Week 6

 Sept 25, 2022 

I hope each of you had a wonderful and restful weekend. I appreciate all of you for your commitment to our students and to teaching at high levels. As we start week 6 it is important that we are continuing to hold high expectations for all of our students. It is extremely important that we are at our doors during transition, we are using our discipline protocols when it is necessary, and we are making phone calls home to parents to both celebrate and ask for help with discipline issues. Consistency is key to turning positive behavior into positive habits. 

Middle School Madness and Spirit Week 

PLT Team Meetings 

As you meet this week as PLT and Grade level teams I need you to consider the following; 

1. How are you going to have those grade level 1 on 1 meetings with students about where they are on the Galileo assessment and what goal will they have for the MOY? And what date will these be done by? This is something that is in our SAP. 

2. How are you and your team tracking student achievement per priority standard? What tools are you using to keep up with this? 

3. Based on the data protocol we used during Monday's staff meeting, what are some areas of celebration and what are some areas with the greatest opportunity to grow? 

Team meeting with Rachel will be Thursday Sept 29th 

1. 7th Grade- Mrs. J. McClure room

2. 6th Grade- Mr. K. Ash room 

3. 8th Grade- Mr. Gegg Room 

4. Related Arts- Mrs. Cooks room (During 5 star) 

Growth Plans

Growth plans are due by Sept. 30th. Please refer to emails sent concerning them. If you have any questions please let us know. Click here for the slide deck to help complete this expectation. 

Strategic Plan

We had a consultant from EGL Assoc. in our building on Thursday Sept 22 to visit teachers and gather information from SPS staff about what our district is doing well and what areas of growth are needed. Please participate in the feedback using this survey. Feedback will be taken up to Monday night. 

Activate SPS:

All certified staff members will participate in 3 hours of professional learning on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. No registration will be required, as all will be assigned to a session with job-alike colleagues from either 8:00-11:00am or 12:00-3:00pm. A “Save the Date” will go to teachers the week of September 26 with full details communicated in late October.
