It's NOVEMBER!!!
Lots of Random Thoughts:
I will be out tomorrow with a few teachers as we attend LISDs first annual Cultural Event! We can't wait to come back and share our learning! I will also be out on November 11th. Please mark your calendars for our November staff meeting on the 13th.
A HUGE SHOUT OUT to our newest staff member Mrs. Skinner!! She is officially SPED certified and accepted the job offer! She did an outstanding job as a long-term sub and I know she has felt a warm welcome since the day she arrived at HES!
Let's celebrate Ms. Leonard and Mr. Swaim as they are our newest certified ESL teachers!! WHOOT! WHOOT!!
Our first round of literacy check-ins went well. If you weren't part of this round, you will be getting an invite soon for your check-in. Ask your friends, it was simple and not scary at all!!
Running Records at HES with guidance from LISD: 1 RR per 9 weeks for students on grade level (a RR is 100 word text), if a student is below grade level, 1 RR every 6-7 days.
Our Chiefs wanted us to share the embedded link below regarding DRAs. We have discussed this earlier, but the link is a reminder to who gets a DRA.
Be sure to send in YEARBOOK PICTURES!! You guys have some great ones, so be sure submit away!
Please make sure you are in your classroom during instructional time and not leaving unless it is an emergency or to use the restroom. We have had several unmonitored classrooms of recent.
The district is short of subs, as you know, if you put in a sub at the last moment, it most likely won't be picked up. Please be aware of the impact this has on your students and teams. I understand emergencies happen and we wake up sick, however, knowing you have something since August planned and put in for a sub the night before isn't good for anyone. Please be flexible with our subs, you make get a sub pulled from your team because there is a different need that has to be taken care of. Please understand I am not doing this to make things difficult on you, put there is a bigger picture that I am working to complete daily when it comes to staffing.
PLC schedule will be out tomorrow. Grade level chairs have shared if you will be AM or PM and which day. Grade level chairs, please send me your agendas and norms. Thanks!
