Sunday, April 30

 

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! The goal of this week is to give your parents the opportunity to show you how much they love you and appreciate you. I know that most of you do not like a lot of attention, but take it in and soak it up. You work tirelessly to support your students and their parents recognize how much you do. This week, focus on all of the wonderful things that happen. Don't let the small, negative things get to you. That is a tall task, I know. But make this a wonderful week!💝 

See below for all of the special things the PTC has planned. They are also going to cover your before and after school duties!

Coffee!! I hope you will be able to take advantage of this special coffee offer! Make a date with someone and take advantage! RCSD has teamed up with two locally-owned coffee houses to celebrate! Fourscore Coffee House at 325 Lincoln Street and Bloom Coffee at 1485 Eureka Road will offer buy one, get one free espresso drinks for all RCSD staff. All week long, Monday through Friday, Fourscore and Bloom will be thanking RCSD staff with this exclusive BOGO deal - all you have to do is show your staff ID!

CAASPP Testing: Testing begins this week! Teachers grades 3-5, see your email from Nichol with updates and important information.

TOSA Tidbits

I came across this site that has compiled some great resources together with digital slide decks of various number talks. Just had to share...

Math Talks for Slides

EL Update

Its time for our Spring RFEP Monitoring forms to be completed by May 11. Not everyone has students who need to be monitored. An email was sent to specific teachers on April 27 to let you know that Ellevation will be sending you a notice to complete this. This is different from the EL monitoring you completed. These monitoring forms are for students who have reclassified. 

PBIS Reminder

If you haven't yet, please talk with your students about our PBIS walkthrough and refresh their memory on what our "PACK expectations". Continue to pass out the PACK Passes, give specific feedback on why they are receiving it, and consider those students who may not be receiving PACK pass recognition. 

Did you know... Rori Wright saw a picture of her husband when she was 15 and said to her best friend, “Who’s this guy? I’m going to marry him.” Together for 35 years, married for 27.

Did you know one of our staff member's mom was a nun before she met her dad? Who is it?
