Student Progress Communication Update
Thanks to all for a solid collaborative meeting on Wednesday afternoon. I'll be sharing the feedback and guidelines that we will use starting with the 2nd Quarter for updating Infinite Campus. I will follow this up with a communication to parents and students early in the 2nd quarter. Final 1st Quarter grades should be posted by end of the day on Monday, November 9th.
End of Quarter 1 is Thursday
With the end of the quarter coming, students that are in danger of not passing should be on our radar. Students should know their status and we should be working to get these students in during lunch or after school to get the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate at the very least a passing level. If you need help getting students during lunch, please contact me.
Assembly Thursday afternoon
We will be having an End of the 1st Quarter Celebration Assembly on Thursday afternoon. Students should be dismissed to the gym at 2:05, and we'll get started at 2:10. The MS Leadership Team will have a role in the assembly and another Carelli Cup event will take place.
Professional Rounds Reminder
A reminder for teachers to fill out the "Professional Rounds" form after you have gotten into another teacher's classroom for a short visit. At the time of this writing, we had 10 entries...If you didn't get a chance on Thursday, pop in some time today.
Honor Roll??
Another piece that came out from the Puma Pride Committee this past June was establishing a recognition system for our students. We will be experimenting with a system to recognize the high achievement of our students. At this time, we will look at recognizing students that have a Proficient or above in each standard, along with scoring ME's in all 5 Puma Pride characteristics for recognition. I am interested in a more unique title than "Honor Roll"...but I haven't thought of anything...if you have ideas, please let me know. If this seems to be a solid system, we will communicate with students and parents about the official recognition starting with 2nd quarter grades.
Student of the Month Breakfast
The next Student of the Month Breakfast will be Thursday, November 19th. Please get names to the office by middle of next week. Thank you 7th grade team for submitting your honorees.
