MTSS Board Presentation
Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to help students cultivate an "attitude of gratitude." And what's more, research shows that it's really good for both them and their teachers!
Among other benefits, gratitude helps kids feel better about school and makes educators feel less emotionally exhausted.
Need some ideas on how to bring gratitude into the classroom? Here are some easy-to-implement activities, many of which can be adapted to fit any grade level. The Gratitude Project: Greatergood.berkeley.edu
"We, as a community, will develop confident, well rounded, and sought after graduates who are prepared for the future"
Report Card Mailing - ACTION NEEDED
We will be mailing home report cards, state testing results, and FastBridge Family Reports for the families that did not make conferences. Please collate each of the three documents by individual student names and turn them into Tammy so they can be mailed out.
Outside Agencies / FERPA
Please be sure to consult with me prior to discussing any of our student's performances in school. This is particularly important in civil cases. A general rule is that all outside agencies will come through my office before students are pulled or you are asked to contribute anything. This includes CPS/DCFS, Attorneys, WISe Team, Guardian Ad litem (GAL), Law Enforcement, etc.
Online Referral Form
Some individuals have been submitting referrals on last year's referral form. I have now disenabled that form and need you to make sure you have this year's link. If you choose to submit referrals online, please bookmark the following link: tinyurl.com/sk822r

MTSS Updates
I presented at the school board meeting on Thursday and advocated for staff to have more time to learn how to use FastBridge and examine data as teams.
The FAQ's and FastBridge how-to cards have been updated in the documents I shared to include finding instructional materials and progress monitoring. Hard copies will be in your boxes soon so you can add them to the ring distributed earlier this fall!
