Happy Valentine's Day weekend! Enjoy the extra day of appreciating and loving those that are close to you. Remember to soak up some love too!

Good News/ Bad News: My bad news (not really that bad) turns into good news for us! I will be here on Wednesday so we can have a staff meeting. We will be talking about our office referrals and talking about Raptor. Raptor is the emergency management system that we will be using for site drills and communication. Don't stress. We will simply be downloading the app at our meeting. Fun and practice to follow! This staff meeting will be on Zoom. 

Upcoming assemblies: We will have our first assembly this Friday.

Assemblies are on a Friday from 11:15-11:45am. 

The dates are: 2/18, 3/11, 4/8 and 5/6

PTC RequestThe PTC would like to know what you think we need and where we should focus our money.

Right now, we have the digital marquees and PLTW as priorities.

Please add any ideas your ideas to this document: PTC Spending Ideas

PTC would also love a teacher liaison to communicate with. Please let me know if you are interested.

It is time for a break! Please sign up for a 30 min break. I will come in and cover your class for 30 min. You can use the time to prep or simply relax. This is not mandatory, but you all deserve a break! Sign up here: Teacher Time

EL Update

Summative ELPAC testing dates are here! Please mark your calendar if you have EL students in your class. Just as a reminder, you can check ELlevation for your active EL students. Students who have an RFEP on file DO NOT get tested. 

Our dates are:

ELPAC Practice Tests

• ELPAC Practice & Training Tests 

• Practice test-taking strategies with students

• Become familiar with the types of questions on the ELPAC

• Help increase familiarity with the testing platform

This is something that can still be shared with families to practice at home. I am also going to reach out to teachers to set up a time to work with their EL students on the practice tests.

last Week's Walk Up Song was..... Sarah Lee!!
