The focus this month: Public victories

The 7x7 contract continues to provide great reminders of how to use the habits in our daily lives to stay focused on what matters and be more effective in accomplishing our goals.  I hope you will take some time for this personal journey.  

Our first Leadership Day will take place on March 23rd. Parent day is March 22nd.    Please be sure to sign-up for an area you can assist with Leadership Day on the document Ms. Water's shared.  

More resources are located at the Leader in Me website.
You can also follow Sarah Ann's blog at sarahanntaylor.org or email her at sarahann.taylor@franklincovey.com.

Data Meetings:  We will have data meetings this week.  If you have not set a time please do so at http://www.meetme.so/StefanieClarke. Thank you 2nd and 3rd grade for setting a meeting so promptly.  I have shared data from the county and mClass with all necessary parties.  A summary of our school wide data is located here

Brief meeting tomorrow:  I would like to meet with certified staff briefly from 2:45-3:00 tomorrow directly before committee meetings.  We will meet in the platform.  

Committee meeting:  Monday, February 22nd at 3:00pm in the Platform.  Please share minutes with all using the Bullock Committee template in the handbook.  

SIT meeting: SIT will be meeting tomorrow, February 22nd, in the front conference room to talk about master schedule changes for next year and briefly review title 1 in the SIT plan to remain compliant.  

Sharpen the Saw:  The Environment committee has planned a fun evening on Thursday, February 25th.  Dinner at 5:30 at Brick City Grill followed by bowling at 6:15pm.  
Interview Team:  I need three more people for the team.  I would like someone from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th.  Being on the interview team is a fun experience and of great value to our school.  

AR Spring Testing window (3-5 only):  The AR spring test window we agreed upon starts tomorrow.  Please do not feel like you need to suspend instruction for this MOY reading assessment.  The STAR assessment should be done in a secure setting, but please use your professional judgement on the best and least obtrusive way to complete this MOY assessment.
