Workshop

 

It is our expectation that you are implementing your workshop lesson plans and meeting with differentiated groups every day during ELA and math workshop. Workshop groups should be based on data and flexible. Please reach out to a member of the admin team if you need support with workshop.

Don’t forget:

   1.  If students are on their computers in classes, teachers should have Go Guardian pulled up so they can monitor students’ computers.

   2. If students are on Lexia or Dreambox, they should be wearing headphones to ensure that teacher-led groups are not distracted. 

P/T Conferences

In preparation of P-T Conferences, please make sure to print report cards and send them home this Friday, November 19. With our switch from scale score to point-based grading, a lot of parents have been concerned about their child’s grades. Sending home report cards prior to conferences allows families an opportunity to process their emotions before meeting with you. This will help the conversation be informed and targeted.

On Monday, all salary staff are expected to stay until 8:00 pm. On Tuesday, staff may do their virtual conferences from home, so you may leave the building whenever your schedule allows, however, all conferences must be done by 4 pm.
