Staff Meeting next Wednesday 2/22
We will be having a middle school staff meeting on Wednesday, 2/22 at 2:50 in Mrs. Anderson's room. At this meeting, we will be taking a closer look at skills that employees seek in today's world, and begin the conversations for how we can adjust what we do to prepare our students, including possible inclusion of some new technology that we have in our IMC. We may also have a guest appearance from our local EMS as part of our ongoing safety efforts.
Carelli Cup Event next Friday at 2:30
Next Friday at 2:30, we will have the next Carelli Cup event. It will be a scooter race competition between representatives from each grade. We are looking for a staff team of 3 males and 3 females to volunteer to demonstrate the race for the kids. We will also use this time to continue our work on ingraining a culture of high expectations and achievement for our students.
Upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences
Spring conferences are right around the corner. After consultation with the Puma Pride Committee, our plan for the Spring Conferences will remain consistent from last spring. We will use the first night (3/2) for scheduled conferences. We should be scheduling conferences with as many students as we can, but mainly focusing on those who are in need of a strengthened home/school partnership (AE/NI on any Puma Pride score). Also, the letter that we will mail home will encourage parents to schedule a conference. On the second night (3/9), we will run more of an Open House type format. Certainly we can schedule a conference on that night as well if necessary for parents. It should be another great opportunity to deepen those vital relationships with parents that will help our students move forward.
Forward Exam Information
As February approaches, we have begun to start preparations for the administration of another successful Forward Exam. At this time, we have tentatively settled on the dates and times. This schedule is still in a draft form. At this time, please review the dates for your planning, and more information about groups and preparation will be communicated as we get closer.
