Week 10

 

Hi Team! I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was great! I am absolutely thrilled and relieved with our election results! HISTORY WAS MADE! I am hopeful that our country will move in the right direction. There are a lot of updates this week, so please read the blog carefully.

Monday Preparations

Today, please make sure that you take inventory and have everything that you need for working from home. It might be helpful to make a list. Write down any supplies or curriculum that you would need to work from home. As the numbers of Covid cases rise, it's important to stay prepared. There are a few things to keep in mind. 

• Make sure that you have a professionally acceptable background and that you are dressed appropriately.
• Stick to your schedules. I need to be notified of any possible changes to the schedule.
• Check your email at least twice a day (at minimum, once in the morning and once in the afternoon). If you receive an email that requires a response, please do so in a timely manner. This includes emails from me and from parents. Responses to Remind and Dojo should happen much sooner.

Special Education - 

AIMSWeb Progress Monitoring

This is something that should be occurring on a weekly basis.  Please make sure that you provide this service to your students by the end of the week.  This is a data tracking system that we will use to indicate growth.

Interim Testing

Please make sure that you have the Interim Calendars.  Let me know if you need them.  Also, you will want to print out the interim assessments so that you can prepare your students for taking the assessment.  

Attendance Issues

Any attendance issues should be reported to Mr. Bynum. Any student that you have consistently reached out to and cannot reach, please send him an email and copy me on it as well.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Please check your email this week for updates regarding parent-teacher conferences. Classroom teachers will be scheduling their virtual PTC's and you will want to reach out to your teachers so that you can join the PTC to answer any questions that might arise regarding Sped Services or Specials for your students.
