Principal Peek at the Week: October 28-November 1

Week of October 28-November 1

Welcome back to Pamela and Welcome back to Casey Knight who returns on Monday!

Please take a few minutes and give us feedback on what you might want stocked in a resource/supply room and what larger instructional resources you would like. Jessica compiled a list of possible options for you to use as a guide.

Here is a link to the survey.

Please let us know your October Student of the Month. It will be the student who displays responsibility. Here is a document were you can add your student name.

We are going to be narrowing our standards and marking ones that are essential in ELA over the new few weeks. The district will use this to decide on essentials for the district. Please read the following protocol as this is what we will use to narrow our standards.

If you have 504 students that have testing accommodations, please let us know when you are giving a classroom assessment and we can help you figure out accommodations.

Town Hall Awards will be Monday in the cafeteria. Here is the schedule:

8-8:20 - 1st Grade

8:30-8:50 - Kindergarten

9:00-9:20 - 3rd Grade

9:30-9:50 - 2nd Grade

10:00-10:30 - 4th Grade

10:30-11:00 - 5th Grade

Please remember to place dots on things that you use and would like to keep in the book room.

Teachers, if you have a child in your class that has allergies or is a diabetes, your Halloween/Fall party items MUST BE CHECKED BY THE NURSE. If you are not sure if you have a student that may have an allergy, email Teter and she will check for you.

If you are having volunteers come in for your party , THEY MUST HAVE A CURRENT BACKGROUND CHECK ON FILE. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER IF THEIR BACKGROUND CHECK IS NOT UP TO DATE. 

Walk Throughs this week will still be focused on 3C: Engaging Students. We will specifically be looking for the Inclusion, Discovery and Student Self-Reflection parts of the Instructional Cycle and Kagan structures used.

The Fire Marshall came by last week as well and noticed that some classrooms are using Christmas Lights. He said they should only be used for a short amount of time like a holiday. He said that LED lights could be used with a transformer for the lights, this will help reduce the risk of fire. We will be coming around to check lights if you have some to see if they are the correct ones. We don't want him to come back and still see the same lights up.

Below is what he is referring to:

Here is the information for the November 4th PD Day:

***In addition to this schedule, we would like 5th grade teachers to participate in a working lunch with Junior Achievement BizTown from 11:00-12:00 at the same location as Into Reading. This is needed to prep them for the district-wide 5th grade participation in the BizTown program. I will communicate this to your 5th grade teachers.
