January 22, 2017

Daisy Staff,

Hope you're enjoying the milder weather that has been with us this weekend : )

As we look forward to next week, here are a few notes:

• Please be sure to click on the calendar link below to keep up with specific dates and events.  I continue to update this on a daily basis:

DAISY STAFF CALENDAR 2017

• "Tech Tuesday" is scheduled for this Tuesday, after dismissal, in the Music Room.  Please join us if you're available. Bring something to share or just come to network and/or pose questions.
• We'll use Wednesday's School-Based PLC to work on updating and evaluating Data as we're completing another round of Running Records and STAR Testing.  Grade-level teams may utilize this time to enter data into grade-level Google docs; as well as to collect and analyze assessment data; SLO's; etc.  Special education and special area teachers may want to utilize this time to evaluate data for SLOs, progress reports, goals/objectives, IEP data, etc., etc. and/or work with grade-level teams to analyze data. Please let me know any specific needs you and/or your team might have.  I would suggest that staff members work in a place of your choice so that you'll have access to data, resources and team members.
• Our 100th Day of School (barring any snow days between now and then) is Friday, February 3.  We're planning a Good News Assembly in honor of the 100th Day at 2:15 pm in the Gym on Feb. 3.
• Just a reminder to all:  Please be cognizant of meeting/picking up students on time (lunch/recess/specials/etc.) as our schedule is tight and we don't want to inconvenience our colleagues. Please let the office know if your classroom clocks are out of sync and we'll perform a time check/readjustment.
• As always, please let me know if you have anything that you'd like me to add to our Staff Calendar and please check it frequently : )

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Ruth

Visitors from Literacy Volunteers joined us 

at our "EL Coffee & Conversation" last week, 

where they modeled what a tutoring session looks like.
So glad that our superintendent, as well as administrators from WHS and WMS joined us!

Please spread the word about the Early Childhood Forum,

scheduled to take place at Daisy on February 1st.

Please join us for some superior Professional Development!
