 will go to the cafeteria and wait to be dismissed. At 7:30 we will position duty teachers in the hallways to help direct traffic. Duty teachers will have a copy of the class lists. We will encourage to parents to leave campus and not linger.

Lesson Plan format
Earlier this summer the elementary principals created a common lesson plan. In a recent meeting the district administration has decided that the lesson planning process and procedures will be an individual principal decision.
My expectations for lesson plan development and turn in are as follows. Lesson plans will have 5 elements: standard, purpose, task, criteria, and assessment. You may add more elements to your lesson plans and you may continue to use the TASD elementary lesson plan template sent out in July if you choose as long as it has the 5 elements. I have included a link to an article which explains the elements in more detail.
Standard: list the Arkansas State Standard. Standards can be typed out or you can reference the call numbers.
Purpose: list the skills you will practice, content knowledge students will gain, and how students can use it beyond the classroom.
Task(s): What will the students do; how will they do it?
Assessment: formative, summative.
Criteria: rubrics, checklist, exemplars, how will you/they know they have mastered the skill?
Lesson plans will be posted to the google classroom you are assigned to beginning on August 28th. Lesson plans are expected to be posted/turned in to google classroom by 7:45 a.m. on the Monday of the week the lesson plan is to be used. This is a change from the original statement that lesson plans are due by Thursday at 3:45. We will make sure these changes are corrected in the Trice procedures manual.
For the first two weeks of school I expect all teachers to be working on rules and procedures with all students. This includes modeling and practicing the PBIS/LIM matrix. Also, teachers will need to assess students' prior knowledge to identify students' individual knowledge levels and learning styles.
