End of Year Checklist...reminder: Your can access the End of Year Checklist here.  You will not need to take items off the wall in preparation  for painting this year.  Long, Bradian, Stone, Lloyd, Rockwell, Waters, Schlott and Cole will have a unique summer pack-up plan to accommodate the YMCA.  We have been communicating separately.

Title 1 visit:  We will be visited by DPI on May 25th from 11:00-12:30 for a Title 1 audit.  A team will be here to tour the school, visit classrooms and talk to staff members about the use of title 1 funds.  We will be testing and reviewing that day.  That is OK to proceed with business as usual. 

Quarterly Testing:  Quarterly tests for grades 1-2 will occur on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please carefully review the testing plan located here

Science EOG in 5th grade:  Please be aware that our first EOG occurs this Thursday in 5th grade.  Please synergize to ensure our environment is quiet and academic for our 5th grade scholars.

Students stories come to life:  Our K-2 students will watch their original stories come to life when students from Lee County High School come to perform. The high school theatre students used stories written by elementary school students to create a theatrical montage.  Students should gather in the Depot at 1:00pm.  This is sure to be a special event for all involved.  

Graduation walk:  I am thrilled to announce that graduating seniors will be visiting our campus at 10:15am on May 25th for a graduation walk-through.  Our students will get to see what it looks like to "begin with the end on mind."  We know the timing will be tight (it was the only time frame that would work for the busy seniors).  This will be a special event to share with our Lee county graduates.

AR:  Please plan on completing the final AR STAR test after the reading and math EOGs are complete.  The testing window is May 31st - June 9th.  

RtI turn-in:  RtI turn-in will be from June 1st-3rd.  Please see details in the email sent by Mrs. Stone on May 18th titled "RtI Folders- Important Information." The sign-in form is located here.

EOG Video:  We will be filming an EOG video on Monday and Tuesday afternoon.  This will take the place of our schedule committee meetings unless you are still needining to meet.  Mr. Hurdt has done a phenomenal job planning for this fun "Sharpening the Saw" event.

Attendance summary:  You will no longer need to write the attendance on the summary sheet in the cumulative folders.  The attendance summary and report card will be sufficient. 

Work for students in BIP:  Please make sure students who are sent to BIP reflection or have been assigned ISS have adequate work.  This is a perfect time for review materials. 

EOG pep rally:  For grades 3-5, May 31st at 1:00pm.

Paper supply...reminder:  The supply is low.  Please be conservative.  

Action teams:  The steps in red below should be complete.  Please start thinking about where the remaining grade level members would like to serve.  

  1. Review the updated and scrubbed action team list.  Consider where your talents and gifts would best be put to use.  
  2. Vote for SIT for EC, TA (x2), 1st and 3rd.  Please be reminded that SIT team members are also grade level facilitators. 
  3. Choose grade level rep for AIG/RtI.  Enter name here.
  4. Choose grade level rep for data team. Enter name here.
  5. Choose grade level rep. for curriculum and instruction. Enter name here.
  6. Folks who are not on a committee will choose their big rock  

Student supply lists...reminder:  I am missing supply lists for K and 3rd.  The formatted supply lists from 2015-16 are located here.  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.  

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.   Please include calculator practice in your instructional plan.  

Remember to speak the language of success!
