RtI turn-in:  RtI turn-in will be from June 1st-3rd.  Please schedule a time for turn-in with Christina Stone.  

Paper supply is low:  Just a reminder to be conservative.  

Action teams:  Please submit the names of the staff members who will be serving on the AIG/RtI, data and C&I teams. 

  1. Review the updated and scrubbed action team list.  Consider where your talents and gifts would best be put to use.

Student supply lists...reminder:  Please start working on student supply lists.  The formatted supply lists from 2015-16 have been shared with you.  Please update and email the complete list back to me.  Please include copy paper.  Please do not alter the formatting so the lists are consistent.  I will change the open house information at the bottom.  


EVAAS verification:  This is the last week for teacher verification in EVAAS.  All rosters are due May 20th. 

Silence in car pool....reminder #2:  Please make sure to remain silent while moving through the area where our car riders are waiting for their cars.  It is hard to keep the students quiet if the adults are talking.  Thanks for your help with this matter.  

Absences...reminder:  Please remember it is a requirement to let Melissa, Wendy and I know if you will be out.   We must know who is out to ensure there is adequate coverage for classrooms as the students arrive. If at all possible, please prearrange your substitute.    

Instructional reminder:  In grades 3-5, we are using NC Ready or Coach JumpStart for review matching the rigor and length of the EOG.  The Performance Coach for ELA is also an option.  In math, we should be using NC Ready, stretch math and TenMarks (not FrontRow).  The released EOGs should be used for practice.  

We will be getting new calculators from the county.  Lisa Foushee will be visiting PLCs on May 11th for a mini training.  Please include calculator practice in your instructional plan.
