The Polser Pride
Week of September 23rd - September 27th, 2019
What's Happening this Week?
I first want to say how much I appreciate everyone's help on Friday to make our Pep Rally a HUGE success. Our students had so much fun. Thank you to those teachers that helped get our houses outside for snow cones and missed sliding! Again, we all worked together, and I think it was a huge success. The slide was AWESOME.
Thank you to all of the staff members that came out and walked in the Hebron HS Homecoming Parade-Miss Taschler, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Myers, Miss Garrett, & Ms. Casida. You all took time away from your families to be with our students at the parade and I really do appreciate it.
This week we have a couple of student events. National Walk/Ride to School is Wednesday morning, October 2nd. Our WatchDog Program Launch is Wednesday evening, October 2nd, from 6-7 p.m.
Remember that Danna and Ashton will be meeting with you during your conferences on Tuesday, October 1st in the Engineering Room for A Time for Literacy (curriculum check). I will also be training all grade levels for Literacy Check-In's that will help us look at our reading data during conferences. These are two different things. Our Team Leader meeting is Wednesday, October 2nd at 3:30.
Please be sure you have all of your Linguistic Accommodations in AWARE for your ELL's by Friday, October 4th at 4:00 p.m. Make sure you are keeping track of your parent conferences. I would like a copy of your recording sheet to review once you have finished. Remember that iStation, WTW, Writing Samples, and DRA2 for any student with reading concerns are due in AWARE and our campus spreadsheet by Monday, 9/30. Kindergarten iStation opens October 1-October 31st; DRA2 for any student with reading concerns. Information must be recorded in AWARE and on our campus spreadsheet.
Just a reminder that Allen ISD will be visiting on Monday, September 30th during Engineering to see our STEM Program in action.
I will be out of town on Friday, October 4 - Monday, October 7th for my niece's wedding. Heather and Melodie will be holding down the building. Your help is always appreciated.
Our Early Release Day/3-Day Weekend is coming soon! You all are doing AMAZING things and I'm so proud of the work we are doing every day!
Thanks for all you do,
Lisa
