Review and Revise

Team,

Thank you for participating with Parent Teacher Conference Day, this is always an opportunity to engage with parents and set goals for student success.  Be sure to turn in your conference summary sheet and log your conferences in Infinite Campus as well.

Today, remember students have been off for five days and they will need us all to revisit expectations for learning and behavior both within the classroom and common areas.  Take the time this morning to do this and reconnect with students during your circle time.  This is also a great time to revise expectations, in collaboration with students, to better suit the needs of the classroom community.  We are in this together and we have to be a united front in setting and maintaining high expectations for all.

This week we welcome Kristen Allen (Jammeh on email) to King Elementary.  She is our new gifted and talented resource teacher/magnet coordinator, replacing Jenny Stith (room 312).  Also Allana Thompkins will join us as part-time library clerk.  Please seek them out and introduce yourself and give them a positive welcome to King.

Remember to utilize the Classroom Instructional Framework in your lessons with students and have your lesson plans available on your desk for review during walkthroughs.  Update your learning targets and success criteria for students and refer to them often during instruction.  Last, please send home family MAP reports for students who did not have a family member attend conferences in person.

Coming Up:

  • Team leader meeting today after school from 4-5PM in the library
  • Fourth grade ECHO camping trip Thursday and Friday
  • Mrs. French-Coles will meet with teams during planning Friday to discuss Gifted & Talented identification
  • Showcase of Schools - Saturday, October 12th--thanks to all volunteers that have signed up
  • Be sure your grades are updated in Infinite Campus, we are nearing the end of the cycle (10/16)
