Celebrations
I hope everyone had an amazing Holiday break. Being with family and friends has a way of centering us to the important things in life. I look forward to seeing all of you on Jan. 3rd Below are some things to think about as we prepare for our return.
InstructionalPLT Team Meetings:
We are moving from Question 1 to Question 2 of the PLC Questions.
What do we want our kids to learn? (Essential Standards, Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum)
How do we know they learned it? ( Data, Common Formative Assessments, Formatives, Summative)
What do we do when they don’t? (Interventions-Tier 2 and Tier 3)
What do we do when they do? (Extensions and Enrichments)
Objectives should be posted somewhere permanently in the room and those objectives should be referred to often to maximize student learning.

Learning Walks
We completed Middle School learning walks right before we ended for break. We had some great conversations around the great things our peers are doing and how we could incorporate a version of those great things into your classrooms. Please take a moment to fill out this 3 question feedback form on how we can make this process better for future
Elementary Learning Walk will be in JanuaryStudy Skills Class (Middle School)
Teachers as you begin to think about next semester classes and what that looks like. I want to give you information about a potential change. Our intervention team has been working really hard to come up with a recommendation of what intervention will look like in our building. They are in the final stages and hope to have things ready to present to the Guiding Coalition by the 1st week in January. If approved this will go into effect January 23, 2023. So plan for your Study Skills class throughout this time.

We have the following positions that will be open here at Pershing for next school year. If you are interested Please let me know.

1st Posting is where SPS makes jobs available to current district employees before they are made public for others. The window is Jan. 4th-Jan 14th
Galileo Results
We should have Galileo results school wide soon. We will go through this data as we did after the BOY. Hopefully we see a lot of improvement between the BOY and MOY. Let's CELEBRATE the growth and encourage our students to continue to make academic progress.
IEP Meetings
We as educators are required by law to attend IEP meetings. If an invite is sent to you please respond to that invite. This is a great opportunity to share progress as well as areas of concern with the IEP team.
Explore - Dana Hubbard
HERE you can find the listings for this year’s Explore sites and where each school’s student population will go for Explore. Note that this year, the July session will be consolidated to a small amount of schools due to lower expected enrollment. You can find more Explore information at https://www.sps.org/explore.
