The Middle Update 2/19/2016


Staff Meeting Review

I really enjoyed watching our teachers in action on Wednesday afternoon, reviewing each other's assessments, and sharing effective assessment practices with each other.  We are blessed with very talented people who work hard on our staff.

Puma Pride Data
Like we discussed at the staff meeting, this spring will be our planning the implementation of a systemic approach to using our Puma Pride data to provide targeted, systematic interventions to help our kids improve in these areas.  The 8th grade team is working on developing the logistics for our system focusing on the "Completes and returns work in a timely fashion" standard.  As we begin, it is clear we will need this time to work out the kinks before we roll out our system-wide plan next fall.  All ideas are welcome, feel free to share thoughts for any of the standards.

Student of the Month Breakfast
Next Thursday morning will be our next Student of the Month Breakfast.  Thanks in advance to Jill, Julie, Tess, and Kevin for being our staff representing and help sharing our story to members of our community.

Hoops for Heart
Mark your calendars...Thursday, March 24th will be the annual Hoops 4 Heart Event.  More details to come.

Middle School Track Meets
We will be hosting 2 Middle School track meets this spring.  It would be great to get our middle school staff out, working at the meet.  What a great way to support our students and it's also a natural opportunity to connect with both students and parents.  Meet workers also receive extra duty pay.  The dates of the 2 home meets are:
Tuesday, April 26 - 4:00 pm
Monday, May 16 - 4:00 pm

Send an email to Debbie Simon dsimo@poynette.k12.wi.us to let her know you are interested in helping out with this meet.  Thank you!
