TGIF!
This update will be short this week...
Staff Meeting- Monday
All certified staff should plan on attending the staff meeting on 3/16. We will be discussing Simplifying Response to Intervention. I will be emailing out some questions that will guide our discussion. If you are a specialist or not participating in the book study, plan on attending to join our conversations. They will be valuable.
MCA Testing
MCA testing is approaching! A master schedule will be shared later today. I tried to schedule your testing with as minimal classroom disruptions as I could.
To prepare for testing, anyone who is involved must be trained. Next Wednesday, March 18, Erin Klecker will be here to offer training sessions (1:30 and 2:45). If you are involved with testing, plan on attending one of these training sessions (required by MDE). Most of you received a calendar invite about this a couple days ago. Questions, let me know.
Valet Parking for the Week
Our valet parking for the week goes to Mark Langlois. Mark is such a critical team player for our 5th grade team, school, and district. Mark will do anything he can for our McKinley students, families, and staff- academically, socially, and emotionally. He's a great teacher who keeps students motivated, engaged and excited about school (which isn't easy in the spring of 5th grade!). Mark, we're lucky to have you on our team.
Take some time this weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather with those who "ground" you. It's important to find people who keep you balanced and focused as a person.
I think the picture below represents many Minnesotans this past week...
