SHOCKTOBER IS ALMOST OVER!
Wow... do we have a busy week ahead of us! Together we can do it and have fun throughout the week! Keep in mind; it is the last week of “Shocktober”; my advice… take it one day at a time, go home at a decent time and get plenty of rest, so you can be ready for whatever comes at you. Breathe, Thanksgiving Break will be here before you know it!

Kudo's
SWAT
In order to not interfere with Thursday ARD's and 504's, we have adjusted our SWAT schedule so that you are not having to miss SWAT every time you have an ARD or 504 meeting. Starting this week, we will begin to have all SWAT meetings on Monday's and hopefully this will alleviate the problem. We will do our very best to not schedule ARD's, or 504 meetings on Mondays.
This week we will focus on:
- Analyzing data from the 1st 9 weeks assessments
- This is also the week to video tape your lesson, so that we can go through the reflection cycle process next week.

Lesson Framing
- Lesson framing is a campus expectation, please make sure you are posting your "We will & I will" statements as well as referring to them with the students. There are still multiple classrooms where we are still not seeing them. Please make sure your lesson frames are posted this week.
Teaching/Behavior Tip:
We can't just give kids rules, we need to give them why. If you don't you'll still get push back. There needs to be value in what needs to be done.

Highland Park Bulldog Dash!
This year’s PTO-sponsored fundraiser is the HIGHLAND PARK BULLDOG DASH! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Wednesday, November 6th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 short laps) at the Bulldog Dash, which will happen on Friday, November 15. This year our goal is to raise $23,000 for new laptops (grades 2-5) and iPads (Pegasus – 1st) and we need your help! Just like last year, we’ve partnered with the experts at Booster (formerly Boosterthon) to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun.
