As you prepare your planning for the second semester, please utilize the SMUSD Literacy Website for guidance and resources on high-leverage practices in ELA instruction.

ELPAC administration for Listening, Reading and Writing will be the week of February 3rd.

Save the Date: Training Date for teachers administering ELPAC will be on Thursday, January 16th!

• Grades 3-5: Please ensure two teachers from each grade level attend the training.
• Grades 6-8: Cristal Serrano will need to attend the training.
• All case managers who have EB students with separate setting in their caseload must attend the traning.

It is imperative that you prepare students and set them for success! Please find time to set student for success by utilizing the practice/training tests. If you need support please see admin or Sam.

Our winter Panorama and Instructional Playbook survey window is approaching quickly! The window will open on January 20th, one week after we return from Winter Break, and remain open until January 31st. If you'd like to get a head start on planning, everything you need to know for administration as well as the links to all of the resources can be found on this document.

Vertical articulation ensures a cohesive learning progression by aligning curriculum and skills across grade levels. It helps teachers build on prior knowledge, address gaps, and support smooth student transitions from year to year!

In order to support this work, we have allocated the following dates for vertical articulation meetings:

Tuesday, February 18 (K-2nd)

Wednesday, February 19 (2-4th)

Friday, February 21 (4-6th)

Middle School Grades 7-8, you will be engaging in this work through upcoming department meetings!

A detailed agenda, including lunch coverage, will be provided as the date approaches. Thank you for your dedication to supporting ALL LMA students!

Please make note of the modified schedule for Friday, 12/20! There are no elementary specials this day, but do be on the lookout for our Kindergarten students on their "jolly jog" throughout our hallways, like last year!

On minimum days, students will have a 20-minute combined recess/lunch. Please see the admin team if you have any questions!

Thank you to the 16 staff members who already completed the safety training!

Reminder: This training must be completed by January 31, 2025!

Please watch the attached 6-minute instructional video detailing proper usage of the Med Sled.
