Monday Morning Memo - Week 7
10/14/18 Let's get it!!!
Dear Poupard Leaders,
Thank you so much for pushing the PTO Classroom Ambassador Program to our families. We had 19 parents at our last PTO meeting, by far the most that have attended during my time here. I don't believe that it happened on accident or some struck of luck. It occurred because we have been making a concerted effort to include our families and keep them engaged and informed. I really appreciate you being our boots on the ground and encouraging families to take on that role! Please keep pushing if you still have an opening for your PTO Classroom Ambassador.
I'm looking forward to a great week of goal setting meetings this week! If you have not scheduled one with me yet, let's make sure to connect and solidify a time. After all of the professional goals have been established, I plan on creating cohorts where teachers can work collaboratively towards learning about their goal and implementing it inside their classrooms. I will provide time and guidelines about how this will work in detail during a future PLC.
(K-3) teachers, please bring signed IRIPs down to the office and Cindy will assist with getting those filed away. If parents of students receiving IRIPs were unable to attend conferences, please send home a copy and request that it come back signed so we have it for our own records. Please let me know if you're having difficulty obtaining a particular families signature.
As always, thank you all for everything you do for our students and the time you put into creating equitable outcomes for them. Let's have a great week!
Your Teammate,
Ali

Nuts and Bolts - Updated 10/14/18
- Please be sure to notify Emily and Kathie if there are changes to your specials schedules. Their students have mandated general education hours and its extremely important that they attend their specials.
- Please continue to send any PTO Ambassador forms to the office.
- Please share your weekly newsletters with me by "Ccing" me when they are emailed out to families. This allows for me to stay connected with all of the exciting things happening inside of your classrooms.
- Dragon Dollars will be passed out and used for students in (Y5-5) for our weekly raffles. The school store will be available for students in grades (4-5). Students in grades (Y5-3) can save up their Dragon Dollars if they would like to spend them once they reach 4th or 5th grade. We will discuss this more as a staff with the PBIS Team.
- 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.
