News from Ms. Cochrane-
Parent Conferences:
Please remember that all HR teachers will have October 9 as a Conference Day with parents. Please begin scheduling these with parents so we can have 100% of our families met with by the end of the 1st 9 weeks.
Extended Collaborative Team Time (ECTT – formerly PLC time) and Twice a Week Planning:
Please remember that your ECTT and twice a week planning times are for discussing:
· RTI/PST students
· Standard(s) (i.e. norming)
· common formative/summative assessment development
· common formative/summative assessment analysis (4 PLC Guiding Questions)
· unit development
We are trying to attend all ECTT times so we can be a part of your conversations. If you want us to join your regularly scheduled planning times (two days each week), please make sure you invite us.
Literacy Information from Mrs. Baker-
- October 5th - Will be my last work day before beginning medical leave. If you need anything from me please let me know as soon as possible. I should be back on November 6. During that time I will be available by email and text if something comes up. (803-322-1500)
Becoming ELITE...
Excerpt from The Power of Positive Leadership...
If they praise you, show up and do the work.
If they criticize you, show up and do the work.
If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work.
Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.
Lead with passion.
Fuel up with optimism.
Have faith.
Power up with love.
Maintain hope.
Be stubborn.
Fight the good fight.
Refuse to give up.
Ignore the critics.
Believe in the impossible.
Show up.
Do the work.
You'll be glad you did.
True grit leads to true success.
