From the Principal's Desk....
M-STEP Preparation – Teachers, with the beginning of the 3rd & 4th grade testing window just a few weeks away, please be sure to continue laying the groundwork for a successful testing experience by working with your students on the M-STEP practice items. Parent informational letters were sent home on Friday. Please be sure to access the M-STEP Supports Request Form by the end of the week. If I have specific questions about your requests, I will be sure to come and talk with you.
Announced Observations - I would like to begin scheduling the next round of observations. Please schedule a time with me to observe in your classroom before the end of April. 3rd & 4th grade teachers, I would like to come observe prior to starting M-STEP testing.
Hot Rod Middle School Musical - On April 19th, 2nd-4th grade classrooms have been invited to attend the dress rehearsal for the middle school musical. They will begin at 1:00 and stop the show by 2:15 so that students can return in time for dismissal. Megan Scott will be sending letters out to teachers soon with more information. Please mark your calendars.
Field Day - Field Day has been scheduled for Monday, June 4th.
PAWS Passes - Please make sure you are consistently giving out PAWS passes throughout the week. We want to make sure we are reinforcing positive behavior. Also, please spend some time when we return from Spring Break reviewing the expectations in shared spaces.
- Lesson Plans - Lesson plans should be up-to-date on the first student day of each week.
