Friday Focus - February 8th, 2019

ROUND 2 MAP 

Round 2 MAP results are in and there is much to be celebrated.  We will talk next week at PLC's in-depth about the data but I wanted to share with you now.  Please spend some time looking at the following data and be ready to discuss next week.

I am always interested to see how we are performing compared to the previous year.

MATH PD 2018 VS CURRENT YEAR

READING PD 2018 VS CURRENT YEAR

WIG CELEBRATIONS

We will be rewarding students who are proficient or distinguished in each area as well as students who met their RIT goal from the fall testing.  Students who meet one of these two criteria in MATH will receive a soft drink.  Students who meet one of these two criteria in READING will receive a chocolate chip cookie.  We plan on having this celebration Tuesday, February 19th.  I will need the number of students per grade level next week during PLC's.  We can discuss if you have questions about who qualifies.  

PANTHER LABS
We plan on beginning Panther Labs the week of February 19th for select groups of 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. If you would like to teach at a Panther Lab - please let me know ASAP.  Below is a link for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers to add students they would like to be invited to these labs.


OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
-We need to move the date of our Student-led conferences/FLN once again due to the board meeting going to be held at CCES on 2/28.  Our next date is March 7th from 4-6.
-We are going to ask that EACH staff person sign in each morning in Ms. Sonya's office when you arrive.  This is a habit we have gotten out of but it is important.  We are having some lapse in communication when people are absent and not knowing many times until much later in the day.  Sonya will be checking the sign-in sheet when she arrives each morning and we will be looking for you if you have not signed in.
-Also, please remember to email or text Whitney, Sonya and myself when you are going to be absent.  It is important that all three of us receive this in writing so we don't miss anything.  
-Absence forms, expense reimbursement forms, field trip requests and transportation request forms are now all online from the district webpage under Employee Information.  This is the method you should use for all of the above requests instead of hard copies.  Please let me know if you have questions.
