Monday Morning Memo
11/2-11/6
Phase II-
- As you have heard from our school, the district is finalizing plans for the Phase II reopening of school. Although there is no timeline as of yet, the district is planning with many different groups to ensure the safety of everyone. Here is the link to the Phase II Parent Letter from Crown Point.
Observations-
- I will continue going into classrooms this coming week to give you feedback on your instruction.
- I will be coming in with the lens of Learning Intentions and Success Criteria.
Conferences
- November will be dedicated as “parent-teacher conference month”
- There will be no Principal meetings the month of November to honor planning and preparation for conferences
- 120 minutes instead of 180 minutes of synchronous teaching for the original conference week
- Conferences should be completed no later than November 30th
Report Cards (All Grades)
- The reporting period ends on November 6th. You can use any data up to that point but not after.
- Report cards are due prior to the individual student’s conference and no later than December 4th.
- Whether a family participates in conferences or not, we will remind them how to access and print their child’s report card.
- Please be looking for a translation sign-up from Cathy and Marylin to support you in your conferences. When you sign up, please put the Zoom link and password in the document.
- Typically, we would print out report cards. During online learning, you will need to have your electronic version of the report card prepared for your families.
- When teachers all resume on-site learning, Tra-Viecia will get the hardcopies to out and we will need to schedule a time to get them into the cum files.
DRA (All Grades)
- As there are roughly three weeks before the first day of conferences, as a reminder, we will need all students to be DRA tested and there levels uploaded to Illuminate in order to be on the report card document.
- If you are in need of any materials to support your administration of the DRA, please do not hesitate to let me know.
- Here is the link to the DRA Assessment
FAST (Grades 2nd-5th)
- As we get closer to report cards, please have your students take the aReading and aMath assessments before the administration deadline.
- If you do not get them in before the deadline you will not be able to have your students take it late. This means their scores will not be reflected in the Trimester 1 data.
