MILESTONES - WEEK 1
Week #1 of GA Milestones was a huge success, and it took the efforts of everyone to help this week run as smoothly as it did. Please thank your students for their support in maintaining an excellent testing environment throughout the building.
We have learned some things this week, and we are prepared to tackle week #2. We will still need to monitor student transitions and maintain silence throughout the building as we complete 8th Grade testing and begin 7th grade testing.
Again, thank you!

Absence Analysis
Below is the absence analysis for April! We have slipped up the past couple of months, but I realize life happens.
It is much easier to look beyond those unavoidable absences when we have a strong focus on our attendance as a TEAM!
I have included the final analysis for March - it is below April's.

Our SIP and Great, Every Day Practices
1. We will increase the number of students at or above Lexile levels on the Universal Screener.
2. We will increase the number of students who score proficient or higher by 10% on the EMBRACER writing protocol.
3. We will decrease the amount of students in all grades who fail 2 or more classes for the EOY average.
While we have a plan to increase student learning in specific areas; effective collaboration, planning, instruction, and assessment should be a daily focus. How are you doing in these key areas?
1. There is a connection between the activities in class to our SIP goals (specifically reading and writing).
2. There is evidence of collaboration within grade level departments. Daily snapshots are explicit and provide a clear focus.
3. A 3 part lesson model is used (opening, work session, and student led closings). Some of you communicate this on your board in the form of an agenda.
4. Students are actively engaged in a student centered learning environment. Learning is accomplished through "doing", not "sitting and getting".
5. Students understand the purpose of the EQ, how it connects to what they are doing in class, and how what they are learning is applicable in the "real world".
