3 Days of purpose

Our Blueprint for excellence

Team,

We have a short three day week ahead of us before Fall Break. Although our time is limited each day provides an opportunity to support our scholars and gather the information needed to guide our next instructional steps.

This week scholars complete the District Standard Mastery Checks. Please ensure to provide an optimal testing environment that allows scholars to demonstrate what they truly know and can do.

Please remember to:

Follow all assessment procedures and requirements.
Actively monitor throughout each assessment.
Encourage scholars to take their time, use appropriate strategies, and give their best effort.

Remember that results will help us identify strengths, learning gaps, and the action steps we must take as we move forward with support. Accurate data begins with consistent testing conditions.

Also, Monday October 12 is a district Flex Day. Teachers who completed all required summer professional-development hours will not be required to report. Teachers who did not complete their required summer hours must register for an approved training and are expected to report on Monday, October 12. Please verify your hours and complete your registration in advance.

Lastly, as a reminder, please remain intentional about managing student expectations through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system as well as restorative practices for scholars.

Recognize scholars who demonstrate positive choices.
Respond to concerns calmly, consistently, and respectfully.
Use restorative conversations to help scholars reflect, repair harm, and make better choices.

Lastly, thank you for making these three days focused, productive, and positive. I hope each of you enjoys a safe, restful, and well-deserved Fall Break. Take time to recharge, spend time with those who matter most, and return refreshed for the learning ahead!
