Raptor & Lockdown

We will hold a district practice lockdown drill using Raptor on Monday, January 27 in the afternoon. It is extremely important that you review lockdown procedures with your students this week. We will follow the same accountability procedures through Raptor as we do for a fire drill.

Reminder: If you are out and have a substitute in your class, Subs will need to text a picture of your roster to me & Mary to account for the class during a crisis situation/ lockdown. Please let Mary or I know if you have any questions or concerns.

Accountability form when a sub is in your room

Our goal is to get 100% of students and staff accounted for during these drills. All staff are able to search for students and staff to see who has not been accounted for by sorting the list.

Exciting New ZEARN Incentive Starting Monday, January 6!

In addition to the existing ZEARN rewards, we're adding new incentives to encourage students to complete their lessons! Here's how it works:

When: Starting Monday, January 6
Who: To be considered for the incentive, each class in each grade will need a minimum of 80% of their students to complete 3 or more on-grade level lessons each week. The class that has the most on-level lessons completed, with at least 80% of its students completing the lessons, will earn an extra snack from the snack cart each week.
If there is a week in pacing where only 2 lessons are taught, you will need to assign another on-level lesson during that week.
The Math teacher of the winning class will also be treated to a snack and drink from the teacher cart as a special thank you for their hard work and dedication.

We hope this new incentive will inspire even more learning and fun in the classroom! Let's get ready to make the most of ZEARN!!

Please note: We will continue recognizing HRs and updating the Zearn board each week. 😊 This process will remain the same!

NEW AR Reading Incentive– Let’s Get Excited! 📚🎉

We’re kicking off the second half of the year with a fun and motivating AR reading challenge! Each week, we’ll be tracking the progress of every homeroom in AR reading, and the class with the highest AR points earned in a week in each grade level will earn some awesome rewards! 🎯

The winning students will get an extra snack from the snack cart 🍪, and the reading teachers will get to pick a treat and drink from the teacher cart! 🥤🎉

Let’s hit the ground running and make reading a top priority—together, we can make this a fun and exciting challenge that encourages everyone to read more, earn points, and have a blast doing it! 🚀 Let’s go, team! 📖🌟

Please note: We will continue recognizing students and updating the AR point board each week as they advance through the levels. 😊 This process will remain the same!

Black History Month Daily Announcements and Slideshow Presentations

In celebration of Black History Month this February, we have an exciting plan to highlight the contributions of African Americans each day:

Morning Announcements: Each day, a selected student will read a short passage about a famous African American.
Slideshow Presentation: In addition, we will provide a slideshow about a different famous African American musician each day. Please share this slideshow with your class at a time that works best for you.

The combination of the daily readings and the slideshows will give students a well-rounded understanding of Black history, focusing on influential figures and musicians.

Thank you for your support in making this a meaningful and engaging experience for our students!
