Important Updates:

Lesson Plans:

After reviewing lesson plans this week,

·       25 out of 26 teachers that we visited had lesson plans.

·       21 of the 26 teachers had all of the suggested components included in their lesson plans. 

Feedback- Please continue to plan for effective and engaging instruction that meets the needs of ALL students.  

Disciplinary referral:

If you call for an SSO, please submit a referral as soon as possible.  It is difficult to address the concern if our student support staff does not have accurate information. No child should be sent out to the Eagles nest. Please review the tiered support flow chart to ensure the process is followed with fidelity and the process has an opportunity to work effectively. This process is getting better, if you are a special education teacher, please ensure your paraprofessional and teacher assistant are familiar with the process as well. If you feel a student is in need of additional support and you think he/she would benefit from counseling services, please do a referral for counseling and submit to one of the social workers.

Elopement and Wandering Plan:

Please see Mrs. Luke to sign a document that you have received and reviewed the plan.  The plan was sent to you via email.

Attendance:

Overall we are doing great getting attendance submitted in a timely fashion. Please continue to with your routines of taking attendance within the first 15 minutes of your students’ arrival to class. In addition, notify Ms. Brown if you have any students with attendance concerns.

Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI):

It was decided at SBPT that we will use LLI. The goal is to use LLI to lift and advance literacy achievement for all of our students. Training will begin on Monday 9/24/18.  Intervention teachers, reading teachers and classroom teachers will work together to complete DRA's in each classroom.

Please submit:

If you haven't submitted your classroom management plans, split class lists, emergency sub plans and your buddy teacher, please submit those items to administration.
