Safety on Campus

In light of the recent tragic school shooting in Georgia, we must continue to be as vigilant as ever with safety on campus.

Continued reminders:

1. Doors are shut and locked at all times. No exceptions. No propped door ever.

2. NEVER allow students to open classroom doors for people they don't know.

3. Active supervision. Make sure every single child under your wing is accounted for. Walk behind the class or beside the class so you can keep watchful eyes.

4. Playground and recess- all adults spread out to ensure we have eyes on all play areas.

5. See something, say something! Report all suspicious activity to admin and to the office. Never allow an individual to roam hallways without a visitors sticker.

MAP Growth Testing & Data Analysis

Great job with MAP testing so far!

Once you have completed testing, each teacher will use this document to compile students' MAP Data so we can determine next steps:

You will analyze student performance in your PLCs. Please share a copy of your data sheet with all 3 admin.

All Things PLC

Thanks for kicking off PLCs with a focus on student learning!

Read this PLC document and takeaways. Is this true for your PLC? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Eu9QV4H3K8jC50aelSEqXSPiNDnqJOG2U5-2qjSYagA/edit?usp=sharing

Make sure that you protect these 2 45 min PLC sessions focused on TEKS, analyzing student learning/work, exploring resources and NOT on housekeeping and other matters.
