Staff PD:
We DO NOT meet as a staff this week.
E.A.G.L.E Pledge Challenge:
As we transition to the Emory Academy of Global Leadership and Empowerment, we are asking our students to write a pledge. Please share THIS DOCUMENT with your students. You may take class time to ask your students to work on this or you may present it to them to work at home. Please collect submitted pledges and give them to me no later than Sept 21. Our Student Council members will be working to develop a DRAFT. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Teacher 1 Hour Prep/Planning Schedule:
Please deliver and pick up your students to classroom 6 and pick them up there at the end of your planning time. Please be mindful of the noise your students make during the transition. Carrie Wahamaki is in room 6 and teaching STEM and/or Visual and Performing Arts. Please let me know if you have any feedback about the process.
- These are ENRICHMENT classes–no grades on report card
- VAPA and STEM teachers are NOT teaching classroom science. Science remains a core content area to be taught by classroom teachers. Instead, STEM teachers are teaching design, engineering, robotics, coding, etc.

TC Test Prep Unit/Smarter Balance Interim Assessments Grades 3-6:
I feel like we always get to March and think, I wish I began using the Smarter Balance Interim Assessments (or this past year) the TC Test Prep Unit much earlier in the year. Here is your reminder to think about how you might use these resources/ provide access to our students more strategically earlier this school year. Let me know if you have any questions/need support accessing these tools.
Dreambox:
You should have received a welcome email from Dreambox. Dreambox is live and ready for your students to login to. Ideally, students access Dreambox for 60 minutes or 5 lessons per week. There is a login link on the School Links page. The District is not immediately providing professional development. There are written and video links available after you login which may help get you started. (across the top my flexpd and resources). You may check in with me, your colleagues or complete a Teacher TOSA request for additional support. Our Math Labsite is scheduled for the week after fall break (Grades TK-5 only), we may learn more then. The District plans PD in the future to support reports/more sophisticated implementation questions.
