Friday MM - Day B

Good Morning, Welcome to February!

Many guests in the building for the WatchDOGS breakfast.  Some students will arrive late to class if they are with their dad, do not count them as tardy.

Our EOM PBIS Re-COG-nition is today in the gym

• K-2 students report at 12:55
• 3rd grade report at 1:30
• 4tth & 5th  report at 2:05

The kids LOVE having staff there to model mediocre dancing.  They do have some inhibitions and they are comforted by the fact that the adults can "let loose" and enjoy themselves even if the look incredibly silly.  You do not need to be good at something to enjoy it.

Thursday MM - Day B

Good Morning!

We are proud to be involved as a pilot for the STEM Recognition Program.  The first meeting of our Brunson team that will be responsible for the completion of the rubric and the writing of the application will be Tuesday January 29th from 3:30-4:30 in the LTM room.  A copy of the application/rubric and associated documents can be found by following this link.  The Team consists of ...... volunteers.  The goal is to have a  distributed representation of our faculty, between 5 to 10 members, who are committed to furthering our STEM focus.

Also on the Pilot front we are working with the Smarter Balanced Consortium to administer a 5th grade Math assessment.  The window for administration is April 15-26. 

The school board meeting of January 15th is now on-line and can be accessed on this linked page .  Fast forward to the 23 minute mark and watch about nine minutes of our School board presentation.  After watching myself, I would encourage each of you to videotape your teaching as I counted 6 "um's" and 2 "ah's" in the last couple of minutes of my presentation.  Always something to improve!

Due to our possible weather event, the back-pack program will distribute this afternoon.  We missed last weekend and will send a double load today.

Please keep our dear friend and Augustine tutor, Woody Clinard, in your thoughts and prayers as his lovely wife Helen has passed away.  Funeral services are set for Saturday.  You may click to view the obituary.
