Two for One Summer Training Opportunity with MyOn & Studies Weekly
On July 23rd , Steve and Eric will be offering the opportunity for you to receive two trainings in one day! These trainings are for both new and experienced teachers. This training is subject to change due to COVID-19 restrictions. We will have Studies Weekly and myOn conducting training at Coal Mountain, with each having a morning and afternoon session. This will be a great opportunity to sharpen your skills with these two valuable instructional tools. There will be two different myOn trainings offered, an introduction to myOn and a deeper dive into what myOn offers. The Studies Weekly grades 3-5 training will offer a great chance to explore the changes that Studies Weekly is making to both the consumable newspaper and the online platform. (Studies Weekly has made a number of changes to their online platform) These trainings will be conducted by consultants from Studies Weekly and myOn who are experts on these digital platforms.
Please take a minute to fill out the survey link if you are interested in attending any of these trainings. myOn and Studies Weekly Training

Dinner for all Mashburn Staff Families!
Mashburn staff, you go above and beyond every day, and you continue to support our Mashburn children in the best way possible. Thank you for all you do. Please take a night off from cooking and enjoy a Los Rios Party Platter Special. To get your Party Platter, just call or order online, tell them your name, and let them know you are a member of the Mashburn staff. Choose beef or shredded chicken (or order ½ and ½). The meal comes with tortillas and large containers of lettuce, cheese, rice, and beans. It also comes with 16 oz cheese dip and 16 oz salsa & chips. Delivery is free or you can swing by and pick it up. Order between May 4 - May 22 . If you are unable to get through the Los Rios phone line (It can get very busy!), then order online. In the box labeled Special Request add your name and let them know that you’re a member of the Mashburn staff.
Enjoy your Los Rios dinner!
Love, Carla, Jennifer, and Andrea

A Note from EIP
Teachers, Sarah and I need your help collecting some data on students who have marginally participated in online learning. Please use the link above to give us some information on those students. This information will help us when we return for the 2020-21 school year when qualifying for EIP and looking at at-risk students. This is NOT just for IST/SST students. Please let us know about any student, regardless of tier, that has had spotty work during this time. If you are in doubt about who to put on this list OR if you have any questions, email Sarah or Kimmie.
Please do this by Friday, May 15th. Thanks!

New ESOL Student Procedures
If you have ESOL students, please read:
Sometime this week and again during the week of May 11, please go into the RTI desktop and under the student collaboration document if you have been conferencing with students and if they have been completing their work. Dee and Martha will document the students that are doing the alternate assignments- IStation or Lexia and Dreambox. Classroom teachers will document the students that are scheduled to do the regular classroom assignments. Here are two examples.
Here are two blurb ideas:
In March and April I have met with ____________4 times for conferences in reading and math. ________ has been completing most classroom assignments.
Or
After several attempts I have had limited conversations with _____________ and his parents. _______________ has completed limited assignments. I will continue to reach out and offer additional support.
