Enrollment Survey
Please place all enrollment survey forms that state "WILL NOT BE RETURNING" in Parker's box. All other forms may be discarded. Thanks!!!

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Please remember that SST meetings do not substitute for conferences. Those meetings are specifically targeted to discuss Tier 3 interventions and the student’s response to the intervention.
Every teacher in K-5 has agreed upon a "grade level conference checklist" which should be utilized for consistency. Evidence that parent/teacher conferences have been conducted will be requested for the summative evaluation in TKES.
Also, remember that in grades 3-5, the student should be present for at least part of the conference.

Beautification PLC
We have noticed there is a lot of trash around our school and we are asking for your help to keep our school clean! We have created a schedule and assigned weeks for each class to help clean our campus. We are just asking for classes to pick up trash outside school and even inside the building. This could be done during recess or a fun outside break that really gives back to our school. It would be a great opportunity to connect this to helping our school community, cleaning our environment, and stopping land pollution. Please ask Derick or Harry for trash bags.
Please follow the schedule below and contact Mary Cameron Faison or anyone on the Beautification PLC if you have any questions. Thanks so much for all your help to keep our school clean!

PBIS Info
PBIS Walkthrough Coming Up!!
This month someone will be coming to do a PBIS check in. They will be talking to 5 teachers and 5 students. Some questions they might ask you are:
What are the school expectations?
Have you explicitly taught all the school rules and expectations this year?
When was the last time you gave out a buddy buck?
Have you seen the school’s discipline data?
Make sure you have the PBIS Matrix posted in your room!! You got a copy in your box Friday. Any questions, please see Beth Owens or Richard DiBartolo.

Students Making a Difference
Check out this great article about an 8-year old boy who raised over $4,000 selling key chains because he wanted to pay off his school's lunch debts. Students are making a positive impact in this world everyday. Are ours? Are we reminding them the impact they can make? Are we encouraging their curiosity? Are we encouraging their willingness to take action? Check it out!

IB
As a reminder, below is a snip-it from our Non-Negotiables of Instructional Practices about IB expectations. As you prepare for upcoming conferences and guests in our building, and the next round of TKES walk-throughs, please take a moment to examine these and update your classroom boards to match the hallway poster outside your doorway. Also use a critical eye to examine your grade-level IB board outside in your hallway. It should reflect your previous unit learning: evidence of student work, central idea, lines of inquiry, learner profile and key concepts used to drive the inquiry, other pertinent items to share. If you need help, please ask Lib Roberts!
