Report Cards

We will send an email to families that Report Cards are ready for viewing on Tuesday, January 30th. Here is the needed info for reports… 

• Report cards will not be printed and will not be sent home. Families can view/print them from the Parent Portal.  I will link the parent companions in the email. 
• No i-Ready testing printouts will go home. We will send home separately.
• A reminder there is NOT a CWCS (Course Work Completion System) score in Campus any longer. You will see a WISE course but nothing needs to be done with that.  

Positive Impact!

Look at this success, all three grade levels are in the upper right quadrant on the  iReady chart below.  High Performance and High Growth!!!  A perfect example of another "Mastery Experience" for EQ!  

Each success, no matter how small, contributes to our sense of mastery and reinforces the idea that together, we can overcome challenges and reach new heights. These mastery experiences not only build our confidence but also strengthen the belief that our combined efforts make a real difference. As we continue to face new opportunities and challenges, let's keep the successes like these in mind!  Collective efficacy can be a driving force behind our continuous improvement!

Let's Continue to Crush It Together!

Hope you're all feeling the good vibes from last week's PD day! Remember all the great things we can keep purposely include within the four sources of collective efficacy and those sneaky enemies trying to mess with our groove? Here's your new week reminder that we're a powerhouse when we've got each other's backs. Let's kick off this week by bringing that collective energy into play. Crush those enemies of collective efficacy, high-five a colleague, and let's make this week one for the books. You've got this, and we've got each other. Let's do it!

Student Teachers

We said goodbye to Madi Carter last week as she completed her student teaching with Katie Durrant.  Thank you Madi for all you shared with our students and school during your time here!  Good luck as you venture out into your career in education!

Jan. 15th PD Day

Click here to view the schedule for the PD day on Monday including the EQ specifics.  Your feedback from our first ObserveMe cycle was wonderful to hear at our December PD and matches so well with the next steps in our learning.  On Monday during part of our school continuous improvement time we will dig into what we can continue to do to form and influence our collective efficacy as a school (the sources) and the things that can hinder our collective efficacy (enemies).  We will also touch base briefly on the report cards that you are diligently working on this month and a reminder of how to complete the BIESY.  You will have the afternoon for completing the BIESY, group collaboration, and prep time.

Winter Weather - Winter Weather Expectations

Please click the slideshow title below and review with students for our winter weather expectations when the snow starts flying again.  At our December EA meeting we also discussed the following items to create a common understanding to help us all.

• Balls can be used on the blacktop when the field is closed as long as it is not being kicked toward the school or toward the road.
• Snow, mud, or ice must wear boots 
• Snow = boots and snow pants 
• When there is snow on the ground, no boots and snow pants = black top 
• Coats - we are now at the point where just a sweatshirt isn’t ok at recess anymore. They will be sent in to get their coats if they don’t wear them out. If they didn’t bring a coat, they will have the natural consequences of being cold or can get one from Mr. Tom’s Closet.  If you are noticing repetitive forgetting of a coat, please call home to ask for their support. 
• No Rugby!!!!!

Attendance Data

We published some attendance data in November from the start of our year.  The charts below have December added with that month complete.  Let's celebrate that we had less students missing a day of school or more in December than in the prior two months.  Thank you for all the connections and relationships you continue to foster with students and parents. Let's keep that line going in the right direction!  

23-24 SCHOOL YEAR	# of Days of School in the Month	# of Students	% of Student Body that Month
September	18 days	307	84.81%
October	20 days	282	77.90%
November	19 days	262	72.58%
December	15 days	296	82.22%

Winter iReady Window

Let me or any of the coaches know if you'd like our assistance at all as we continue with the Winter iReady window.  The first two blog posts in January contained links and information too so refer to those if needed.  You can see previous blog posts by clicking the blog archive menu on the right side of the screen while viewing the blog.

EQ STEP Charts

I have now added the link to the updated STEP charts for EQ in the useful links area to the right when viewing the blog with you. The step charts shared prior were PDFs and don't update with changes so this link will always have the most active/recent view.  As we've discussed they are evergreen and we will continue to update them as we progress.  Please let your grade level reps on the SLT, Academic Team or BASE team know if you have questions or ideas.  These groups help to update the plans.
