Neil Armstrong Elementary
Dr. Stevenson's Weekly News- Week 21
February 1-5
Weekly Plan-Culture, Communication, Collaboration
Staff,
Well, January flew by and we are ready for the whirlwind of February! Every day I am amazed at the growth I see in not only our students, but in the adults here at NA. Give yourself a pat on the back for tackling change head on this year including Morning Meetings, Check and Connect, Fit Bits, Envisions, Imagine Learning, PLCs, ST Math, new report cards, etc......
- Take about 5 minutes and read the RtI article at the end of this newsletter. I think it is a great refresher as we have passed the mid-year point of our PLC work. We are doing great work and I look forward to getting more of you trained in Minneapolis this summer.
- FAST testing is complete and we will spend all day on Monday in PLCs reviewing the data and regrouping and analyzing interventions and growth. It will be a day full of collaboration :)
- Thank you to the potluck committee for the Taco lunch on Monday! It was delicioso!
- Keep working on getting parent teacher conferences scheduled! I know it isn't easy, but we have lots to share and it is worth it!
- We have a new intern with us from St. Ambrose from 2:30-5:30 on M, W, and F. Her name is Karissa Alfred so please say hello if you see her! She is working with Rock It!
- We have a 27th student starting in 2A on Monday so have posted for a four hour para for that room.
- Our walkie talkies are back and programmed so please use them as a way to improve our communication across the building.
- Take some time next week to think about our school culture. What are you doing to make it better every day? Even adults need PBIS so take a minute and say thank you to a fellow co-worker(s). You never know how far a smile and warm greeting can go!
