I haven't been in many classrooms this past week, but I have certainly enjoyed many conversations with teachers and students about the incredible progress our students have made in Reading and Math. Whether it was a student excited about their growth and beating their goal or a teacher reflecting on what helped the students to achieve the goal, one thing is clear: we are committed to helping all of our students achieve! We certainly have a lot to celebrate as we close out another great school year! Please think of what you are most excited to celebrate about your students' achievement and bring that with you to Monday's staff meeting. :)
Events Next Week:
Monday - Staff Meeting 3:05 (Agenda includes reflection and celebration!)
Tuesday - Grades due by 7:30am
-Registration packets should be sent home with students
Wednesday - I will be out of the building with the 5th grade UW Madison college tour
Thursday - Report Cards to go home (so they don't get lost on the last day fun!)
Friday - The finish line!!!!

11:00-12:00 End of Year Picnic

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
- Please add your Honor Roll/On A Roll names to the google doc so Sarah can get the certificates ready for the Pride Assembly.
- Our budget for next year is still not finalized, but you may go ahead and start filling our purchase requisitions to turn in before you leave for summer. Please understand that as we watch/monitor the budget there may be some reductions and we will use the priority rankings you used on your budget requests to decide. Thank you for your understanding with this as the district is waiting for the governor's budget.
- Please make sure any unfinished items in your mylearningplan are complete:
- Click "Acknowledge" on any forms that are waiting for you to review.
- If you do not submit your Alt. Comp form with the evidence of your pre-approved activities by June 15, the form will disappear for you to be able to do so.
- Self-Score your SLO and hit submit. If you're not on your summative year, we do not have to meet to discuss this unless you want.
- All the other end of year reminders that were given to you before for the Effectiveness Project are HERE
- Student porftolio cards for next year's class lists will be put in your mailboxes next week (hopefully by Monday). You can hold on to these as long as you'd like (but they'll need to come out next May again) or you can give them back to me to keep safe until then.
- Changes for next year: Don't freak out! If I haven't talked with you, then you're not changing anything! But, if you'd like to know, here's who's moving around:
- Mrs. Bader will teach 1st grade next year in her current room. :)
- Mrs. Lisiecki will teach 2nd grade next year in Ms. Peters's current room :)
- Ms. Peters will move to Mrs. Huelsman's current room.
- Mrs. Huelsman/Mrs. Patey will move to Mrs. Fobes's room.
- Mrs. Fobes will be sharing space in Ms. Peters's new classroom.
Survival Messages:
I'm all about enjoying the final days of this school year race and still keeping focus, but let's be real...it can be just a tad stressful (ok, way more than a tad), but sometimes a positive message, deep breaths and just looking at the blue sky for a minute can help. Here's some messages to help...
