Week 21

 



Happy "Valentines Day" and "Mid-Winter Break" Week Team!  I know that you are so ready to have some time off, and you truly deserve it.  We have four days this week...so it's going to be jam packed making sure we complete our instructional goals.  Also, we have Count Day and Valentines Day to end our week before we go on break.

Please..please...do not let up on your management.  The kids are getting antsy too...and if allowed, their behaviors will ramp up. 


Week 21 Instruction/Snow Day Assessment Make Ups
 
This week is Week 21 of instruction. Due to the short week, we need to compact the learning to make sure we complete the necessary standard instruction so that we remain aligned with the correct instructional week.

Please plan to complete the Week 20 Assessment by end of day Tuesday, Feb. 18th.

03's and GLTs

These continue this week. We will review the Interim 3 Blue Print and plans for Math and ELA Small Group Instruction during the GLT's. 

During your 03's, we will look at Assessment Data for Interim 2, as well as classroom Question Data from Week 19/20 Assessments to continue to dig into Action Planning for Error Analysis and Reteaching.

Late Start Monday/PD for Staff

Just a reminder that Monday is a late start day for students.  Staff is expected to be at work by 8:00 am.  PD begins at 8:00 am in the gym and then we will separate into individual Wing Meetings.

Doors open for students at 9:55 (No Breakfast Served...No AM Latchkey).  School begins at 10:00 am
