Chancellor News and Notes
October 9-12, 2018
Big Wins for our Houston Astros, Texans, and Rockets!
A few reminders as we continue moving along:
- Goals in STRIVE are being approved this week- if you don't have yours entered, get them in now! Administrators are required to approve by this Friday, October 12th.
- Parent Conferences- it's time to get your fall conferences going! Every student needs at least two conferences a year, and more if they are struggling!
- T-TESS windows are beginning to open: make sure you have your lesson plans updated each week in Schoology and your small group schedules are posted on the common.
- Content objectives, language objectives, sentence stems, and quality questions: when we walk through will we be able to see these in your room? Posted objectives for content and language are required by the district, and Chancellor requires evidence of sentence stems and/or quality questions around the classroom.
- Things to think about: Do you have updated anchor charts and student work? Is the room conducive to current learning objectives? Are stations updated if you use them? Do you have a rotation or routine for IStation and I-Ready?
Announcements!
- Picture day is tomorrow- review schedule sent out by Marie and turn in envelopes
- Parent Lunch Day is Friday! You will eat in classrooms, and cafeteria will be host to all families who come that day.
- Tickets sales for Fall Festival start next week- send flyers home as soon as you get them
- Report Card upload is due October 15th (yes, we are already there!)
- Boss's Day is October 16th
On Wednesdays we wear Pink...
Our Comet of the Week is...Stephanie Bennett!
Ms. Sullivan shared, "I would like to nominate Stephanie Bennett. She is always looking for ways to support to the teachers in what they’re teaching in the classroom. She responds quickly and eagerly when you ask for assistance. I have seen her building good relationships with the students."
Congratulations, Mrs. Bennett! You have earned a snack shack coupon, jeans pass, your name on the Comet of the Week bulletin board, and the opportunity to nominate next week's Comet of the Week! Thanks for being a great staff member!
Staff- please stop by and drop Mrs. Bennett a note for being our Comet of the Week! The bulletin board is between the elevator and the workroom!
