The Blueprint
Boonsboro Middle School Staff February 21, 2019
ELA/Math CFIP
Math and ELA teachers will meet today to discuss Previ Winter Interim results and our next steps. ELA will meet during odd periods and math will meet during even periods---all in the War Room.
Thank you for being flexible so that we can meet while the data is still relevant!
Digital Learning Day ---consider ways your students can participate!
Record Keeping Accuracy
Just a friendly reminder to double check your attendance each morning and to let Kathy know of any errors right away. Mr. Reaves sends a robo call to the parents of all students who are absent, so you can imagine the panic parents experience when they mistakenly get that call. Kathy fields some pretty nasty calls when this happens!
Please also take a moment to verify that your grade book is set up correctly. We had close to 300 corrections that had to be made after Marking Period 2 report cards were distributed, largely because the weighting that was being used was not set up correctly. If you aren't sure that yours is correct, please see Marlene!
Kudos to Mr. Stottlemyer!
Mr. Stottlemyer will be traveling to Austin, Texas at the beginning of March to present at and participate in the South by Southwest EDU conference. He was asked to share his work with the educational version of Assassin's Creed in his social studies classes.
We are proud of you, Mr. Stott!
Walk Through Focus
In addition to Semester 2 observations, the admin team will continue our walk throughs. Over the next few weeks our focus will be on the learning activity we see and how it is making students better readers, writers, or problem-solvers.
Math Counts Competition
Best wishes to Jane Artman and the BMS Math Counts team which is competing in the county competition on Saturday at Tech High! The countdown round begins around 11:40AM.
Good luck!
