Monday Morning Memo - Week 32
4/29/18
Dear Poupard Staff,
Can't believe we're down to our last 7 weeks! The School Improvement Team took a critical look at the SWOT data from our PLC a couple weeks ago as we determined some reasonable areas for us to continue supporting our learners academic needs. We're pleased to be adding an additional 100 Lexia licenses for the 18-19 school year, a site license to use Reflex for fact fluency, headphones for our new devices. Additionally, we're looking into enrichment opportunities during lunch such as Robot Garage.
Please speak with a SIT member directly if there is anything else you'd like for us to consider adding for this upcoming school year.
Thank you,
Ali

Article of the Week: What Works Best for Home-School Connection?
Nuts and Bolts - Updated 4/15/18
- All probationary staff should meet with Cindy to schedule their second observation. You will be scheduling three dates (Pre-Observation, Observation, and Post-Observation).
- Dragon Dollars have been handed out. Please use these to acknowledge the positive behaviors you notice from our 4th and 5th graders. Please only hand out one at a time.
- Please remember to take your Walkie Talkie with you outside when you take your students outside for an extra recess. The office staff has had a tough time locating individual students at the end of the day and it can be especially challenging with one person.
- The School Improvement Team is looking for books in good shape for Poupard's Literacy Night in May. If you find some, get a receipt and give them to Lori Woz.
