Happy Rainy Sunday! The rain makes life interesting, but we need every drop of water we can get. I know that sometimes it is difficult, but try to find the positives amid the storm. Literally and figuratively.
PD Schedule: Please meet in the staff room at 8am. We will start with some fun activities with Christi, so wear your comfy clothes! Then, back to the staff room for some tasks as a PLC. You will be looking at the California Dashboard information about Stoneridge and answering some questions. We will end with a quick discussion about the essential standard pacing guides and then you will be on your way. I know your mind will be on preparing for Open House, so I will be mindful of your time. Absence Reporting: I let parents know, or rather, I reminded them that they need to let the office know when their child is absent. I know that some parents let you know, which is great, but if you could reply to them and say, 'Be sure to let the office know too.' I think that will help the process. Thank you!
Teacher Who Make A Difference: Please share your nominations for Teacher Who Make A Difference. Which of your colleagues would you like to recognize for the amazing work they do?

EL Update: ELPAC Practice Tests and Info LinksOur Summative ELPAC testing dates are: April 17-19. It's a great time to start preparing your EL students for the test and below you will find a few links to help. The time spent practicing is considered designated EL minutes since these practice questions are standards based. We'll play around with these links a little bit on Monday.
1.This is the site we have shared in the past. It will mirror the format of the test but it is a bit clunky. I still wanted to make it available to you.
2. This is a nice quick reference link to a sample question for each domain. This would be a good resource to share with the parents of your EL students.
- This new resource is helpful:
3. This is new to us this year. It includes a slide presentation and daily lessons broken down by month.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
EL Resources: An EL Resources tab has been added to the blog! There is a lot of helpful information.
Did you know... Maria Larsen has had three businesses!! Wow!
Did you know one of our staff members hiked up an active volcano with her family, where they stayed overnight in a lodge overlooking the eruption at night. The next day, they swam in its hot springs. Who was it?
