Good Morning!
SPECIALS are delayed until we finish the Benchmark assessment this morning. Plan for missing the first four sections [1st-2nd-Kinder-3rd HAG] If we finish the assessment early, we will make an announcement and get going as soon as all the specialists are done working with the accommodations groups.
Speaking of specials, the schedule for the next nine weeks is complete and being reviewed today. I will have it ready to post at our faculty meeting Wednesday. With 29 classrooms, common planning is a challenge. Our 4th and 5th residential teams did not have it in the first nine weeks. This coming nine weeks, 3rd grade residential and HAG will bear that burden. The following nine weeks it will shift to a new group, so take advantage of your common planning time to collaborate with your peers.
THURSDAY - Wear Orange, and for 2 cogs, make it HAT DAY. Andy will be clear on the announcements that we do not "dress up" for Halloween and the hat of choice cannot cover the face or be disruptive. Please remind the students that Orange is for UNITY. Watch this Video to see the power of unity.
Below are some questions about 3-5 report cards. Begin to have a conversation with your colleagues and we will meet at the end of our Faculty meeting to come to a consensus. My goal is to provide effective and standardized communication with families on the progress of their children.
Subs:
Melissa Edwards has taken ill and will not be available as tech support today. We will reschedule for November. Rosemary Hazy for Donna McNatt
Catherine Blankenmeyer for Jennifer
Johnell Hunter for Dorothy
No sub for Natalie Newman - She plans to return Wednesday as she recovers from a medical procedure Keep her in your thoughts.

- What
comments are required? Personalized messages or selected comments
from central office list on PowerTeacher?
- Is the
entire report card to be done on PowerTeacher as individualized comments
as well as attendance (the two components last year of page two) can be
handled through PowerSchool?
- Will
Damita be able to print them?--which is mostly the current teacher
assumption
- When are
report cards to be finalized by teachers?
