The Focus 3 website provides a lot of simple, practical discussion about how to be successful in everything that you encounter. I recommend checking out the site, and subscribing to the podcast. The short blog post highlighted this week is fascinating...the author discusses situations we encounter each day, and explains how our outlook makes all the difference in the world...Enjoy!
"The Law of Patience and Perseverance" - Tim Kight
Student Community Service
Members of our Student Leadership Team organized a Senior Citizen party at the Pioneer Place that took place this past Wednesday. Many students performed, and the talents and efforts from our students were very well received by the residents of Pioneer Place. A great way for our students to volunteer their time to make someone else's day better.
Math Meet Participants
Our 7th/8th grade Math Meet students made us all proud at the state Mega Math Meet this week. They place 10th out of 21 teams. Poynette Middle School was represented very well by these awesome students!
SLO/PPG/End of Year Evaluations
We continue to have awesome discussions about SLO and PPG results from the year. If you do not have a time set up with me to review your SLO, please do so as soon as you can.
-Final Data organized
-SLO/PPG reflections complete
-SLO self-score complete (make a copy for yourself and share with me)
All SLO reflections and End of Year Meetings must be wrapped up prior to check-out on the last day. I am also able to meet with teachers on Friday, June 7th if that works better for anyone. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Staff Meeting on Wednesday (5/29)
We will be taking a dive into some data from the past school year, recapping many of our successes this year, and celebrating our team.
4th Quarter Grades
This is a reminder to make sure grades in each standard are up to date. This includes the at least the Puma Pride standard "Follows Classroom Expectations". Also, continue to hold students accountable for getting their work done.
Homeroom Battles next Thursday!!
We will have a Modified Schedule on Thursday (5/30). Please review the suggested schedule. Teams can feel free to modify in a manner that makes sense.
Felicia Ritzke and Brooke Steinhorst are organizing our Wellness Day activities on this day as well. They will have more specific information to share on Monday/Tuesday, however, our afternoon will follow a plan along the following lines:
12:40 - 1:30 - Homeroom Activities...used to determine Carelli Cup Champion
1:30 - 2:47 - Various activities happening across campus - Students will sign up on Wednesday during - Staff will be assigned to a location to participate with/monitor students
Heading into the Home Stretch
As we enter the final two weeks of the school year, it's time to be thinking of how you will end the school year strong with your students. Having students participate in lessons/activities that bring a culmination to their year/semester/quarter of hard work in your class. Our students should be either putting the finishing touches on or presenting their work even on the last day of school in their classes. With a long 3 month break for the kids, and the summer slide that occurs each summer, their time in our classrooms is vital for their growth.
Last Day Schedule
We will run a modified schedule for the last day of school. You can view that SCHEDULE HERE.
End of Year All Staff Celebration
Once the students are dismissed and out the door on the last day (6/6), we will gather as a whole staff around 1:00 in the High School cafeteria. We'll have pizza, and other food options for everyone, and have a brief recognition ceremony. Check-out procedures will start right after we wrap up our celebration.
