Weekly Update for CHE, 1/17

Good morning everyone! I hope the three day weekend went well. A few important updates and announcements for the next few weeks. 1. Progress Reports : Staff is working on progress reports for students that are behind grade level standards in math and/or ELA. Students who are progressing near, at, or above standards in both areas will not receive a progress report. Please communicate any concerns or questions with the classroom teacher so that we can work as a team to support students. 2. MAP/MPG : Students in Grades 1-5 are taking District benchmark assessments in math and/or ELA. These assessments focus on identifying individual student progress and provide students/staff with areas of focus for growth in the near future. The whole model is focused on growth by student. Additionally, students will be taking District writing assessments in February. Our school and District believe that writing is probably the clearest indicator of student progress and we look forward to seeing the

#OneWord2017

Welcome to a brand new calendar year and part two of the 2016-17 school year. I am so excited to hit the ground running and I look forward to serving you every single day! Instead of a new years resolution, I am choosing one word that I hope will guide my thinking and actions in 2017. My #OneWord2017 is INTENTIONAL . I hope that most of my actions here at the school are intentional. In other words, from the cleanliness to top notch instruction, everything is not by chance or tradition but is instead done with purpose and with students at the forefront of planning. Today has been a busy start to the week. We had several new students starting at our school, including an entire TK class. Ms. Victoria Gaba has joined us with 18 new Transitional Kindergarten Students. Some important news: 1. Moses Montano has been named the 5th grade District Student of the Month. The FSUSD School Board recognizes one student from each school over the course of the school year. Moses will be formal
