BE AMAZING & Don't FORGET!
Cell Phones should not be used for personal use during class/work time. Please limit use to your prep/breaks. We understand there are times you need to be accessible- in those cases just let me know please.
UPDATE summer reading lists- please!!
SPRING PHOTOS- Please keep track of who returns them so you can collect the photos from ALL of your students. Thank you.
- Don't forget to SIGN IN at the office each morning.... we need to know who is in the building
- Remember to wear your ID badge Every day (we have clips for them in the office)
- UPDATE Option C by Monday each week
LESSON PLANS- I know we are coming to the end of the year, but classroom teachers are still expected to have their detailed lesson plans for the week prepared for Mondays.
Just a reminder that you are responsible for the contents of the faculty/staff handbook- These are the guidelines and expectations for staff members
Graduation
Please RSVP to Mrs. Priddy and let her know if you will also attend the dinner afterward.
This is in the faculty/staff handbook and a friendly reminder is always helpful=
"Working in an elementary school setting provides our faculty with the opportunity to interact with students and parents in a variety of community-building activities, many of which take place outside of the regular school day. These obligations include Back to School Night, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Open House, Concerts, Science Fair and Graduation. ALL faculty are expected to attend these events. If for some reason, a teacher cannot attend one of these events, he or she may request the use of a personal day or sick day. Staff are also required to attend at least 2 fundraiser events during the school year (Comedy Night, Color Run, Pasta Supper, Gala, Golf Tournament etc.) unless other arrangements have been made with the principal or headmaster."
End of Year
This is always an early release day and we will have our awards assembly in the gym that morning- I'll confirm the time... this is usually followed by our Staff end of year party/luncheon- Location TBD
We will have June 14th off (enjoy) but ALL staff should plan to work on June 17th and 18th to complete additional work on our self study and supporting materials.
We are hoping to finalize most of the work by June 18th but there may be some things that will require additional work before the beginning of the next school year.
Some Great ideas to freshen our bulletin boards for the end of the school year!
A MUST read for classroom teachers!
Don't forget to invite me, remind me or share photos of what is happening when I'm not there! Let's keep sharing our story and great happenings!
MAP Testing
We will have a brief assembly after the brief prayer service on May 6th= to kick off Rocking the test.
I want all teachers to give students their RIT scores from the winter in each area.
These can be on laminated cards that can be used over and over. They should have their score and then a 'goal' score for spring.
You can also just write these scores on their desk in expo! We want them to have a score to BEAT and a goal! This will help motivate some students - especially since they will see their score as soon as they finish the test to see if they beat their score or not!
Feel free to get creative....
