Week 20

 



Happy Friday Team and Welcome to the new month of February!

What a week this has been...but you persevered, made it though, and ensured that all of the Interim 2 Assessments were completed and graded.  Well Done!  

Here we are entering a new month...February...the month of courage, love, and celebration of Black History.  What an amazing month!  I am looking forward to all of it! 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend...get some rest and have some fun!


Week 20 Instruction 
 
This week will be Week 20 of instruction. Make sure that your lesson plans are aligned with and reflect the correct instructional week.

Gradebook

Make sure you are staying on top of your grading and that student grades are up to date by Mondays at 8:00 am.  Parents are checking their child's grades and are making calls as to why the grades haven't been updated.

Regional PD Training

On Friday, February 7th students will not be in school.  It is our Winter Regional Professional Development Day.  Attendance is mandatory for all staff.  This training will take place at Oakside.  You will want to refer to the email sent from Darci Lowney on 1/22/25.

Please...please make sure you are on time for the day and for each training session. Also, you will want to print out an agenda for the day.  Grade 3-5 Self Contained.
