Back to School Night
Thank you for all you do.
P.T.A. NEEDS YOU
Just as you need PTA, they need you! PTA is asking that 100% of our teaching staff becomes a member of Kettering's PTA. Membership is $10. - a small price to pay for the endless support, gifts and special treatment throughout the year.
Become a Kettering PTA member this week.

YVETTE'S Corner
Yvette’s Message - Happy 2019-2020! I am excited to work together and make Kettering an even more amazing place to learn. I will be on Kettering/Naples campus T and W.
First up from the counselor’s office:
> Class lists are looking good so far. We may have overflow the first month (GR. 4-5). Please include them as if they were your own student. We can have overflow for up to 20 days after their first day at Kettering.
> 504 Plans will be placed in your box if you have a student with a current 504 Plan.
> Our ELPAC team will be on Kettering Campus Sept 24-25 to conduct INITIALS only.
> SBAC Interim Assessments may start as early as Sept. 16. You will get an email from CA-Assessments-DoNotReply CA-Assessments@ets.org> (it may possibly drop into your junk mail). Please follow directions to create your new F#ncy!8 password and save it in a secret place. You will be directed to sign an electronic SBAC Affidavit rather than a paper one this year. Once you create your new password you can begin accessing the CAASPP Interim Assessments and Reporting System, as well as the extensive resources available in the Digital Library.
> SST information on students live in LROI. LROI>Applications>Student Study Team>search student (you may need to toggle to ‘18-’19 or ‘17-’18 school year to see previous SSTs). Paper directions are on my door.
> Counselor Referral Forms: teachers, staff, parents, and students may complete a form and place in my box. Once I am back on campus I will attend to the referral forms asap. :-) They are on my door.
Future business:
> GATE Screening: Oct. 7-22 for all 2nd and 4th grade students not already identified. GATE post-screen (second round): Nov. 4-20. I will send out a schedule early October.
> SBAC/CAA/CAST test window: April 20 - May 29. A specific schedule will be coming soon to a theater near you. ;-D
> Sanford Harmony: schedule TBD. See me if you want to get started ASAP. I can conduct a couple of sessions for you, then you can continue the program throughout the year. SH should surely be in full swing this year in every class. :-D
Let me know when I get a “spot” on your bulletin. I will not recreate the wheel so I usually just duplicate for each site and change the details as needed. I will surely want my Google site Link attached to the bulletin each week so the teachers can click and go! https://sites.google.com/lbschools.net/counselor-corner-with-mrs-g/ADHD
LAST CALL for CHANGE OF DATES
On Tuesday, August 27th I gave you a copy of RAPID Training and Teacher Planning dates. Please confirm that these dates work within your calendar, then secure needed substitutes. You will also need to sign up for your RAPID training days. On the attached schedule, I have highlighted the MyPD course numbers.
If any of the dates do not work for you or your team, let me know so we can change them. I will be placing all dates in the Google Calendar.
Thank you,
Rachel
