October 2, 2009

Saxon Discussion - David VanGorp will be here Monday to meet with the grade level teams to talk about progress with Saxon to this point.  A schedule was emailed out this week - 4th grade teachers - please talk to your kids today about where to report Monday morning!  Please have questions ready for David.

Tuesday Meeting - The teacher meeting Tuesday will start at 3:30 pm.  We will begin with the classroom teachers and discuss the Science Writing Heuristic grant.  Around 3:45, we will discuss a proposed building wide behavior plan.  If time permits, we can discuss the online technology training - I do want to ease some anxieties about expectations and time. 

Skills Iowa - Jim Lippold will be back to work with staff on Thursday, October 8th.  He can work with staff to go over/explore reports or any other Skills Iowa or Assessment Center.  The tentative schedule is below. 
8:00–8:30  Barb Gilliland
8:30–9:30  4th Grade
9:30–10:10 5th Grade
10:30 Rhoda?
11:30 Melissa

Grades - With only two weeks in the quarter, please communicate with parents next week if a child is earning a D or F.  If students need to stay after school next Wednesday to get "last minute" work in prior to the end of the quarter, let me know and I will arrange people to work with them.  I would need to know a ballpark figure of number of kids by the end of Monday.   

PTO Trashbag Distribution - If you have not signed up for the trash bag distribution, please do so today. It will be next Friday night and the following Saturday morning - notice the times have been shortened!
