A huge shout out to Mark and Kyle for Choosing their attitude and giving up the gym so the Girls on the Run could complete their practice 5K indoors. Awesome teamwork!!

It was awesome to see all of the support the girls had while running last night. Thanks to the Girls on the Run leaders for organizing last night's run, and thanks to those of you who helped with stations, encouraged the girls, etc.
Be Present
Thanks to all of the 5th grade staff and the other staff members who are accompanying our 5th graders to Camp Amigo. Thanks for being present even when the weather was not cooperating. This is a special opportunity for our students. Thanks for making it happen.

Yearly SKR Surveys
TLT Update
The TLT met on Thursday to begin looking at how our Reinforcement Objectives are written for post-conferences in order to ensure inter-rater reliability. We also looked at the Post-Conference Rubric as we began rewriting/readjusting our goals in order to ensure that they "significantly impacted student learning" and included "observable behaviors." We will continue our work next week with Refinement Objectives.
TELL SURVEY
CLASS LISTS
Please ensure that your class cards are completed by Monday. You will then need to meet as a grade level to complete preliminary class lists. (Jen will be putting the class list procedure in your mailbox.) Please complete this task and turn in your class cards and lists to Katrina by May 22nd. The EL Team will be presenting information on the EL Schedule during our staff meeting on May 16th. This will then allow you time to adjust class lists based on the schedule and/or needs of kids. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns as you are working through this task.
