Thank you for your work and attention to student Transition Plans. These plans serve three purposes: (1) They provide an opportunity for your reflection based on student growth and performance in your classroom this year; (2) Give receiving teachers crucial data and information on how to best support students; and (3) Provide parents with information as to the current progress and growth needs of their student.
Faculty Meeting Tuesday
- We will have faculty meeting Tuesday. We will discuss ECE Corrective Action Plan compliance, logistics for the rest of the week, and vote on a contract deviation for grading.
Grades and Report Cards
- The purpose of the proposed contract deviation is to allow grades to be put in early so that students can receive their final report card on the last day of school.
- Based on Transition Plans, provide parents literacy and numeracy items to work with students over the summer (in parent friendly terms). Be sure to choose big overarching items, for example -- learning multiplication facts, reading books at appropriate lexile levels, telling time or counting money, reading stories and retelling what the story is about, etc. This information will go in the report card comments.
- If the contract deviation is approved, completed report cards are due to my by end of the day Thursday, June 6th.
Field Trips and Activities
- Please remember that all information and procedures for field trips are still in place. You must have a 10 to 1 ratio and unless we have had a personal discussion -- I assume you all have appropriately communicated with families and everyone involved (cafe) so you have everything you need.

Staff Last Day of School
- All should have check out sheets in your mailbox (I have classified to give out today). On June 10th, we will begin with a whole staff meeting in library (approximately 1.5 hours) and then I will be available for checkout.
- Be sure to clean and de-clutter your classroom, Sheldon will not sign off if this is not done. My day ends at 4:30 on Monday and you will be required to return on June 11th if you have not checked out with me by that time.
