K8 Weekly Memo


ESD 101 has an excellent opportunity to enhance your teaching this summer.  Here is a link to the website and the Virtual Mentorship Program.  Heather will be joining this cohort…please consider it too.  I've also attached a flier that outlines all that is included in the program. 


If interested, please complete this application as soon as possible as the ESD is preparing to make final decisions on the participants.  




Points of Interest 


ABC Field Trip

Due to scheduling conflicts and needing male chaperones, the k-2 grades will take their Camas Field Trip on June 6th, and the 3-5 grades will go on June 7th.  This is flip-flopped from our calendar.  Please ensure your field trip parent volunteers and participants complete their volunteer paperwork.  


Classroom Observations

I have a few more observations to complete this week and will do additional walk-throughs.


Please be sure to have your learning objectives and standards posted every day.  We want to finish this school year strong and make every day count.  Additionally, please maintain your planning books and/or lesson plans.  I have enjoyed seeing the detailed work that many of you are doing!  

Finally, be sure to have your sub plans current.  Thank you. 


Personal Leave

As the school year wraps up, we want to ensure we finish strong. We have a lot of staff out of the building on end-of-year events and are short sub coverage. Personal leave will only be approved with proper coverage. Additionally, we are not approving personal leave during the last two weeks of the school year.



Summer PLC Unit Planning Workshop

Are you interested in participating in a summer work session to continue unit planning? Please let me know! The district will plan a PLC Summer Jump Start if interest is there.


FastBridge Assessment Schedule op

We start out k-3 FastBridge assessments this week.  Please see Diane's MTSS note below.


Family Night Out Event

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 preschool 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. 


MTSS Update

MTSS Roundtable Process


On Thursday, I emailed FastBridge log-in information to grades 2-8. 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. Remember that we are beginning with the Early Reading, Early Math and CBMs for grades 1-3. Computer-based assessments for grades 2-8 take place the week of May 30.


The last day of push-in services was 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.


Due to issues getting subs, Brett and I are working on an alternative to the data review day originally scheduled for June 8.
