Problem Solving Core team met with Jordan Lill and Penny Hudson this past week. Hopefully your PSC member shared some of the learning/discussion with your team. We also have set a "funnel" date for AEA referrals for March 25. Any teacher looking to move a student from supplemental to intensive should meet with Doug/Lyndsay PRIOR to spring break to discuss the student and the data. 


Conference reminders should go out next week for any student/parent who did not schedule their own conference. The majority of these students would be IEP/ESL students and their sibling(s). Please work with your SPED/ESL teacher to make sure those reminders go home (email or hard copy). You can print your schedule and post it outside your room prior to conferences.


Celebrate Reading Week - Please refer to the email from Pam regarding the schedule for next week. Reminder that there will be no early out schedule run on Friday and the assembly begins at 2:45pm. We will call down classrooms/grades. 


Procedures/policy for resources obtained from Donor's Choose are in the works and will be presented to BLT prior to being rolled out to all staff. If you have an item posted or are thinking of posting an item please read through current board policy and Donor's Choose policy as those are current guiding policies. Understand that both policies read that items obtained through grants, donations and sites such as DonorsChoose do become property of the school district/classroom. We're working on the details (i.e. item moving with teacher). Stay tuned. :-) 

If you type in "the laminator" in the search box on this site, my hope is it has less hits than "instruction" or "assessment." :-) With that said, the update on the laminator is we will be securing two well trained parent volunteers to begin processing teachers' lamination projects on a regular basis. The schedule will be posted above the laminator and a container will be under the table for you to drop off lamination. You will be able to attach your name and simple directions if needed when you drop it off. We hope this service helps teachers AND helps Paula/Shelley keep the laminator in working order.
