GROWTH MINDSET
REMEMBER TO...
2. You all do a GREAT job of celebrating student work in the hallways! Please be sure you are changing out your displays in a timely manner. Additional, please check for curling corners. Remember work displayed with pride sends a message!
3. Remember that parents need and are looking forward details of the curriculum their child is learning. Now is a great time to review your newsletters as a team to ensure your newsletters are providing the details that help them understand what their child is learning.
4. If you run into questions or problems with your MOY assessments, please let Tricia know as quickly as possible.
5. For your mid-year conference, you do not need to bring anything. Just come ready to talk about where you are in achieving your goals this year and what we can do to help you at this point.
6. During the next round of PLC's you will learn about the last 3 Steps for a Language-Rich Interactive Classroom. It is an expectation that everyone is implementing the 7 Steps in your classroom with your learners. If you need additional help, please let me know.
7. I believe all mid-year conferences have been set. If you have not received an invitation from Tricia or myself, please let us know. I promise it is not an intentional over look but a result of the crazy calendar! :)
8. All summates have been set as well, again, if you have not received an invite, let me know!
