Valentines Day Parties
Kyle and James have been extremely thankful for you all stacking your chairs and placing them in the back of the room. Please continue to do so they are able to clean your rooms thoroughly after the Valentines Day parties this week.
Dragon Dollar Flood Week
Weeks before a break can create an excitable time for our students. We can counter act this to the best of our ability by praising the positive behaviors we see around the building using our Dragon Dollars and any classroom system you're currently using. We will place dragon dollars inside your mailboxes this morning.
Have a great week!
Your Fan,
Ali

Nuts and Bolts - Updated 1/28/19
Cluster/Magnet Nomination Form
1st-4th Grade Teachers,
The magnet/cluster nomination process has moved to an online version. Here are some highlights of what you need to know moving forward:
- You should have received a hard copy list of students whose parents submitted a recommendation in your mailbox. There is also a copy of this information in your schools shared nomination google drive along with some other helpful documents that may be useful as you complete your nominations.
- You need to fill out forms for every parent nomination even if you do not agree with what the parent is nominating the student for.
- If there are other students in your classroom that were not nominated by their parents but you feel they may be showing some exceptional growth/potential, please feel free to nominate them.
- Your F&P scores and your GPW sample (which are only submitted for Magnet or ELA cluster nominations) MUST be from January testing.
- Please be sure to include the students name, grade, building and teacher name on the GPW sample you submit (you will still scan and email the writing sample as has been done in the past. Directions on who to send writing samples to are included in the online nomination form)
- All electronic nominations will be due by Tuesday, February 12th. At that time you will no longer be able to access the document to nominate a student. The online form will be coming this morning to your email.
Please direct questions regarding the nomination process to either Pam or Ann.
Pam Liagre 4523 (planning 8:40-9:25)
Ann Passino 5584 (planning 2:45-3:20)
Magnet Program Co-Coordinators
- Behavior Referrals must be completed using the Online Behavior Form. Staff must complete the behavior form anytime a student is sent down to the office for a major office referral. Homeroom Teachers and Special Area Teachers are responsible for contacting the family to notify them of any incidents that occurred inside of the classroom. Please call home over an email whenever possible. Personally, I'd recommend sharing anything over 3-4 sentences over a phone call as well.
