The Big Top Team and The Ringleader of the Week
2nd grade won the BIG Top Team for doing a great job in team time discussing how they were going to increase the rigor this year! They had deep conversations around their CFA creation. 4th Grade won the BIG Top Team of the week for being an example to other teams of encouragement and strength!
Week 5: Halfway Point
I want to brag on all of you and the great job you all did with your students at Spirit Day. I saw lots of staff helping our unique students by providing headphones or a hand to hold. I applaud you for jumping in and helping where you could. It was a great celebration! Students were so excited to meet our characters and it truly was a GREAT SHOW. The focus on school attendance was intentional! We shall see how quick we get to sing our song.

Details for the Week
- PROWL (All 3 phases) starts on Monday. We will be providing interventions to 128 kids and enrichment to all the other students! Mrs. Manning and I will be coming over to the PE building to help the last enrichment group get started this week! So excited about this.
- Our first PTO meeting is Monday at 3:45 pm in the cafeteria. We will be sharing school-wide data so please make plans to come support our PTO. They are working hard for us!
- Progress Reports will go home next Monday, Sept. 17th. I will share out the form in case you do not have it, but it has not changed from last year.
- K-2nd grade should have the first entry on SIT Google Docs by Friday, Sept 14th. and then bi-monthly. K-2 should have their first entry by Friday, Sept. 21st and then bi-monthly. Remember to briefly share targeted intervention with results. For example, Sam worked on identifying lowercase letters with the alphabet arch. He can identify the letters in his name but still needs to focus on all other letters.
- MAP Progress Monitoring for students (3rd-5th) will be this week on Friday during PROWL.
- Throughout the year, you will see Mrs. Manning and myself sweeping through your classroom. This past week we went through PROWL. You all are doing a great job of working with your small groups. Keep up the great work!
- Agendas for team meetings this Wednesday can be found in your Google team drive. Grades 3-5 will meet as a grade level. Make sure to look at the agenda to see what items to bring.
- Volunteer training will be on September 12th at 8:30. Please include this on your newsletters. We want as many volunteers to attend as possible. We will be providing breakfast for them. If anyone wants to bring a breakfast item for our volunteers, it would be most appreciated.
- Perfect Attendance for August: Mrs. Manning and I will celebrate with students that had perfect attendance in August this week. We will have three rotations of 10 minutes of recess during PROWL. We will inform students on Monday if they will be attending this perfect attendance recess. This will occur on Tuesday if the rain holds off.
