I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday after a well deserved break. During the month of January there are a lot of items for you to remember.
We have an All School Meeting this Friday at 2:50pm. Over break we had a couple building projects happening: the new sound system installed in the gym and the demolition was completed in the media center bathrooms. These bathrooms will be closed until the remodeling is finished.
Your next instructional reading level update (recording the lowest instructional level) is coming Friday, January 20th. See Assessment Calendar for details. Remember this informal update is based off of your running records, anecdotal notes or comprehension interview. The data collected is important because we have our next big data roll through progress monitoring on Tuesday, January 31st. I am getting subs on this day to extend these meetings to one hour around grade level's common planning time using the format we used during our October Data Day. I will send this schedule out to teams later this week. Again another reason for this new format is so we can have more staff together to problem solve around closing gaps for some of our underperforming groups.
Monday, January 23rd is a professional development day with most certified staff starting the day at Hudson Prairie for PD around the new everyday math curriculum, revisiting running records (primary grades) and Integrated Units of Inquiry (intermediate grades). This PD will be during the am with time in the the pm for most certified staff to work on their SLO-Mid Interval Review.
Remember to upload your mid year SLO data as a file. This is another reason it is so important to have your instructional reading data uploaded in Skyward by January 20th so you have it to work on your SLO in the afternoon of January 23rd. When you have completed it please hit the submit button no later than January 31st. Grade level teachers also review your actions and/or goals you've set for students in special education to assess the plan you've made to maximize their access tier one guarantees.
