INFO @ ALTA VISTA
MONDAY - CLASSROOM WALK-THROUGHS
On Monday, teachers from Oster and UMS, along with DO staff will be visiting AV classrooms between 8:30 and 10:00. This provides valuable insight for School Leadership Teams as they support teachers at their schools. Members of Alta Vista's School Leadership Team will be visiting school on September 23rd.
LUNCH BINS
Third/fourth/fifth grade teachers - Please remind your students to place lunch boxes and water bottles in your lunch bins. We are having an increasing number of students who need/want to pick up items from the classroom.
Everyone - We have extra small and large rolling lunch bins. Please let Vicki know if you need one.
IEP DAYS
This year, you may find that you are invited to attend an IEP meeting during the school day. Each school in the District has been provided with an allotment of subs that allows us to schedule IEP meetings during the day, rather than after school. If you are invited to a daytime IEP meeting, you can expect a roving sub to cover your class during that time. Unfortunately, due to parents' and team members availability, this is not always possible, but Alta Vista's SPED team is coordinating our schedules to make this happen as much as possible.
WALK-A-THON ASSEMBLY
Please bring your class to the primary playground immediately after lunch on Wednesday for a short kick off assembly. Although it shouldn't take long, you will probably want to have backpacks and classrooms ready to go before heading to lunch.
"SPECIALS" IN SUB PLANS
When including activities such as PE and Music in your sub plans, please be sure to let the teacher know that he/she needs to stay with the class. We've had a couple of times over the last few weeks when people have not stayed with the students. Because we do not share confidential information, such as medical conditions, with Jay or Jane, it's essential that a teacher is with the class at all times.
CLASSROOM CLOCK
If your classroom clock is not working, please let Vicki know. We'll be submitting a site work order on Wednesday. Thanks!
TECH TIP OF THE DAY
How to request online program accounts for your new student: If you get a new student please submit the form below so that Lisa can setup accounts for them for the programs she manages. Programs managed by the district should have students added automatically.
