The Middle Update 2/25/16

We are almost to March!  After getting the chance to meet with other teachers and administrators this week from other schools, I feel so appreciative of all of the Poynette staff.  I feel we have a student-centered culture, focused on continually improving our practices...this has caused our teachers to be innovators in the field.  I feel blessed to be a part of this school.  Thank you all for the great attitude and effort that you bring to our students each and every day.

PT Conferences
The grade level teams have been working hard to schedule conferences for March 10.  We will be having an Open House type format on March 17.  Please see the NOTE that will be going out to parents today through a Infinite Campus messenger blast with more details about our conference format for this spring.

Culture of Reading Group
I would like to get together regularly with any teachers or staff that may be interested in planning for our continued work on growing our culture of reading.  If our discussion at the last staff meeting sparked your interest, please send me an email letting me know of your willingness to be a part of this opportunity.  We will set a time to get together once I have an idea of the who our group will be.

Puma Pride Interventions
We continue to work and discuss how we can systemically provide behavioral interventions for our students who need them.  In the past 3 weeks, the 8th grade team has been working on our system for addressing students who need help in the "completes and returns work in a timely manner".  If you have any ideas or thoughts on this standard, or the other Puma Pride areas, let me know.  We will also be discussing and planning around this topic at our next Puma Pride Committee Meeting, which will be on Tuesday, 3/15.  Any and all interested staff members are welcome to attend and contribute.
