The Friday Weather Report
PTO Carnival – Great ideas yesterday! E-mail Teresa Euken directly if your class has your basket idea. The sign-up for working the evening is in the lounge. Please participate however you can. I do not want students to feel like they have to contribute monetarily but know that kids would love to help however they can. Have fun with it – I think it is a great idea and the kids will love it.
Purchase Orders for 2007-08 are due Friday, May 2nd. These would include any PTO purchases for this year. Orders for next year (2008-09) will not be due until after our May team planning day.
Gates & Fluency will be completed next week (May 5th). Please coordinate the schedule with Lorie before the week ends.
Parent Advisory Meeting – Our last one of the year will be on May 6, at 7:00 pm. Any staff members are welcome to join us too. We will be finalizing approval of attendance policy and discussing spring, summer and 2008-09 items.
After School Math Celebration will take place on Tuesday, May 6th. We will have each teacher keep their own students from 3:10 – 3:45 to practice and then have a class contest to choose four students. Four students from each room will compete in the gym starting at 3:45 pm. Please let your students know that parents and grandparents are welcome to join us in the classroom and gym.
Professional Development –Next PD is scheduled for May 7th at IPS. The Smart Board presentation has been postponed. We are looking to purchase 2 SmartBoards for our building before the end of the year and training would take place with the boards we have in place.
All Teachers – who have me for an evaluator need to schedule a final conference with me. Those on cycle, we will go over the portfolio, comprehensive review, and go over the summative evaluation. All teachers will need to meet with me to go over the summative evaluation and Individual Teacher Career Development Plan by May 16th. You will need to bring the ITCD plan with you and necessary documentation (data, etc.). If you do not schedule one by the end of the day Wed, May 7, it will be scheduled for you.
Track & Field Day – Notes for track should be sent home today (Thurs). Please post the schedule in your room and begin talking to students about expectations when we are at the track on May 9th.
High School Leadership Update – Mr. Schmidt announced that formal 'team interviews' for Associate Principal will take place on Wednesday, May 7. The team is made up of HS staff, parents, board members and Mr. Schmidt. The advertisement for the Senior HS Administrator was in this past Sunday’s paper and screening and interviews will take place in mid-May.
I love Calvin & Hobbes. This one made me think about a few “situations” that have come up with students (and staff J) the past couple weeks. Remember, they are kids. They are not adults. Many of these kids are dealing with adult like problems at home and sometimes we lose sight of that. Do your best. Be patient. Give a hug.
