Weekly Update- April 28, 2017

Happy Friday!
I am out all day at the District Office.  Justin Lang is available; however, please remember he is still teaching. 

I found this on Twitter this week- the Top 10 things that students deserve from us.  I love even the title - not "top 10 things students get from us"... but "deserve".  These 10 items made me stop and think - am I giving these each and every day?

Teacher Appreciation Week:
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week!  Remember, as we have always said, you are all educators.   We all have a role in educating our McKinley learners!
Click here to check the events for Teacher Appreciation Week 2017!

School Nutrition Appreciation Week:
Next week is also School Nutrition Week.  As you know, our students couldn't learn without the wonderful meals they receive.  Thank you to our amazing staff on helping keep our students fed and ready to learn!

EL Family Potluck:
Next Wednesday, May 3rd is our EL Family Potluck from 4-5:30pm.  For those of you who have attended in the past, this is a great event for our family.  It's also a great time to enjoy some authentic food and visit with families.   If you are available, consider attending.  Our families love to see you.  Thank you to Laurie, Liz, and Caryn for all their hard work planning this event! 

Staff Power Hour Follow-Up:
We had another great Staff Power Hour this week.  As you know, our focus is on student engagement and poverty.  I'm always amazed at how reflective you are during our Power Hours.  You have truly embraced a growth mindset and are empowering the collective work we are doing to improve.  Thank you! 

Before our next meeting, remember to "try" one of the action steps!

Have a great weekend - and stay warm!

Staff Power Hour:
We had a great discussion around equity, poverty, and engagement this week.  Below are the 3 action steps we decided to try before our April 26 meeting:

• Try a working memory activity with students
• Provide think time - design your lesson around 5-8 minute chunks with think time built-in.
• Don't let students go home with deficits - remember the 3:1 formula (3 positive experiences to 1 negative)

DIBELS- Spring Benchmarking Dates
We will do our spring benchmarking on May 10-11 in the portable (thank you Amanda and Paige for being flexible with your space!).  Our make-up day will be May 12th.   More information will come on a schedule; however, save the date!

Student Appreciation Video - KARE 11:
Michelle Meiners shared this video with me - it's a video compilation of teachers explaining what they appreciate about students.  Each of the clips is a surprise for the student - the teacher shares what they appreciate.  It's a great video - well worth the time to watch!

For those of you not on Twitter, you are missing out!  Below are 7 effective ways to engage in Twitter.  See me if you have questions - well worth the time to sign up!

April 11- #lovemyschoolday:
April 11th is #lovemyschoolday.  More information is coming on this, but I'm hoping we participate.  It's a great way to show what great work we are doing and why we love McKinley!

Valet Parking for the Week:
The Valet Parking for the Week goes to Special Education Paraprofessional, Stacy Champeau!  Stacy has a strong background in working with students - and it shows in everything she does.  She does a great job of being flexible, patient, and builds strong relationships with our students.  Stacy is always focused on helping support students and teachers.   Keep up the great work, Stacy!

Weekly Update- Friday, September 9, 2016

Happy Friday - what a great first week!  It feels awesome to have life back  into the building!

Follow Up on Mike Mattos
I have been thinking a lot this past week about our McKinley team and the "messages" from Mike Matttos.  I left that session feeling completely rejuvenated and ready to continue our growth as a building to address learning for all kids.  I want to give you all a HUGE "thank you" for the work you are doing.  It was awesome to listen to Mike's ideas and think about all the learning work we have done - focusing on all kids, collaborating on student learning, tier 2 instruction, Essential Standards Charts, and so on....  Your commitment to this process and willingness to "play in the mud" speaks volumes about the culture in our building.  You are willing to do whatever it takes to create learning experiences for all our students.  Thank you for that.  I can honestly say you are the greatest educators I have ever worked with.... and by educators, I mean you ALL (not just teachers). 

Monday Monkey Message
Starting Monday, I will be doing a Monday Monkey Message" (morning announcement) right away at 8am.   During this message, I will update students on our week ahead, as well as recognize students/classes for positive actions/behaviors (PBIS focused).  During this message, we will do the Pledge of Allegiance together as a school.  For those of you going to Specialists (I think grade 3), you can continue with your schedule and do this later in your day.  I will be looking for guest announcers as the year progresses.... more to come on this! 

DIBELS Fall Benchmarking - Tuesday
On Tuesday, September 13, we have a team of retired educators coming to McKinley to administer our fall DIBELS benchmarking.  Libby has created a schedule with this that will have the least impact possible to your schedule.  On Tuesday, please make sure you are quiet as you move through the hallway.  Some grade levels will be administering benchmarks in the hallway/close to the hallway.  Also, a HUGE thank you to Libby for all her work on this! 

Eid- Monday and Tuesday
Students who are celebrating Eid may be gone from school on Monday and Tuesday.  Laurie Wolhart sent an email this week regarding this.  Please be aware of this as you begin to tackle next week. 

Summer Learning Breakfast- Friday
PTO will be holding the Summer Learning Breakfast on Friday, September 16th from 7:15-8:00am in the Big Gym.  Students who are eligible will receive an invitation to attend (with their parents).  If you get a few minutes on Friday morning, stop in and congratulate these students who spent countless hours learning this summer!

Valet Parking for the Week
Our Valet Parking for next week goes to Kindergarten Teacher Paige Larson.  Paige has been a wonderful addition to our Kindergarten team.  Some of the things about Paige that amaze me - the way she interacts/partners with students and families, the way she is willing to try new ideas, and how creative she is!  Welcome to McKinley - we are lucky to have you with us, Paige!

Have a great weekend - spend some time sharpening your saw!
-Justin

Principal's Update- Friday, May 20, 2016

Happy Friday!
I am out tomorrow all day (Friday, 5/20) - Justin Lang is available for anything you need. 

Can you believe we are nearing the end of the 15-16 school year?  Only a few more weeks and summer vacation starts.  Let's finish strong!

McKinley 60th/STEM Gallery/Ice Cream Social Night
We had a great night celebrating 60 years of McKinley.  A huge thank you to all who helped make this night a success - a lot of work went into this!  It was an awesome night of celebrating McKinley! 

Scheduling Changes/Field Trips
Teachers, if you have a scheduling change, special event, or field  trip, please update the shared document I sent out.  This is a requirement.   

DIBELS Spring Benchmarking
A huge thank you to the EA's for their flexibility and hard work in completing the DIBELS spring assessments.  This data has been put into your mailbox; there has been great growth in this area since winter!  Please remember to update the spreadsheet in 365 by Wednesday, May 25th.  Your math facts, DAZE and Words their Way assessment data also needs to be entered into the spreadsheets in the CBM folder under assessments.  First grade, please remember also to complete and record your nonsense word fluency.  See Libby with questions. 

Discovery Lab
Discovery Lab closes next Friday, May 27th (other than for MacLeod's music classes).  As you know, the Discovery Lab will be transitioning to a different instructional space for the 16-17 year.  If you have personal materials in this space, please remove them before May 27.  I will spend some time boxing the science/building resources and supplies to store for next year. 

Class Placements- Tuesday
Classroom teachers will meet on Tuesday, May 24th to create class lists for next year.  Teachers, please have your cards completed by this time.  Staff, if you know of students who should not be placed together, please let the child's classroom teacher know prior to this day.

5th Grade Graduation
The 5th Grade Graduation is Friday, June 3rd from 1:45-2:15pm.  Due to limited seating, we are doing some work now to see if it can be streamed into classrooms.  More information will come on this!

Stages- Goals
I am doing a mini-session for support staff on Tuesday, May 24th from 7:30-7:45am.  This will include entering goals only.  If you want to attend, this is open to any staff who work on goals.   As we get closer to the end of the year, I will individually email you with items that need to be addressed in Stages.

Valet Parking for the Week
The Valet Parking for the Week goes to Literacy Coach Libby Zeman.   Libby has been a great addition to the instructional support in this building (and Wilson).  Libby has an extensive background in reading and knows how to support/coach people.   The thing that impresses me the most about Libby is her desire to continually grow- individually, but also as a McKinley team.  I am so grateful for Libby and all the work she does to support reading in our building.  Thank you, Libby!

It's going to be a nice weekend- get outside and enjoy it!
-Justin

Principal's Update- Friday, May 6, 2016

What a beautiful day we have in store for us!  According to Ch 4 News, it's a "top 10 weather day!".  We have a second group of Rochester teachers in the building today visiting STEM.  Thank you for your willingness to let them into your classrooms yesterday.  During the first group's visit yesterday, they had nothing but positive things to say about your teaching and our building. 

Thank YOU!
This week is Teacher Appreciation & Food/Nutrition Services Week.  A HUGE THANK YOU to our kitchen staff.  I served lunch (for some of the lunches) yesterday.  I am not sure how Lori, Stacy, or Laurel do it.  Not only is it physically exhausting, but the kids move through so quickly.  I'm not sure how they do it- thank you for all you do!

Teachers - I can truly say we have the best teaching staff in this building.  I have never met a group of teachers who are so dedicated, focused, and compassionate about students and learning.  I love your willingness to do anything to help make students successful and safe.  Thank you for that!

All Staff - Even though it's "Teacher Appreciation Week", you are all educators.  Your focus on what is right, your humility, and the level of relationships you build helps make this the best place to be! 

DIBELS Benchmarking is Upon Us!
Some of our EA's will be completing the DIBELS benchmark assessments, May 11-20th.  Please keep in mind when your grade is scheduled, so that they are aware of why they are being pulled out and remind them about being efficient with their transitions.  During other gaps or time or make-ups, EAs will come and pull students that they did not get to during their initially scheduled times.  We appreciate your flexibility with this. 

Also, our hallways need to be as quiet as possible so that EAs can hear what the students are reading (and so students are not distracted by a passing class or group of students). 

Thank you for your help in providing the best environment that we can for gathering this benchmark data!  Data will be copied for you as grade levels are completed.  Please see Libby with questions or concerns.  Click here to access the benchmarking schedule

Track Meet- Tuesday
Our McKinley Track Meet is Tuesday, May 10th.  A huge thank you to Tom, Peggy, and Kyle for their hard work in preparing this - it's a great day for our students.  If you haven't already, please sign up for a work station in the lounge. 

Please be flexible with this day - everyone's schedule is changed.   Also, please discuss behavior with students.  Even though we are at OHS and they are not directly with an adult, we follow the same expectations.  Please be clear with students- any discipline will be handled by me and will more than likely result in a loss of a field trip.  Click here for the track meet schedule

Summer Learning Calendars
We will be participating in a summer learning program for June- August.  The program will run like last year - students will get a calendar to record their learning minutes.  Also, our library will be open Wednesdays to check-out books and work in the garden.  More details will be coming on this!

Valet Parking for the Week
The Valet Parking for the Week goes to Courtney Hugs!  Courtney brings a level of passion, positivity, and excitement to our building.  The thing I appreciate the most about Courtney is her POSITIVE focus on what is right for students!  Courtney has been a wonderful addition to our Kindergarten team - I look forward to seeing her continue to influence our youngest learners.  Thank you for all you do, Courtney! 


Take some time this weekend to get outside, focus on you, and enjoy those around you!  We've got only a couple weeks left- let's finish strong!

Principal's Update- Friday, November 20th

Happy Friday!

I hope you enjoyed American Education Week.  I want you to know that I truly believe in what I said earlier in the week- it takes a village to raise a child.  Each of you play such an important role in making this place amazing! 


Winner, Winner!
Last week, I hid a sentence in the blog that said, "If you read this, email Justin".  I had only a few people send me emails. The prize for this little contest is an hour prep (with a trip to Starbucks) for one staff member while I cover for your class.  The winner- Kathy Feltes!  Kathy, connect with Lorri on a time and date and get your gift card for a Starbucks drink.  It pays to read the blog carefully! 

Winter Benchmarking
Winter DIBELS Benchmarking will be done by our wonderful Educational Assistants.  I don't think this will come as a huge shock to many of you- we've been talking about this for a while now.  Also, through our learning work with the Mattos book, we saw the importance of having a trained team do this for many reasons:  it doesn't take away instructional time, it is done with fidelity, it can be done more efficiently, etc.  Libby will be working with the EA's to train them- more information is coming on this!  

Popcorn with the Principal
Don't forget to write Leader in Me Slips when you come across students living the 7 Habits!  We only have 3 this time, so our Popcorn with the Principal will be a small group! 

Coats to Portable
Our plan is to allow coats to the portable on cold (below or near zero) days.  We will be encouraging students to have a hooded sweatshirt each day.  With the limited space in the portable, the art materials, and the spread of lice, it's too hard to expect coats on a daily basis.  We will try this for a while and see how it goes.

Mindset Link
I saw a great article on Twitter the other night on misconceptions with the growth mindset.  I even had some of the misconceptions!  Here's the article: http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/11/16/growth-mindset-clearing-up-some-common-confusions/

Resources for Close Reading
As follow-up to our staff meeting, Libby has provided some resources to close reading.  If you need help with these resources, or close reading, contact Libby (she would love to help you!). 

• www.readworks.org (Passages have a lexile, focus on a certain skill and many have questions included.)
• www.newsela.com (geared for 4^th grade and up – includes quizzes and aligned to common core)
• https://learn.thinkcerca.com/teacher/lesson_library (similar to NEWSELA)
• http://www.elm4you.org/ (If you are looking for a specific topic, this site is helpful.  Many of the sites on ELM either provide a lexile or provide 3 different levels of the same text content.)

Valet Parking of the Week:
Our Valet Parking of the Week goes to Grandma Dee Dee!  Grandma Dee Dee is a daily volunteer in Lori Huisenga's classroom.  She is such a support for our second grade learners.  She is such a kind, positive woman who truly cares about kids.  We are so lucky to have her at McKinley! 

Enjoy your weekend.. and the snow (YUCK!).

Principal's Update- September 18, 2015

Happy Friday, everyone!
Life has been busy around McKinley!  And, as much as we go home exhausted, it's been great seeing the excitement, energy, and learning throughout the building.

We had our Summer Learning Breakfast this morning.  We had over 85 students participate and turn their calendar in!  Congrats to Jack Langlois for winning the iPod Touch.   Below are a few pictures from the breakfast:   

Building Goals
Below is a link to our building goals.  Our building goals generated from work with Site Team on building data and needs.  These building goals will be the foundation of the work we do this year.  We are still working on our STEM goal- this may change slightly (just the wording).  If you have questions about the goals, let myself or your Site Rep know. 

Click here for the building goals

PTO Sign-Up
Teachers, please consider signing up to attend one PTO Meeting this year.  The link went out yesterday through Office 365. 

Garbage Cans in Hallway
At our Cabinet Meeting, Bob shared a concern that custodial staff had a hard time finding garbage cans in classrooms.  Can you have a student (or two) be in charge of placing the garbage at the door each night?  This will speed up the process so staff can get to other things (cleaning floors, windows, etc.)

PLCs:
Teachers, I will be sending an email out this weekend with some documents to help guide your work as a PLC.  Please use this email when working with your PLC on Monday or Tuesday.   I will try to make it around to each of your PLCs. 

Referendum Video & Representatives
This week, a McKinley team attended a presentation to learn more about the upcoming referendum. This team consists of Michelle Simon, Michelle Meiners, Sonya David, Diane Frazier, and Amy Cocchiarella.  There will be more information coming out from this group as the weeks progress.  If you have questions, see this team or the website:  http://www.owatonna.k12.mn.us/page/2776

Valet Parking for the Week:
The Valet Parking for the Week goes to Kindergarten EA, Tarah Thompson.  Tarah always has a positive attitude toward her work and students.  Tarah and Trisha have a lot of energy coming from their classroom.  Tarah has nothing but respect and care for the students she serves.  She is dedicated to her job and will do whatever it takes to make Kindergarten a great experience for our K4 students.  Tarah, enjoy the parking spot!

Have a great weekend!
-Justin

Principal's Update- September 11, 2015

Good afternoon,
We survived the first week of school!  It's been great to see you "back in action" with our almost 600 students!

Summer Learning Breakfast
Please turn in all Summer Learning Calendars to the office ASAP.  We will then send out invitations to those who will join us for a Summer Learning Breakfast on Friday, September 18 from 7:15-7:45am.  Remember, we will accept any calendar that is turned in- regardless of the learning minutes they logged. 

End of Day in the Office
Please be aware of the "traffic" in the office immediately after school.  I'm not sure if it's because it's week one or due to the increased enrollment, but it is very busy in the office after school.   When I say this, I am not asking you to avoid the office at all times.  I know this is your time to check your mailbox, visit with colleagues, etc.  All I am asking is to be aware of the activity in the office.   It's been a struggle when we have multiple families here with different needs and staff are standing in the having a conversation or watching the family interact with staff.  If the office is a busy place, please take your conversation to the hallway.  See me with questions regarding this. 

Fall Benchmarking (DIBELS & Math Facts)
The Fall benchmarking window is open now.  This will close on Wednesday, September 23.  All DIBELS and math facts should be administered and recorded prior to this date.  Any data entered after will not be loaded into Viewpoint.  If you have questions or need directions, please see Amy LaDue's email from Wednesday, September 9. 

Updated Observation Cycle- ALL Staff
Observations and evaluations will begin soon.  Please see the below link to see where you are at in the cycle and what your assigned week is.  I met with teachers yesterday to discuss summative evaluations.  I will be scheduling a meeting with support staff who will be evaluated this year- watch for this in the next week or so. 

Click here to see the observation cycle and your assigned week

McKinley Weekly Newsletter
Click here for important information regarding next week! 

Valet Parking for the Week
Our "Valet Parking" for the week goes to Ben Kroeger.  Although Ben is the first one here, he still deserves this parking spot for next week.  With all the moving, changes in lunchroom procedures, and increased enrollment, Ben has done a great job of keeping the building looking great.  Thanks, Ben!   


Take some time to decompress and reflect on a great first week.  Enjoy your weekend and GO HUSKIES!
-Justin

Principal's Update- Friday, May 22, 2015

We're nearing the end....  and closing out the 2014-2015 school year! 

Make sure to enjoy the weekend.  According to WCCO Morning News, it's going to be a Top 10 Weather Day!  Take some time after work to enjoy it!

Thank You!
A huge thank you to everyone for all the extra work you've put in lately.   With the close to a school year, it seems like life gets crazy.  I appreciate everyone's flexibility and willingness to help.

A huge thank you to our K Team for their extra hours doing Kindergarten Interviews.  The team met and assessed their incoming Kindergarteners to figure out strengths and areas of growth.  They also identified students who are eligible for their summer program, K Kamp.   Thank you!

A huge thank you to our ELL Team for their work on our ELL Family Potluck.  It was a great event with lots of food!   It was nice to see our staff and families interact and show their heritage!

Audrey Kaplan Grant
A huge congratulations to Paige Gilligan and Katie Demmer for being awarded the Audrey Kaplan Grant.  Paige and Katie will be working on alternative ways for kids to sit, move, and interact in their classrooms.   Both are looking at things like adjustable desks and stability balls, for example.  If you get time, stop in Paige's room.  She now has music risers in her room for instruction!  Congratulations to you both!

Spring Benchmarking
Please get your spring benchmarking data into the spreadsheets ASAP.  Having done this job in the past, I know it's a pain to track people down (and there is a risk the data will be too late to be updated).  If you haven't already, get this data entered. 

Summer Learning Incentive
If you are interested in volunteering on a Wednesday here at McKinley, sign up on the shared document.  This is for all staff, not just teachers.  We will have the library open from 12:30-1 and then work in the garden from 1-2.   We'd love to see you join us!

Summer STEM Training-
Bob sent me a flyer for some summer STEM training.  It's free and local.  Click here to see the flyer- Check it out if you are interested! 

Lockdown-
Nice job on the surprise lockdown practice.  We will spend some time next year talking through these procedures.  One of the biggest things I noticed this time was when you are outside.  I want to clarify the differences between a lockdown and containment (which will help you know what to do if you are outside):

Lockdown- occurs when there is a threat or intruder in the building
Containment- occurs when there is a threat or intruder outside the building

We will be clear when we announce this which it is.  If it's a lockdown and you are outside, move to a safe place away from the building.  Please phone or radio the office so we know you are safe.   If it's a containment and you are outside and close to a door, try to get inside.  If you aren't, try to get to a safe site near McKinley.  This is a judgment call. 

Again, we will review this and our new fire/tornado maps in the fall. 

Book Study-
Our last book study will be next Monday.  Please come with questions you'd like me to be aware of as we move forward with this model.  I want to anticipate and address any concerns before they arise in the fall!

Facilities Meeting- June 1
This meeting is open to all staff and will be about 15 minutes.  The purpose of this meeting is to inform you of the work and direction the Committee is taking in regards to facilities.  If you are interested, please join us.


Have a great weekend! 7 student days left!
-Justin

Spring Benchmarking Window

Good morning,
Below are the notes from Amy LaDue on spring benchmarking.  It is very important we complete this benchmarking process by Thursday, May 22, 2015.

Click here for a directions sheet on benchmarking

Email from Amy:
The spring fluency and math fact benchmark window is from Monday, May 11 through Thursday, May 22.  All scores need to be entered into the spreadsheets by the end of the day on Wednesday, May 27.  On Thursday, May 28 we will begin preparing to send our district results to Viewpoint.

Results should be entered into the spreadsheets located in the staff shared Assessment Folder \\esc01\assessments  Each teacher should be able to access the folder for your school and the spreadsheet for your grade level for both reading and math.  If the folder indicates that you do not have access, send a tech request and the IT department will assist you.

The spreadsheets have been updated with your current class roster.  If you find that one of your students is not listed on the spreadsheet, please add his/her name and benchmark results.   

Here are the steps to enter reading and math fact benchmark results:

1. Click on this link to get to the Assessment Folder  \\esc01\assessments.
2. Click on your school's folder
3. Open the spreadsheet for your grade level
4. Click Enable Editing in the yellow area at the top of the spreadsheet (this may not appear)
5. Student names are in alphabetical order by classroom teacher
6. Scroll to your class of students
7. Type in your students' results for your grade level's benchmarks.
8. Click Save
9. Close the spreadsheet and close the folder
10. Complete for both DIBELS and math facts

Since this is a spreadsheet for your entire grade level, it will not allow two teachers from the same building and grade level to enter results at the same time.  Willow Creek is separated by house.  Data will need to be entered while you are at school. 

Thank you for your work completing the spring benchmark assessments and more importantly for your commitment to our student’s learning.
