PLC Institute Survey (click here)- I'm still missing a few teacher responses to the survey sent out earlier this week. This is for all certified staff and should be completed today.
Monday Morning PD - If you have not turned in your breakout session feedback and pink puzzle sheets, please do so. Everyone else should find their sheets in your boxes. Thank you for the feedback!
SPED Teachers - Please turn in ITBS accommodations and fall/winter benchmark data to Lyndsay by Friday, January 20th
Winter Assessment for Our Goals - It is time for Leslie and I to check progress toward our goals and to see where continued support is needed. Please take 5 minutes to complete the mid-year survey on data collection. Thank you in advance!
Running Record Forms (and anything else) - Any forms you would have Leslie send to print before, please put those in Lyndsay or my box until Leslie returns. We will get them sent off to print for you!
...speaking of print, you may find more print requests back in your box with a question from me. We are running a bit ahead of our budgeted amount for district print. At the end of December we had spent $6463 on district print with a $12,000 budget for the year. Just because it is back in your box, does not mean it is denied, but rather I have a question prior to initialing. I appreciate you looking for ways to cut back on print (emailing notes out to parents, using the scanner and projector, having students use their notebooks, etc.) and sharing those ideas with your colleagues. Every penny counts.
...speaking of budgets, each team will get the annual budget memo from me soon. This year, I am asking teams/teachers to spend their budget prior to Friday, March 2.
Out-of-District PD - Several staff members have talked to me about conferences or workshops they want to attend this spring so I thought I would lay out an all staff response. With the focus this summer of getting as many teachers to the PLC Institute, we will put our building funds in that basket this year. Even if staff members pay for the conference/workshop on their own, our building has to pick up the tab for the sub (est. $130). There are some staff members attending conferences/workshops this year but those are tied to grants (district/outside) or Title I related initiatives. You are always welcome to submit for a grant to attend a conference and sub costs BUT you would need to clear the leave with Lyndsay or I prior to submitting. I hope that makes sense - if not, stop in to chat.
Conference scheduling will change a bit for Brookview and Maple Grove this February/March as we test out an online scheduling program. You will be engaged in an "e-meeting" with me to gain some background in our move to online scheduling so look for that message to come to you next week. A portion of our February 1st PD will be devoted to getting your schedules set up online. I'm excited about the opportunity and I know teachers/parents will be too! More info to come!
Portfolios - The question came up Monday as to when Career-Year 3 portfolios are due this year. The "full-detail" spring evaluation memo will be out later this month but the portfolio due date is set for April 2nd.
Hearing Screens will be taking place on Jan 24-26. Please refer to Kara's email (1/12) for more information. Flexibility and patience is appreciated.
