Week 25 (Instructional 24)

Happy March Everyone!

Wow!  This has been a busy week!  Thank you so much for all you did to make the Black History Museum events such a success.  I was able to speak with many parents and they were so impressed with the student presentations, and the effort you put into having such a great event for them. 

Also, I know that many of you have started your Parent Teacher Conferences.  I know the time and effort it takes to have successful conferences with parents and I thank you for all of your dedication to making these flow so smoothly.

Next week will be another busy week...with the continuation of Parent Teacher Conferences, Honors Assemblies, and our Regional PD day.  

Finally, thank you so much for all of the kind wishes and thoughtful gestures you shared with me during this week's Leadership Appreciation.  I truly love working with each of you and am thankful for all that you do to help our team and ensure our students succeed.  You are loved!

I hope you have an enjoyable and restful weekend!

Week 24 Instruction 

 

This week is Week 24 of instruction. Please make sure all Common Assessments for Week 23 and Week 24 are completed and submitted by Friday, March 1.

03's and GLTs 

We are not holding these this week in order to free up time for your use for Parent Teacher Conferences.  If you want to meet, please drop down during our 03 time.

Update Classrooms and Bulletin Boards

On Friday, Mrs. Bullard sent out an email reminder for us to update classrooms and bulletin boards.  Please make sure your classroom and bulletin boards reflect the current season and student learning. 

ELA C&I Visits

Our C&I ELA Consultant, Shannon Mueller, will be at Laurus on Thursday, March 7th.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent Teacher Conference information has been sent out by Mrs. Wheeler.  You should have scheduled your conferences by now.  Please review the materials so that you have all of the necessary signatures.  Make sure that you have the sheet from Mrs. Wheeler available for the parents to sign at all of your conferences.

Also, this week will be a short week due to Regionals on Friday, March 8.  As such, you will not have as many days to complete these meetings.   Please be mindful of this as we still have to reach our 100% participation goal.
