Hi All, 

I'm so late, I'm actually ahead of next week's post! Seriously though, my apologies. I've been trying to be more proactive with you all this year in terms of information etc and sharing the blog is a way to do that. This short week has been a bit of a doozy. 

I will be out tomorrow all day. Jess and Tyler are on deck and I am available if the sky is falling! You will have team meetings, Ashlyn sent you a plan and I have some documents that are in draft form for you all to look over as well. 

Shoutouts 

• Amber D---you're doing a great job implementing the plan. I'm loving the "positive break" calls.
• Amber B thank you for covering for P.E. 
• Betsy V for stepping in for 1:1 coverage 
• Tyler for rocking the new behavior work 
• Melissa thanks for such a wonderful conversation about your ECO space
• Christine and Addie---thank you for covering for teachers 
• Deborah G---thank you for helping me in PK last week---so fun!
• Colby---thank you for providing additional support to your classroom.

Don't forget to send you "shoutouts" along! I'll pop them in the blog weekly. 

News and Announcements 

• District Writing Prompt
• Delivered November 4th or 5th---scored the 6th of November at staff meeting
• We will talk more about this at staff meeting on the 23rd. The rubrics are scoring mainly on the conventions of writing so do not fret you do not have to have taught the writing genre prior to the prompt.  
• There will be No Staff meeting the 13th of November because of family conferences. 
• Family Conferences---The day for conferences is the 11th of November. If you so choose not to host them on that day you can schedule your conferences the week before and the week of the 11th. Please be clear with your families about their available days and how they are to sign up. We can talk a little more at staff meeting next week about this. 
• 3-6 Recess is working to earn soccer privileges back. They are operating on a progression of "soccer ish" and if they are successful then they can have full games back by the beginning of November. The progression is below:
• Recess Soccer Progression
