PMS News & Notes 3/6/15

What a week!  With a couple nights of conferences, and a jam packed school schedule, it's time for everyone to enjoy a much deserved weekend.  Despite the longer hours this week, the focus on student achievement and effort remained constant. See below for some more information...

Monday Sub-Caller
If you are not feeling well on Monday morning or late Sunday evening, I will be the sub-caller for the Middle School.  Please call 608 692 2088 if necessary, and the earlier, the better.

Parent-Teacher Conference Wrap-Up
The second round of PT Conferences are in the rear-view mirror.  During both nights, I observed many parents seated at a cafeteria with their child rummaging through materials from a locker trying to get organized.  Thank you for your willingness to connect with parents, and work with them as partners in their child's education.

Staff Meeting Wrap-Up
Most of our staff meeting focused on building upon the culture of literacy in our school.  The very next day, during a mini-observation, I observed a teacher utilizing reading comprehension strategies with a text reading from their content area, and it went very well.  As a reminder, to accelerate our movement, we should show an interest in what our students are reading, read with them during silent reading days during IE time, and be enthusiastic about becoming better in all areas of literacy.  I appreciate your attention and efforts towards making each day a little better than the previous one in this area.

Budget
This is a reminder to schedule a time to get together with me to talk budget sometime this next week if you have not already.

Student of the Month Breakfast
This Thursday, 3/12/15, will be our next Student of the Month Breakfast.  Thank you to all who acted quickly to get our nomination in.  Also, thank you to Ms. Fraser, Mr. Jorgensen, and Mr. Lendobeja for presenting this month.  Our next SOM Breakfast will be on Friday, April 10.  Please be thinking about possible candidates for next month...it'll be here before you know it.
