Staff News Letter
2/3-2/7
I wanted to thank everyone for all of the extra time and
effort put into a successful Curriculum
/Multi Cultural Night. It looked like
attendance was fantastic. I feel that
the extra time and effort were worth the interactions we were able to have with
our parents and students. In addition to
the wonderful attendance, you each did a fantastic job developing what you
shared with your parents. The PTA did a
wonderful job with the multi cultural events in the gym as well. The number of people that are willing to come
into our building and volunteer their time for our school always touches me.
Just a reminder that we will not have faculty meeting this
week, but we will have ISTEP training on Wednesday.
For *3-5 grades, I hope you have been able to get your
students into the computer lab to practice the new SAGE testing software so
students can become familiar with the test format and tools. If you have not yet had a chance to practice
with your students, please schedule time to do so. The writing portion of the test will begin as
early as March.
Looking over the DIBELS test results, we are seeing a great
improvement trend with our students.
Solid instruction in the classroom and a wonderful job with reading
intervention are making the difference.
Keep up the wonderful work you are doing.
Because I will be gone to a conference for a few days next
week, Jennifer will be your contact if you have disciplinary issues. Just remember that we have cameras in the
school, so I will know if you wear Levis or not while I am gone. The same thing goes for short shorts,
streaking, or visible midriffs.
