Pinkston PREP
Week of January 14
Message from Mr. Perla
Team,
Thank you for your flexibility as we kick-off our second semester. We will begin our second semester schedule on Monday. Ms. Dyer-Smith will be working on class leveling this week and student schedule change requests. If there are any classes over 24 students after Wednesday, please notify Ms. Dyer-Smith and me. Additionally, if there are any changes we should consider because of class dynamics, please notify us. We are asking for your patience as we trouble shoot issues with Power School.
We will continue to provide leveled interventions for students not showing mastery on TEKS. Ensure you are tracking students based on weekly assessment data and ACP data. We will meet individually to discuss second semester plans. Additionally, complete your updates for ACP Data Walls.
We will begin conducting learning walks to see the common instructional framework in practice. This will be an extension from our Demo Lesson Derby sessions. This will be a great opportunity for us to see lesson delivery as well as best practices in action. I am excited to visit your classrooms. If your name is included in the calendar, you will be visiting classrooms with me and the CILT team.
Thank you to everyone for assisting with our Facebook Live Segment. Our students did an INCREDIBLE job of showcasing the well-rounded experience they receive as PPCA scholars. We are doing amazing work that is transforming our students and our community! I continue to be excited and honored to be a small part of this transformation!
Together We Succeed!
