November 27

Merry Christmas !?  Let's try to get the building transitioned from turkeys and pumpkins to elves and snowmen this week.  

Thursday is PST day!  Please make sure you have current (within the last 10 days) STAR or EL scores for ALL (this includes students being monitored) students that will be discussed at PST.  Also, update CampFire.

Our first session of our PALS Academy (Parents Actively Learning with Students) will be this Thursday evening, November 30th.  The focus is Math!  Please, please encourage your students to bring their parents to this great event.  

We'll start at 6:00 pm.

I'm excited about the next month or so as we'll be checking our growth through STAR, EL and Performance assessments.  The first round will be Math Performance Assessments for everyone K-5, December 4-12.  STAR, EL and Reading performance will be January 3- 12.

During our Staff Meeting tomorrow we'll be electing members for our budget committee.

You'll have time during Tuesday collaboration to plan for the next several BUSY weeks.  I'd encourage you all to take a look at the CES Calendar!

Our First Graders will serve as Pledge Helpers this week.  Please let me know who will be coming!
