Parent-Teacher Conferences
PT Conferences are sneaking up on us in a hurry. We will host two nights of PT Conferences on Monday, March 2 (4:00-7:30) and Thursday, March 5 (4:30-8:00). For these round of conferences, teachers should contact and schedule conferences with parents of students of concern. Please collaborate with other teachers so that we can have more than one teacher(s) in on a conference for a specific student if necessary. As a guideline, we should be inviting parents of any student that has received either a NE or BE on any standard, or that we have behavior concerns about. I sent a message to parents through Campus Messenger on Thursday night reminding them about conferences, and letting parents know that they can contact us if they would like to come in for a conference if we did not contact them. Please share the grade level conference schedule with Robin and myself.
Mid-Quarter Grades
This is a reminder that we are approaching the mid-quarter at alarming speed. Please have your mid-quarter grades posted by end of day Friday, February 27. In my message to parents through Campus Messenger about PT Conferences I also gave parents this date.
SLO/PPG Mid-Year Meetings
Thank you to those of you that have scheduled and met with me already about your SLO/PPG. For this process, please complete the Mid-Year Review responses in Teachscape, and then send me a quick email letting me know that you have completed that step. I will then schedule a quick meeting to check-in on progress. The meetings that I have had already have been awesome.
Budget
Another reminder to be working on budget for next year. You can click HERE for a template for a requisition. As a reminder, please have materials turned in to me by March 13.
Grade Level Blogs
The positive feedback continues to come in about the grade level blogs. I really appreciate the time that our teachers have taken to keep our parents in the loop about what their children are working on in each class. If you have not contributed, but would like to, please contact the following people to grant you "author privileges". 6th - Alex O., 7th - Tess B., 8th - Jerry P.
Student of the Month Breakfast
This is a reminder that the next SOM Breakfast will be on Thursday, March 12. Please get your nominations to me by the middle of next week. Thank you 6th Grade team for your prompt nominations.
WKCE Results
We received the results of the WKCE tests that 8th graders took in early November. The students were tested in Science and Social Studies. 81.6% of our students were proficient or advanced in both Science and Social Studies.
Educational Politics
With all of the hubbub about the Governor's latest budget, State Superintendent, Tony Evers sent this LETTER. Dr. Evers gives a solid perspective about the realities of the state budget and how it will impact public education. I am confident that in Poynette our goals will drive our budgetary decisions.

Empathy is important because when kids feel understood they are more likely to take risks. #whatIsSchool
