CPJMA Monday Morning Memo
8/27/17
I am excited for the first day of school and feel we are ready as much as possible. As we move forward, please do not hesitate to let me know of any processes or procedures that I am not aware of.
Ultimately, I appreciate your leadership as we begin the first day and look forward to a wonderful year.
Site Visit- Jim Solo and Kimie Lotchefeld will at some point be stopping by to check in. Please be aware that they may come in to visit classrooms as well.
Heat- The weather forecasts call for mid-80s-low 90s tomorrow and for much of the week. Below is the link to our district's hot weather procedures. Please review the procedures and allow for frequent breaks and opportunities for students to get drinks to keep hydrated.
Pre-school- As some of you may have heard, there was a possibility that the licensing for our pre-school would not be ready for the start of school. After working with the district, we are now good to go and pre-school will be starting on Monday.
Kinder Orientation- Monday, 8/28/17 with teachers 7:40-8:40 in respective teacher's classrooms. Principal Kinder Orientation from 8:40-9:40 in the auditorium. We will have PTO parents to help with our beginning Kinder friends if they have challenges watching their parents leave.
Music/Play PE- From my understanding, a schedule for violin with Mr. Luchs and music with Mrs. Hradsky is usually ready for the first week. We recently just connected with Play PE and we will create a schedule. We are working together in hopes to create a schedule to be ready for the second week of school. We appreciate your patience and be assured we are working as fast as we can.
Duty- All hands on deck during the recesses for the first week of school. I will be working with Ms. Macker to finalize by the end of this week.
School Governance Team- We met on Friday and discussed the importance of creating clear behavioral expectations for students. As school-wide expectations are being created, please continue to teach your classroom rules and expectations and any common rules for the school you have done in the past.
Parent classroom requests- As a reminder, any parent request to change classrooms will be reviewed after two weeks. It is important that we are all clear and we share the same message to parents.
Assessments- As I work with ILT to come to a consensus on common initial assessments, please continue to use the assessments you have done in the past to learn about your students. Please consider the following areas for initial assessments:
- Narrative writing on-demand sample
- Reading comprehension
- Comprehensive math inventory
