Sunday Scoop 8.20.17


2017-18 Logo
Some amazing things we noticed this week:
  • Relationships, relationships, relationships!
  • Having FUN with your students
  • Great digital communication with images and updates for parents-we all LOVE seeing your classroom.
  • ET Phone Home Challenge Accepted by many
  • Tons of collaboration-even on Friday afternoon at 4:30!

Eclipse Information for Monday:

  • ALL RECESS will be inside from 11-3 *per central office
  • Start time of total eclipse 1:17 and 13 seconds
  • End time of total eclipse 1:19 and 2 seconds
  • Glasses are only off during the total eclipse (horn will sound to take them off and put them on)
  • Please practice with your students
  • Students may opt out and go to the library and watch it streamed via NASA
  • Students cannot see with glasses on so they will need to put them on outside. They should walk outside looking down.
  • Parent volunteers will arrive at 12:45 unless you have told them earlier.

Emergency Bag
Check your classroom to see if you have the following supplies to take with you during our Emergency Drills: red bag, flashlight, batteries for flashlight, green/red booklet.  If you need any of these items, please add your name to this list.  Debbie is working on printing out a list of your emergency numbers to also add to the bag.  We will have our first fire drill this week.

Curriculum Nights:
Please talk with your teams about the content of your curriculum nights.  Be sure to mention myon and how parents can access this resource at home.  I will be copying directions on how to access the pikmykid app and be sharing a 9 minute video for you to preview that night with your parents.

Aleks (3rd-5th grade teachers)
The District was waiting on a few more subscriptions last week to get Aleks up and running.  You will receive an email from Sandy Woodfin soon with your information to begin Aleks this week.

myON:
This year, myON will be accessed through Clever, not through myon.com. Please use the email you received from Sandy Woodfin to log into Clever.  It includes your username and password.  Please note:  Teachers and students will never go through myon.com.  K-3 teachers, please let us know if you did not receive your QR codes for easy access for  your students to log in.  MyON is a resource for you to use as you'd like.  Ideally, we'd like students to know about it and be able to read on devices when appropriate.  Please play around all you want this year and explore.
  • Parent Letter-Grades K-3:  You can make a copy and change it if you'd like
  • Parent Letter-Grades 4 & 5:  You can make a copy and change it if you'd like
  • Samantha Gatzemeyer at Dressel created a slides presentation with tons of great tips for using myOn.  Feel free to take a look here.  Slide 2 has everything you need to know about logging in.
  • When students log in to myOn for the first time, they will take an interest inventory. Please see slide 3 of the above presentation for more information.

Mandatory PD:
Don’t forget to complete the mandatory PD sent by Megan in an email.

News from Dr. Sparks:

As many of us process the horrific events in Charlottesville, here are some resources that you may find helpful:
Bus Riders on the 1st day:   Gina, Valerie, Liz, Katie, Joanne, Chris, Chandra, Leslie, and Sarah.   It is always so helpful to have you on the bus so we can find children.  

Special thanks to Dave, John, and Cheryl making our building so BEAUTIFUL!

ET Phone Home Challenge: I’m sure there are many others who have taken the challenge so please let me know because I have a special little treat for you.  Thanks so far to TK, Lindsay, and Krissy!  You can never have enough relationship building.

Boy Scout presentations will begin at 9:00 on August 30.
