K8 Memo

Points of Interest 


State Testing.  

Please be sure to have your classroom set up and ready for testing before students arrive.  This includes having the proctor manual ready, test tickets, and the classroom prepared(seating arrangement, cover or removal of anchor posters, etc.)


Here is a link to our day-by-day SBAC Schedule.  Please check in with me if you have any questions.  Additional Links:


School Climate Surveys - ACTION 

Please be sure to complete the School Climate Survey and have your students do the same.  This is due today!   This survey will take less than 20 minutes to do. 


Friday Night Out Event

Next Thursday, May 25th is our spring Family Night Out event. This event is being provided in collaboration with the Friends of Loon Lake Library.  We will start in the cafeteria and then move into the auditorium.  Please be sure to send home the backpack fliers being placed in your mailbox.  The focus of the event will be reading strategies!  Please let me know if you are interested in helping.



Character Strong/Purposeful People

Please continue to do your weekly Character Strong/Purposeful People lessons.

 

Kindergarten and Pre-School Registration

Please encourage families with little ones to register their kindergarten and pre-school students.


Health Presentations

It is the time of the year that we present our health-required curriculums.  Nurse Sherri is sending out letters and will be  hosting a parent preview night on May 23rd at 4:00 PM. 


MWSD Open Positions

Several positions have been filled.  Please pass on the current opportunities:

  • Community in Schools- Open

MTSS Update

MTSS Roundtable Process


In order to support the PLC work, I have gone through FastBridge and looked at interventions, noting the Common Core standards they correlate. Under each standard ladder on the priority standard document, I listed assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring tools that match those standards in the notes section. As you continue to complete ladders, I will update them. I am sure we will notice gaps along the way. This information will help guide curriculum choices and additional intervention options.


I'll be emailing FastBridge log in information to grades 2-8 this week. Please check to make sure the list is accurate. I've done my darndest to update it according to homeroom but it's something of a moving target.


Last day of push in services is May 18. I will try to catch my kids receiving tier 3 services as much as possible but we will be knee deep in administering Early Reading and Math and 1st-3rd grade CBMs.
