Master Schedule Input
As you know, we work with site team to develop the schedule for the upcoming school year. We have taken feedback from all grade levels and special areas and have developed 3 possible schedules based on everyone's input. As we know, there is never going to be a perfect schedule, but our goal is to best meet the needs of all of our students. Please look through the 3 options, this year's schedule being one, and fill out the linked Google form ranking the options and providing feedback. We would appreciate all feedback by Friday, May 25th.
Warmer Weather Dress Code
Pink and Blues
The papers are in your mailboxes ready to fill out.
Please make sure girls are on pink paper and boys are on blue paper.
We will sort the pink and blue cards during your PLC on June 5th and 6th. You must have these filled out prior to the meeting. We will not take PLC time to fill them out.
For the STAR scores, please include their grade level equivalent score, scale score, and growth for grade level equivalent for both ELA and math.
When marking below grade level, on grade level, or above grade level, this decision should be made through an evaluation of STAR scores, student grades, and teacher judgement. You know your students best!
If the student is on any type of behavior plan, please attach it to their pink or blue card.
We will have a sped and ELL person present at the PLC to help to place students into the 3 class sections.
Grade level teams will be helping to place students into evenly dispersed sections, not selecting what teacher the students will have next year. The selection of teachers for each group of students will be done by administration.
