  • Red means some this different in my class. (Volunteers/missing kids/etc.)
  • Green mean all normal and accounted for

*iReady: The district window for the 3rd window is March 28th - May 6th

CAASPP Training: Click Zoom Link for April 4th @ 3:15

TOSA Corner: For my next tip, I thought that you might like using a math fluency website to review the standards that some students may not have mastered yet. It will take a bit of time to look through the website to figure out what you need, but when you run out of lessons from the math book, some of these fluency centers could serve as a great way to review without having to teach a lesson. Your students can problem solve together while you work with small groups. If you need help creating anything, please let me know. Erin and I can most likely find some time to help with the prep work.




**Staff Appreciation Dinner: Surprise! This year, PTC will be hosting a Staff Appreciation Dinner on May 5th from 5pm. Dinner will be held at Kitchen 747 for OR staff only. There will be an Evite coming out in the coming weeks to RSVP! 

Next Staff Meeting: April 6th @ 7:30am ZOOM Link

**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
