Monday Morning Memo - Week 3
9/16/19 - Building Routines and Goal Setting
Dear Poupard Leaders,
Professional Goal Setting
It's that time of the year again. I would like for all teachers to begin thinking about their professional goals for the year. I'd like for teachers to use the Goal Setting Form linked below to begin recording their thoughts about their professional goals.
Similar to last year, I will be meeting with each teacher during their planning time to establish a professional goal for the year. All teachers are required to set one instructional goal from (Domain 1 or 3) from the Danielson Rubric. All probationary teachers are required to set one additional goal from Domain 2 from the Danielson Rubric as well.
Lastly, I'm going to have all tenured and probationary teachers set one goal that will focus on how they will sharpen the saw this year to sustain the grind of a school year.
You may access the Danielson Framework Rubric by clicking here.
Constitution Day
Educational institutions receiving Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education must implement the statutory requirement pertaining to the United States Constitution, on a date designated by statute as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. Section 111 requires that Constitution Day be held on September 17, of each year, commemorating the September 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution.
A wide variety of free grade appropriate lessons and resources have been organized for classroom usage. Go to: http://tinyurl.com/p2399mb
Class Newsletters
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.
NWEA Testing
Please remember to schedule a time for your Fall NWEA tests. Homeroom teachers have the option to administer the tests inside their classrooms or the computer lab. Both schedules are available by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Please Karen or myself know if you have any questions in administering the test.
Have a great week team!

GES3 Dates and Information Page
Walkie Talkie
All Classroom Teachers should have received a Walkie Talkie. Please take it with you when you take your students outside for an extra recess. The office staff will use it to locate individual students, typically for early dismissal.Emergency Information
Please be sure to review all of the emergency information for fire drills and tornado drills inside of your classrooms. We will be doing a sweep to make sure your emergency bags are stocked with everything that necessary and include updated rosters as they become available.
Behavior Referrals
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.
