New Year Greetings
It was great to see everyone back at school looking refreshed on Monday. If you were like me, there was no traffic on the road and getting to school took less time. Congratulations on completing your first full week back to school in 2012.
This is the time of year when we want you to revisit talking to your students about school and classroom rules and expectations. Students should walk down on the right side of the halls and stairs. Talk to your students about being respectful to staff, parents and their peers. Students need to report right away about any problem. We want to have a safe environment for students to thrive personally, socially and in academics. Thank you for your dedication and work with our students. Let’s have a happy and productive New Year everyone!

Bridges Question Board: A question board will be set up in the workroom by the desk top computers starting next week. There will be post-it notes available for staff to write math related questions on. Michelle and Melissa will check this on a regular basis and will try to answer the questions. If they are not able to answer questions, they will either take it to the next cadre meeting or try and research an answer. The Bridges Math question board will be organized for primary and intermediate.
Bridges Training at Carson: Bridges training is scheduled to take place at Carson on our PR day Wednesday, February 1, 2012. We would like you to have a discussion in your grade-level team meeting about questions that Janis Hiegl could respond to. We are expecting to have each PACK representative to email Andrea and Arturo those questions by Wednesday, January 11th. They will be forwarded to Janis. This will give her ample time to prepare for our workshop time together. Additional topics will also be addressed.
-Big Content ideas in K-6 and how to develop them
-Terminology/ Vocabulary
-How does curriculum tie into and support MSP preparedness
-Expectation on sticking with the pacing schedule (What do you do when you get behind?)
