Staff,
Can you believe the last week of school is upon us! I wanted to use this final blog to remind you of events from this week. Remember on Tuesday we have our PBIS inflatable day: Inflatable Schedule.
May 31st is also our 5th Grade Track and Field Day and All School Picnic. Keep your fingers crossed regarding the weather.
On Tuesday, Kelli is trying to wrap up the MAP retakes, and once the window closes, office staff will print your students' individual MAP reports (one for progress reports and one for the cummulative folders).
On Wednesday we have our Sunshine gathering for those staff who will not be working in our building next year, as well as our fifth grade field trip to the Waterpark of America. Plus the NH Fun Run is at the end of the day starting at 3:00pm. I will also be having the drawing ready for times you can check out on Monday, June 6th.
On Thursday we have our students in the Gateways program attending the Ordway and our 5th Grade Farewell at 2:15pm.
Finally on Friday we have our last All School Meeting at 9:05am, yearbook signing at 10:25 and 5th grade versus staff kickball game at 2:45pm. No special classes, and don't forget the end of the year staff get together at Big Guy's BBQ starting at 4:15pm.

Staff,
This week I'll begin summative and SLO meetings. Teachers who are on cycle for evaluation, I am combining these two meetings together. Teachers on cycle, once you've submitted your Professional Goal Setting Review (SLO) you can sign up for a summative/SLO meeting through Sue. Please sign up for a 1/2 hour block of time and schedule your summative at least one day after you submit your SlO. This will allow me time to review your SLO and submit your summative to you, so you have time to read it prior to our meeting.
Here are dates available for summative or SLO meetings: May 23-27, May 31st-June 3 and June 6. Teachers not on cycle may choose to complete their self reflection of the SLO electronically with me or as a group if your goals and actions are similar.
Also on Monday I will be sending out directions for submitting classroom pictures for our end of year slide show at our last All School Meeting. Wishing you all a great last two weeks of school!

May 16-20 Updates
Staff,
With the school year quickly wrapping up, I wanted to update you on some items for this week. Tuesday at our staff meeting, Dave Grambow and Nancy Dressel will be presenting information on the new platform for our homepage: School Blocks. Previously information was sent out on this, but if you wanted to learn more on your own, feel free to go to their website School Blocks.
On Thursday, Kindergarteners have their Celebration at 2:00pm for their families, and we have our Writers' Extravaganza at 2:30pm. The NH PTO has again purchased cookies for these events which will be delivered to your classrooms.
The Day 6 on Friday is yours to upload your students instructional reading levels into Skyward and work on your end of year SLO review.

Staff Appreciation Week
Staff,
I wanted to remind you on Thursday, you'll have two staff appreciation activities acknowledging your work. The North Hudson PTO is providing staff with breakfast during your late start time at North Hudson in the media center and staff lounge. Immediately after school, elementary principals will be hosting their appreciation gathering at the Willow River Carbonies and appetizers will be provided.
Prior to or after your breakfast on Thursday, this time is set aside for you to begin work on your end of your SLO reflection and your PPG. Again the document you'll access in my learning plan is your professional goal setting view, and the three guiding prompts are as follows: End-of-Year Status of Goal, Evidence of Goal Completion and Lessons Learned. For those of you who don't have data yet, you can complete the first reflection box on the practices you've put in place and the impact they've had on your students and also your PPG (the last item). Here is a link to the video tutorial (also found within the EE tab of this blog) that can assist you in completing your end of year SLO review. End of Year SLO Tutorial
I have set aside your Day 6 on Wednesday to give you time to start filling our your pink and blue cards for class placement. 5th grade you can use this for middle school transition documents.
Your May 20th Day 6 is for importing your F+P data into Skyward and to continue to work on your SLO. Tuesday, May 24 I will start meeting with teams or individual teachers regarding their SLOs. Teachers on cycle, I will review both your summatives and end of year SLOS in the same meetings. Summative meetings will occur from May 25-27, May 31st-June 3 and June 6. Teachers not on cycle may choose to complete their self reflection of the SLO electronically with me.
Finally I have added one more tab to my blog. It is the information from Human Resources regarding Certified Staff Salary Components. You've received this information before, but I thought it would be helpful to be able to access it from my blog.
