Happy Friday the 13th, McKinley!
What a great full week of school! It's been great to see "the magic" back in action!
Last reminder - all items in the welcome back to do list are due today. This list was provided for all staff. As we talked about at our August 27 staff meeting, professionalism and timelines are a big rock for everyone this year. Please take the time to double check that list (you don't need to email me - it's assumed you did it).
Staff Power Hour - Monday:
Just a reminder about this Monday's Staff Power Hour (9/16) -
- Teaching staff only. Our focus for these meetings is debriefing on the READ Act learning work.
- Specialists and those not doing READ Act will have another plan. Please come to meeting first.
- Bring your reading notebook and any notes you have taken. You should be through module 2 - this is critical.
Looking forward to digging in deeper into literacy!
Fall Data & Responding Meetings
Starting 9/25, our teams will meet to look through fall data to plan for core instruction, as well as tier 2 and 3 supports. Please see the linked document for more details. Students will be in the Learning Studio South watching a movie while teacher teams are meeting to plan for instruction. More to come - reserve the date/time!
Toot Your Horn Thursday:
Josh Tolle was our first "Toot Your Horn Thursday" nominee! Michelle Gadient recommended him by saying "Mr. Tolle noticed one of my student had his shoes untied walking past his classroom. He took the time out of his prep hour to come over and help tie the shoe. It is a small act, but I know my student really appreciated it! Thank you for your kindness!" Keep up the great work, Mr. Tolle!
Morning Meeting Follow-Up:
Classroom teachers, thank you for joining us for the morning meeting PD this week. After this, Amy Staloch shared a resource that gives you a daily email with questions, memes, and connection ideas for your morning meeting. It's really good.
