Great job last week! It was sure exciting to have our kindergarten and pre-school classrooms filled with eager little learners. Here are some additional highlights from last week:
FastBridge testing went relatively well!
Middle school sports are off to a good start!
Ms. Hart's art lessons are connecting well with students
The breakfasts and lunches are running well and our meals are being eaten.
Middle school classroom mentors started helping in classrooms.
Weekly Class Memo (ACTION NEEDED)
Each week, I send out a staff email memo and a community memo via the S'more app. Please be sure to read both and feel free to add any of the items to your weekly classroom memos.
As we kick off this new year, please be sure to share with me your weekly memo, newsletter, or family communication.
Classroom Walkthroughs
Each week, I have added specific times to my calendar for classroom walkthroughs. During this time in your classroom, I look forward to observing the teaching and learning. I will often connect with students to review their work and ask them to explain what they are learning. Additionally, I will look for observable evidence of your teaching practices. Please be sure to invite me in to see special activities or lessons that you would like me to observe. This week I will be looking specifically for posted learning targets and routines!
Open House (ACTION NEEDED)
This Thursday will be our K12 open house from 5 PM to 6:30 PM. Remember this is contracted time per our CBA for all certificated staff...this accounts for part of the last three days of the year. I look forward to having our families in the building and am excited to see what you share with families in your classrooms.
Pretend you are walking into your classroom for the very first time, after a long day spent either at home tending to young children or after spending eight hours at a job. What would you like to see and know about your teacher and classroom? Please engage with our parents and give them a warm welcome!
Also, help get the word out by including a notice in your weekly communication!

MTSS Updates
A huge thank you to EVERYONE! We are close to test completion with just a few hiccups. I have spent WAY too much time in front of my computer dealing with rostering FastBridge, Wonders set-up, scheduling, and data. It will be great to be back amongst people once we get past our data review meetings on the 14th. Dani, Crystal, Bea, and Mandy are doing a great job of taking care of business; please give them a shout out when you see them!
We continue to look at the schedule to make sure we have push-in support at the right times as well as tier 3 where needed. It will also be important to use our data to identify classes that need the most support.
I am working on gathering our intervention materials and planning training so staff know how to use them.
For our data review day, please bring your laptops. I will provide data cards, screening information, and intervention suggestions. Brett and I drafted a schedule but it will need to be tweaked based on the number of subs we end up with. I will let you know ASAP! ~Diane
