I hope everyone had a nice Spring Break!!  According to the countdown in the office we have 32 days left!

Dibels starts on April 28th with 4th/5th grades; April 29-  6th grade; May 3rd- 2nd/3rd grades; May 4th-  1st grade; May 5th-  K; and May 6th-11th are designated for make-ups.

If you have students going through the RtI process, please sign up on my calendar this week to meet with me.  This is very important.  I must get our tracking log updated!  Please meet with your grade level this week as a grade level PST.  I have put the yellow folder in somebody's box in each grade level.

Over Spring Break, I started to think about sponsoring a drill team to perform at half-time for our sports program.  (Sort of like a head start on a band program)  I am an old majorette and think I could get one started if people think its a good idea. 

I have a RC meeting tomorrow and will miss working with the groups I see in the library.

This summer, I will be trained in the Shelton Multisensory Structured Language Program.  I should be given materials to utilize the program throughout next school year.  Hopefully, this will be a good resource to help reach students that continue to fall behind. 

I am still missing some PM data for our March report.  Please try to get it to me by tomorrow afternoon.

Dibels testing will begin on April 28th.  The testing date for each grade level is posted outside my door. 

SAT and ARMT went well.  We reached the 95% participation goal.  The Alabama Science Assessment will be given tomorrow, April 5th, to our 5th and 7th graders. 

On Wednesday, April 6th, our 6th-8th graders will take the PRIDE survey. 

Second though Fifth grade teachers need to check their boxes.  I did a grade level summary using your item analysis forms for lesson 24. 

Our first post assessments for students who participated in our Spring Tutoring show good growth.  Please let me know if you like how we utilized our tutoring funds.  If our faculty think this was valuable, maybe we could plan to do it again next year (if there is $$).   

Just as a friendly reminder, we have a faculty meeting scheduled for Thursday, April 7th. 

Have a great week!  Next week is Spring Break!!!
