Week 8

 

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable weekend. Here are the updates for the week.

Data Day 

Data days will be occurring this week for all grade levels.

Monday - Grades 3-5

Wednesday - Grades 6-8

Thursday - Grades K-2

Students will be in the gym from 1:30- 3:00 pm watching a movie while their teachers are doing data analysis and planning.   

Lexia Usage

It is super important that we are intentional with how we are using Lexia and Dreambox. You need to monitor the time spent on the resource and intervene where appropriate. You should be monitoring what students using GoGuardian every time the students are using the Chromebooks. Know what skills they are working on and intervene when necessary. Celebrate student successes by printing off the certificates that they earn. Remember, if you don't care enough to monitor, they won't care enough to do it.

Halloween Party

On Friday, October 29th, classrooms will host a Halloween party. They can begin their parties right after lunch. Don't forget this is an early dismissal day as well. Lunch will be served that day. Students are allowed to wear their school appropriate costumes to school. 

Black Out Days

Black out days are days where staff is not allowed to take the day off. This typically occurs when we have too many people out and not enough staff to cover the absences. Please understand that when you take a day off, it impacts the team.
