Look ahead for September 19, 2016

Notes from Mr. Ross:

There are seven million minutes from Pre-K to graduation.  Don't waste a moment!

We have a very busy week ahead!  I will need everyone's help this week in order to accomplish all we need to this week.

Ms. Seybolt will be at a training Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  I will be out at a training, again, this Thursday.  Our AU team will be at half strength all week due to additional training.  This will need to be a week where you are taking care of business in your classrooms.

I will be spending the majority of my week in classrooms.  I am getting a finalized roster from human resources that has the teachers not needing an observation this academic year.  We will begin informal walk through observations ASAP.  These walk through observations do not count towards your final TLE score.

Learner First survey's will be handed out Monday morning.  Kinder through 2nd take a reading survey and 3rd through 6th take a mathematics survey.  It is VERY easy and should NOT take much time.  I am requiring that our Kinder through 2nd grade teachers take a few minutes during their small group instruction time to take the surveys with the students.  3rd through 6th grade mathematics teachers should take a few minutes and have their classes fill out the survey in class, preferred in small groups as well.  The survey's will be collected Thursday so that they can be input by the required due date on Friday.

Some final thoughts:

We are still having concerns come through the front office that clearly show we are not doing a good job making contact with parents.  We are not calling about grades, discipline, homework, or positive interactions.  My expectation is to be the LAST person that the parent hears from, not the first!

Grades MUST be in the infinite campus grade book.  If you are having trouble we can get you some help.  I AM looking twice weekly to make sure they are in the grade book and updated in accordance with district policy.

Smile!  If you feel like you can't fake it 'til you make it.  Kids feed off of you... how do you want your classroom to run?

Once the student has successfully logged on, they will then select either STAR Early Literacy (K-1), STAR Reading (2-6) or STAR Math (2-6). After selecting an assessment, the student will need to select the class labeled reading. The student will then proceed with the pre-test. Once the student has completed the pre-test, a box will pop-up asking for a monitor password to advance to the real assessment portion. Please note that the student will select the class labeled reading for both STAR Math and STAR Reading after they select the designated assessment from their dashboard.
