A-Team Updates
*Smores are easier to read than emails*
Happy Summer
Below are a bunch of notes you'll want to review...
A-Team Meeting Monday
Unfortunately, things have just been too crazy recently and we haven't been able to dedicate enough time to properly planning for our A-Team retreat. This being the case, we are going to cancel this year's retreat :( . We will look for a date in August to pull things together kicking off next year.
Other Events Next Week
Regardless, many of us will be together for the principal's LEAD conference (Tuesday and Wednesday) and our Trauma-Care preview (Friday) next week. So, see some of you then.
PD Funds
I am going to be using some PD funds to help with the cost of paying RTI coaches. Count on those funds being drastically reduced for the next three years. It doesn't mean NO PD, but MINIMAL PD. All admins will still have the $1000, and you can reallocate that to teachers if needed. Keep this in mind as I'm already seeing PD requests using next year's funds.
Test Data
I haven't reviewed testing data yet or dug in to validate its accuracy. Data is always subject to change. The scores you see will be different once they're in the SDC (EMIS upload) because students who weren't here for the "count year" are factored out, and retakes are supposed to come out. If you're sharing scores with teachers, just let them know they are subject to change and are considered preliminary until August.
