The Weekly Update
Week of 11/6/23
Happy November, everyone!
Well, I feel this is when things start to get crazy! This week we have our LP meetings, AND a short week, then we have ANOTHER short week with LP meetings, then Thanksgiving break, and then I feel like we blink and it's Christmas! Flexibility is great during these busy weeks, but consistency is also key. Try to hold onto one school routine as best you can. Please read over the information below carefully, and let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to support you!
Dates to Remember/Things to Do:
- If you have not done so, please send me LP3 work sample(s)! They were due last Friday
- November 7-15 - LP3 Meetings (*Note for 1st Wednesday meetings- we will be meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 8, NOT on Nov. 1!)
- Friday, November 10 - Veteran's Day (observed), no school
- THURSDAY, November 16 - Last day of LP3, attendance due by NOON!
- Friday, November 17-24- Thanksgiving break, no school
LP3 Work Sample (due LAST Friday!)
Our LP3 work sample is Social Studies. Texting me a screenshot or emailing a pdf, whatever's easiest for you is totally fine. Please make sure the following are included on the work sample:
- Student first and last name (they must write their own name- for TK/K, you may write their last name)
- Date the assignment was completed (Between 10/16/23 and 11/16/23- please make sure it's a school day- Saturdays, Sundays and any holidays won't be accepted)
- Subject (Social Studies this time for TK-8th)
- A grade from you (TK-3rd grade can be a star or happy face, 4th-12th grade must be a percentage, letter grade, or ratio)
*Keep in mind this must be a sample of student's best work! I truly appreciate your help getting this submitted in a timely manner!
Tech Bundle Reminder
Please make sure you have filled out the waiver form below and attached it to your tech bundle order! I cannot approve any tech orders unless this is attached. Thank you!
$700 Grant Funds
You should've received a funds planning sheet Google doc for each student. This is a helpful tool to help you organize what you want to do with your funds, but it must be filled out in order to qualify for the $700 grant funds. We will go over this at our LP meetings this week and next week.
NEW! Accelerated Reader 90 Day Pilot!
All Heartland students will have access to Accelerated Reader starting November 1 through a 90 day pilot. Based on use, interest, and feedback, Heartland will determine if AR is a good fit for our community.
Your child's AR login is the same as the Star360 login!
