ACCESS Testing
ACCESS testing will take place the week of February 17-21. ESOL classes will be canceled for the week. Students will be pulled individually and in small groups for testing. We will be working hard to complete the testing in one week. Sandy is checking ELPPs and monitored forms and will let you know if any changes are needed. Thanks for taking care of these.
Number Talks Professional Learning
Reminder:
Please provide a copy of a "Number Talks" lesson (by grade level) so I can provide "evidence" in our targeted plan as follow-up for this training session.
Mid-term Progress Reports and Dr. Barlow Visit
Also, Dr. Barlow scheduled a visit on the same day (yes, Valentines Day...) at 1:00 PM. Just a "heads-up" that you may have a visitor that day.
Opportunity Room
January 8-31 (15 school days)
65 referrals
Teachers,
In order to maintain consistent communication between school and home, please contact the parent each time you call for an administrator to remove a student from your class (Level 1 Stop and Call). Sharissa and I will also make follow-up calls to explain the consequence. However, parents often have behavior-related questions we cannot answer about the incident that warranted the student's removal from your class. Thanks.
