What a crazy week- a full moon and Halloween!
Using the term "Rti"- ALL STAFF
It's been great to see the work you have put into our tier 2 and the "Power Half Hour". I have been so impressed with the conversations where we are really looking at student need in each grade and how to address it. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make "Power Half Hour" effective.
In your conversations, I want to challenge you to reconsider your use of the word, "Rti". Rti is not Julie/Cheryl and Gia. Rti is our entire system- core/grade level instruction, tier 2, and tier 3. Julie/Cheryl and Gia are our tier 3 programming. Rti is our building structure to ensure that students get rigorous grade level standards AND support for skills they are missing (grade level or foundational skills). As we move forward, consider using "tier 2" and "tier 3" instead of just "Rti".

The Valet Parking for the Week goes to 1st grade teacher, Michelle Simon! Michelle is an outstanding teacher who has high expectations for her learners. Michelle loves to see kids succeed and will take multiple approaches with them to ensure mastery. Michelle always has a positive attitude that is contagious. Thanks for all you do, Michelle!
Thank you to everyone for this past week. It's hard being out of the building for two straight days. It's great to know things just move along smoothly without me. A huge thank you to Justin Lang, Justin Lang, and Annette Kleinschrodt for assisting with some unique situations. We truly have the best team here at McKinley!
Enjoy your weekend- and trick or treating!
