Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!

Reminders and To Do's:
- Remember to send all students to the Restroom with a buddy to check the RR prior to use and after. Dave sent an email.
- Playground for afternoon recesses will follow this schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Friday - Kickball will be played and NO Soccer. Tuesday and Thursday- Soccer will be played and NO Kickball. We hope this will assist in supervision needs and some issues we've had pop up at these competitive sports during recess. AM Recesses are determined by Teachers on duty.
- I will be trying to drop in on Team Planning times at least one time a month to check in and see where each team is at with the pacing.
- Check the calendar and invites for Math Meetings with Mrs. Stoddard.
- Once your team completes a full data teaming in Math or Reading for the Quarter share this doc with me.
- Remember Formative and Summative data is vital to be reviewed and discussed in a timely manner then giving feedback to those students in the same fashion. Otherwise it is meaningless. Be sure your teams are following this mantra with assessments.
