Weekly Update: 8.30.15-9.5.15

We are so impressed with all of the activities you have been conducting with your students to build classroom community and support student learning.  The effort you put in now to create that climate of trust and respect will pay off throughout the year. 


PD Reminders: Be sure to complete your mandatory PD here.  You can check the box that states we will watch the "Smarter Adults, Safer Children" video together at a later date. 

Attendance: Please be sure to get your attendance in by 9:00 a.m.  It is much appreciated by the office.  

LEAP: Begins Monday. Please do not mark them absent as their attendance will be done once they get to Sperreng.  If a LEAP student comes to your class on a LEAP day, they should be redirected back out front to take the bus over to Sperreng.  Please let us know if you have any questions how this works.

Voicemail: Please set your voicemail system set up with a personalized message. 

Reading: We are excited to introduce our reading goal to the kids this week. Our school wide goal is 1,000,000 minutes by the end of the school year. Teachers, please start tracking reading progress. We will collect your data at the end of each month to update our progress chart. The first data collection will happen in September.

1/2 Day p.m. Substitute: Our new LTA, Stacey Vondera, is available for afternoon subbing so please keep that in mind.  We would like to utilize her first so if you are in need, please let Terri or Cathy A. know so we can request her. 

Reading Levels: Just a reminder that the reading levels are in the drive.  These are the ones you should be utilizing:
Curriculum Night Reminders:
  • Please remind parents about the Parent Portal during Curriculum Nights.  We want parents to log on to the Portal and complete the Online Registration paperwork.  This updates the parents phone numbers, email address, emergency contacts, Media Exclusion, etc. etc. etc.  We also have to capture new information regarding Military Status for DESE -- this will be reported in October --- there is a form on the parent portal for parents to complete.   If parents have any questions, please have them contact sissupport@lindberghschools.ws 
  • Buzz Book Opt out Forms: You will find these green forms in your mailbox for curriculum nights. Parents will return the sheet if they don't want to be a part of the buzz book.
Learning Labs Thursday: We will meet in the PD room on Thursday, September 3rd.  Please bring a laptop and a smile.   We are going to begin our work looking at standards, starting with Mathematics.  



A huge thank you to Sheri, Brandi, and the PEGS friends for cleaning up the butterfly garden.   It looks awesome!
