Updates and FYI's
BOY checklists are due. We have not been able to get to one item on the checklist (Data Binders) due to the RtI update in processes. You may still turn your BOY checklist in - don't worry about checking that box. We will be getting to it in the next few weeks.
DATE CHANGE - Our new District Literacy Coach - Kelly Leach -will be coming on Oct. 7th and not on this Wednesday. The date is updated on the collaboration site. Please note on your calendars that she will come to meet with your team to introduce herself, share a little update from the district regarding literacy initiatives, answer questions, and provide resources that you may need. I am proud of where we are and the progress we have made on this Literacy Journey. I look forward to you all sharing where you are and the questions you have to move forward. Again, she will be here on Oct. 7th and meet in your team lead's classroom (Mahan for fourth grade).

You've Got Heart Awarded to: Sheryl Milligan
Sheryl volunteered to give the TPRI for a teammate on maternity leave. When the TANGO app wouldn't work she did it on paper and all with a smile on her face!
