Weekly Memo for SES Staff
Week of August 27-31
Thank you for another great week with students. Hopefully you are settling into a routine and feeling positive about this school year. I appreciate ALL of you!
Fire Drill
We will have one fire drill this week. Remember your class roster and red/green paper. If you need one, let Mrs. Cox know.

How do you get straight A's?
By using a ruler...
Class Assist
We will start using the regular class assist schedule; however, lots of testing is occurring this week, so keep in mind your person may be tied up elsewhere!

i-Ready Diagnostic Testing (continued)
We begin i-Ready diagnostic testing on Monday, August 20. THANK YOU for your patience and flexibility as we worked out a schedule. Please encourage your students to try their best! Students that take their time will earn a treat during lunch from Maura, Heather and Emily. We will wait to do the treat until most students are finished testing (early September).
We hope to use this data to plan instruction and identify our strengths and weaknesses among students. This data will guide many discussions and planning, so we hope for it to be as accurate as possible. Thank you for setting high expectations!
Student Motivation
Please encourage your students to always do their best! We will be doing quarterly incentives for AR. I shared in an email the amount of points that students need by the end of the 1st 9 weeks. I also will be working to reward students monthly for their performance and growth on i-Ready.
Also, I LOVE rewarding students! If you ever want me to come by and congratulate your class for something with a treat, I am just an email or text away! :-)
