Mary Walker Promise
"We, as a community, will develop confident,
well-rounded, and sought-after graduates who
are prepared for the future"
Parent Teacher Conferences
Please ensure all of your student's families are scheduled for conferences and have received their letters. If needed, please make calls home. During parent-teacher conferences, please discuss the positives and areas of growth for your students, address changes and/or concerns, review attendance, and allow parents to ask questions and give feedback. Additionally, please highlight that State testing starts the second week in May and review the earned ABC field trip.
Finally, connect with me if there are any parent-teacher conferences that you would like me to sit in on.
Spring Break
I am not sure I need to include this in my memo, but next week we do not have school. Please have all food items and trash out of your room on Thursday at the end of the day. I hope everyone is making time to relax and rest over spring break.
3rd Quarter Grades
The third quarter ends on April 10th. Please keep your grade books current to efficiently post your grades when we return from spring break.
Silverwood’s Read 2 Ride
Please remind your students that the deadline for the Read 2 Ride program is March 31.
End-of-Day Release
Elementary Teachers, please be sure to walk your class to the bus every day. This extra supervision helps improve safety for all students.
State Testing
I am not sure that the old adage that ‘practice makes perfect’ is true with state testing. However, I firmly believe that when students complete the practice and training tests, they perform better on the SBAC! Please review the practice and training tests and schedule some time into your teaching to help focus and prepare our students for the SBAC.

Student Expectations
Thank you for the help with hallway access and phone use. Please continue to monitor our hallways and help our students to be safe, respectful, and responsible. Also, please use the hall pass when students are out of your classroom. The semester is a perfect time to review our PBIS rules and expectation posters.
MTSS Update
If I work with your students, I’ll be happy to participate in conferences if that will be helpful to you. If you need help with FastBridge reports, I can help with that as well.
On Thursday, March 30 I will be working with our MTSS coach from noon until the end of the day. (I am anticipating a lot of absences that day but will get in touch with regarding rescheduling kids when possible.) Also, please let me know if you are planning a special activity that day that impacts our groups. Thank you for your understanding!
