Happy Sunday!
In case you haven't noticed, I have been reusing things in both the family blog and the staff blog. It is all about efficiency right now, isn't it?
Staffing for Champions: I will get our updated numbers from Jerry next week. That will tell me how many teachers will need to teach Champions. For example, if there are 22 students that chose Champions in first grade, I will need one teacher to teach those students in Champions. This is how the staffing is determined:
Priority 1) Does anyone have a medical note that states they need to teach Champions?
Priority 2) Does anyone want to volunteer to teach Champions? (If more than one, based on seniority.)
Priority 3) If there is not a teacher after the first two steps, I will be placing the teacher in the grade level with the lowest seniority- district-wide.
After staffing comes the determination of AM/PM Groups:
On Friday, I shared the spreadsheet with what parents chose in the survey. If they said they preferred AM, their child is in the AM section. As we all saw, the AM/PM requests were very unbalanced. In the next couple weeks, we will be placing kids in AM or PM to make balanced groups. I will be working with each of you to do this. There is no guarantee parents will get what they requested and we have been very open about that from the beginning.
The balancing process will look like this:
1) We have to spread out the students from the dissolved class among the other classes.
2) The combo class kids will be grouped and set. Then, siblings of the combo kids get placed in the same group.
3) Next, we have to look at RSP and Speech kiddos. We will have to place these kids at a time that works for scheduling Learning Center time. Then, siblings of these kids get placed in the same group.
4) We will look at parent requests for a specific need and see if we can accommodate. Then, their siblings.
5) I will look at the lists you provided and place kids.
6) We will work together to look at the lists and see if they work. If not, we make changes!
See, easy peasy!! Hahaha! Oh, and then we have to work with Eich.
PLC Meeting this Monday:
Because it is the first PLC meeting after progress reports, you should all have data to discuss. Please use this form in your PLC's to guide your discussions (It was shared at PLC Leadership). I will popping into each grade level PLC, so please share the Zoom Link with me.
Stoneridge PLC Data Analysis Form
Moving Onward and Upward:
As I shared with the PLC Leadership, we are going to work together to make Stoneridge the best it can be. It will be a process, but it is so important we all do it together. Please watch this video that shares my vision for our future and how we will get there.
