March 12 Update

Happy Friday, McKinley!

Just a reminder - next Thursday is our rescheduled International Fun Day at Work!  I hope you are planning your outfit(s) and gearing up for a great day of fun!  

Teacher of the Year Nominee:
A huge CONGRATS to 5th Grade Teacher Mark Langlois for being nominated for Owatonna Teacher of the Year!  We are so lucky to have Mark - and his passion and expertise - at McKinley!  Congrats, Mark!  

Progress Monitoring Data
Grade level teams met back at the end of January and determined interventions and support for students who are not yet meeting the benchmarks.  Please continue to regularly check in on the progress monitoring data to see the growth in Fastbridge (and with PRESS for decoding and phonemic awareness interventions).  In order to be effective, our tier 2 interventions must be fluid and responsive.  If you have students who are not showing any growth, it is time to revisit the support. Reach out to Libby if you would like to collaborate around the data or if you have any questions.  

Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment
Please remember to enter your data into Infinite Campus prior to leaving for spring break.  Here are the directions for entering into Infinite Campus.
