Quality Writing Professional Development
Thank you to our Writing Precept Team for the work you are doing to guide us in developing quality writers. Thank you to Jamye Waites and Destin Walters for facilitating the incredible PD on Thursday. It was a great step forward for our school. Please look for another blog post to highlight our writing vision and next steps.

On Tuesday, November 19th, 1st-5th Grade North STEM and North Music classes will meet in the North Ampitheatre, and 1st-5th Grade South STEM and South Music classes will meet in Mrs. Brandon's room.
TAC Questions Due by Tuesday
TAC Questions are due by Tuesday afternoon. There are boxes set up in the teacher workrooms. Please remember, the door is always open to discuss any issues, problem solve, or ask questions.
Wednesday Collaboration
If you are a Sonday System teacher, you will attend training in the Literacy Coaches room with Mrs. Bruno and our literacy coaches. If you are not a Sonday System teacher, you will meet in the collaboration room on upcoming lessons.
Thursday Afternoon
We will attend district PD at Magnolia Elementary beginning at 2:15.
Courtyard
Our courtyard is open, and we have beautiful new picnic tables and benches for teachers and students to enjoy. We have someone scheduled to paint games on the concrete the first of the year. We will keep it open until that time. Each teacher will have two days per week to take her students to the courtyard during the last 10 minutes of lunch (to enjoy time with peers). This is not extra time, but is part of the designated lunch time. Please stick to the schedule so it does not become overcrowded. Remember, there should be no balls or recess equipment in the courtyard. (Reminder: if freezing weather, remain in lunchroom.)
Grade Level Courtyard Days
- Kindergarten, 2nd, & 4th - Monday and Wednesday
- 1st, 3rd, & 5th - Tuesday and Thursday
The courtyard can also be reserved for outside lessons between the hours of 8:00-10:30 & 1:00-3:00. You can reserve the courtyard during these hours the same way you conference rooms, gathering space, etc. (on the blog).
Performance Series Express Testing
Afternoon Dismissal
Please remember if you have hallway duty, we need you helping with dismissal in the afternoons. This includes supervising students in your hallway who are exiting the building. We have groups merging in the boulevards and we want to ensure a safe and orderly dismissal. We have had some issues with students running, so we really need your help. Please remember, we also need you to help with the buses.
