Monday Morning Memo - Week 10
11/4/18 Let's get it!!!
Dear Poupard Leaders,
Holiday Help
The holidays are right around the corner and our staff does an amazing job supporting the students at Poupard. Please connect with Brandy, Cindy, Rachel or I if you know of a family in need and we will do our best to pair them up with the programs at our disposal. Thank you for working to meet all of the needs of our learners and their families!
Magnet Nominations
Child Study search for magnet students has begun with parent notifications. Parents with students in grades 1st-4th are encouraged to nominated their child for formal clustering in math, ELA or both or for magnet fall 18-19.
*Parent nominations will be accepted through December 12th.
*Teachers nominations begin in January and will be accepted through February 6th, 2019.
Teachers, let me know if you have students that you believe would make great candidates for the magnet program.
Lexia
Keith Howell had shared some great news a couple weeks back. Through remaining funds from the Early Literacy Grant, the District was able to secure the Lexia Core5 Reading Unlimited School Subscription for ALL students including 4th and 5th graders for the remainder of the school year. Please connect with Karen Cueny if you need assistance in getting your students up and running.
Nov 12th PLC
Our November 12th PLC is slotted as an PD Resource Day. For our new staff, we'll use this day to share out about our learning on November 6th and share it with other staff members. Additionally, you will have time to investigate new concepts further and dig deeper within the concepts presented. I can't wait to hear about the exciting information you all gather and begin seeing it action!
Thanks for all you do and have a great week!

Nuts and Bolts - Updated 10/14/18
- Please be sure to notify Emily and Kathie if there are changes to your specials schedules. Their students have mandated general education hours and its extremely important that they attend their specials.
- Please continue to send any PTO Ambassador forms to the office.
- Please share your weekly newsletters with me by "Ccing" me when they are emailed out to families. This allows for me to stay connected with all of the exciting things happening inside of your classrooms.
- Dragon Dollars have been passed out and used for students in (Y5-3) for our weekly raffles. The school store will be available for students in grades (4-5). Students in grades (Y5-3) can save up their Dragon Dollars if they would like to spend them once they reach 4th or 5th grade.
- Behavior Referrals must be completed using the Online Behavior Form. Staff must complete the behavior form anytime a student is sent down to the office for a major office referral. Homeroom Teachers and Special Area Teachers are responsible for contacting the family to notify them of any incidents that occurred inside of the classroom. Please call home over an email whenever possible. Personally, I'd recommend sharing anything over 3-4 sentences over a phone call as well.
