Instructional Focus 

As we know the Guiding Coalition chose 6 marzano instructional practices that we will particularly focus on this year. Of those 6, three will be our intentional focus for the first semester

  1. Tracking Student Progress

  2. Processing Content

  3. Increasing Response Rate


Click on the links above for extra resources on how to incorporate into your lessons or even give validation to some things you are already using. This week as the admin team enters your classroom we will specifically be looking for evidence of processing content. Example are 

1. Thnk, pair, share 

2. collaborative processing with a shoulder partner Asking students to summarize, ask clarifying questions, and make predictions about new information in small groups


• Discussing students’ summaries, questions, and predictions

Mid-Term Progress Reports

Due to issues ensuring everyone was able to load grades we held off on running progress reports until Monday. So they will be ran and dispersed Monday during Seminar. 


Parent Teacher Conference Suggested Schedule 


Parent Teacher Conference window is Oct.23 - Nov. 3rd. Below will the Parent Teacher Conference Suggested Schedule for Middle School. Tuesday will be the mandatory late night until 8:30 pm for the entire K-8 building. These will be the days that you will have Administrative support in the building. You and your team have the option to schedule conferences outside of these time as long as we adhere to the following

  • Tuesday Oct. 24 is the mandatory late night for the entire building
  • Teachers do not have to stay the entire late night if the 7.25 hours is attained on other conference day off contract. 
  • Teachers/teacher teams may determine when the additional hours/conferences will occur outside of contract time.
  • Teachers & Core Teacher teams will submit their conference schedule in advance of the first scheduled parent/teacher conference to the principal.
