And the "APAWS" goes to...

"APAWS" goes to Tara and Lisa for the fabulous Student Council campaign week and student assembly!
 It was awesome to see our students running their campaigns, giving speeches and taking part in the election!   Great job, ladies!

(If you'd like to give some "APAWS" for next week's blog, please send me an email!)

1. ELA/ELD Grades and Trimester 1 Writing Prompt:  We have been told that this week's Soundbytes will have information regarding grades for the first trimester report card.  I will share any information I may get asap as I know this is an area of concern and questions.  I believe that the T1 writing prompt will also be OPTIONAL this first trimester.  Stay tuned and read the Soundbytes when they arrive this week.  Thank you!

2. AR:  - There was a mix up with our AR order and they purchased only a partial license.  This should be corrected early this week.  I will let you know so that you may have your students take the STAR test, if they haven't already.  We will not have school-wide goals for T1 for AR, as mentioned by Lisa and Sarah last week.  Thanks for your patience and flexibility!

3. Goals and Objectives: - I have shared a blank template our for you to write your Goals and Objectives this year.  As mentioned at our staff meeting, school-wide an identified area for growth is Speaking and Listening.  You are welcome to write a goal in that area if you wish, but this is only a suggestion.  Your goals are for you to write in areas that you wish to target this year.  Goals are due to me no later than Oct. 15th.  

4.  Ticket to Read: - For those of you that asked for TTR, we will have this available once again.  I'm told it will take about 2 weeks for the order to process.  I'll let you know when it's available and get you the parent letter.  TY!

5. Kelly: - I know many of you have already emailed with Kelly, but in case you hadn't heard...she was injured during recess duty last week and will be on leave for a short time.  Her sub, Julie Berlanga, has committed to sub through her anticipated leave.  Thanks in advance for showing Julie around and thank you, too, for sending Kelly your support!
