Dear Colleagues,
Congratulations on completing all the listening conferences for the start of the school year. Naturally, some will still come with those students who will start school later. However, important connections with families were made, and we learned a lot about our students. Please share your notes with all the relevant teachers.
This week, we will have our first Tuesday morning briefing in the ELAC Multipurpose Room, starting at 7:50 and finishing at 8:25. We will provide information about upcoming dates and events, the assembly, PD updates, learning outcomes data, and newsletters.
This week, we are preparing for next week’s Back-to-school Night (BTSN). The night is an excellent opportunity to share the daily routines, expectations, and highlights of the curriculum and programs and for parents to learn a little more about the teachers their children interact with daily. We will review the content expectations in our Wednesday session to ensure consistency and structure throughout the school. Later, we will send all parents a summary of the important information. However, we advocate for and emphasize the importance of the in-person experience in the evening.
Grades 3-5 will engage in MAP testing from Monday to Thursday, giving us another data point as we plan and design student learning.
Finally, we are looking for Student Council leaders (2) and R&D members (4) for this school year. If you want to join the team, please email Heikki by the end of next week - Friday, Sept 13th.
Let’s have a wonderful week!
Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
