Wonderful staff!

Thank you for enduring the Week of the Supermoon and still smiling on Friday afternoon. You are true champions. It is an honor to work with you. Read below for info on the upcoming week. 

What Is Expected of Me This Week

Our Extended PLCs are this week for 5th, 3rd, and 1st. We will check in on WIN time and making sure each team has a SMART goal for reading WIN time progress. Please make sure you have your data and agendas ready to go.

• Update your Reading & Math Tracker before your PLC day. i--Ready assessments should be entered as well as F & P and PNA data. Team Leads check in with your teams. This task should have been completed two weeks ago for i-Ready and on Friday for F & P. Small groups should start on Monday.

• Remember to link your weekly plans or pacing guide to your teams agenda. Team agendas should be filled in for Math & Reading planning as well as PLC days. Team Leads make sure your plans are viewable to SPED, interventionists and admin.

• New PD Plan for 24-25: Feeling tired? Too many meetings? You've been heard. The Savannah Super Support Squad determined that attendance at the Braswell Zone PD sessions offered by Curriculum and Instruction count for A LOT of learning and time. In return for your attendance at these sessions, we are cancelling the Savannah based PD days indefinitely. 

• Gen Ed Teachers--No experience with IEP meetings? No problem! See our graphic below to help you know what to bring and say when you attend for a student.

• Are you hosting a club for Savannah this year? If yes, fill out this form. We will put this list in our Savannah Shoutout so that parents know what clubs are available for their kids.

• New color printing procedure: If you need something printed in color please email it to Eston. The turnaround time is very quick (usually minutes) however we are trying to make sure all color print jobs are intentional and purposeful. This will help us conserve our expensive color ink.

Still Important from Last Week...

• Guiding Coalition chose a new date, Sept. 26, for curriculum night. Please make sure your team is prepared to present on what you will be teaching this year. Parents should leave with a brief understanding of grade level learning objectives. 

• With Curriculum Night coming up, we need to display student work in our classrooms and hallways by Sept 20th. Please remember that every student should have work in the hallway. Student work should be their independent work and all work should not look exactly the same. TEKS and rubric should be posted but do not post student scores. Instead of student names on the work, put the student's class # and mark through name if it can't be erased. See strong examples below.

• Lesson plans should be uploaded by Thursday of each week for the following week.

• We are continuing Workshop Walk-Throughs this week.
