STAR Testing
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, middle school students took the STAR test in their respective Math and ELA classrooms. The early results show positive student growth, and analyzing the results has been really fun. Seeing the scores of students increase from the fall is very satisfying for us, especially the ones that we have worked so hard with in the Intervention setting. This data will be useful for us as we analyze our lessons, curriculum, and students...as well as tracking SLO progress.
Report Cards
Report cards will go out in the mail today. I sent an Infinite Campus message to all parents yesterday. In looking at the report cards, our goal of giving more information about how our students are doing in class is being met. Thank you for using this opportunity to give feedback about each student's progress.
Mid-Year Review for EE
It's time to start getting ready to sit down with me for a mid-year meeting focused on SLO. Even though Non-Summary year teachers are not required by the state to meet with an administrator, I would like to sit down and meet with each of you to review the progress of the SLO, and determine if we need to tweak the goal. I'll be checking these meetings off on my whiteboard as they happen. If you are ready to meet, please let me know, otherwise, I'll be setting up these meetings.
Staff Meeting Next Week
This is a reminder that we will have a PMS Staff Meeting this coming Wednesday (2/4), at 2:50 in Room 201. We will talk budget process/timeline, analyze data, and collaborate about best practices going on in our building.
Budget Reminder
We will discuss this more in detail at the staff meeting on Wednesday, but please be thinking about the materials that you need in your classroom for next year that will boost student achievement.
Educational Politics
It is a very interesting time in educational politics, especially at the state level. There seems to be a divide in the Senate, Assembly, and the Governor's office about a school accountability bill, and with recent news about major cuts to the University of Wisconsin system, many eyes are on the upcoming release of the state budget, and the K-12 funding.

Printer Ink
A reminder to utilize our copy room, and avoid printing more than one copy on the printers. Our printer ink supply is dwindling more quickly than year's past.
