Monday Kick-Off
Horn Frog Nation
September 23, 2024
Dear Family,
I hope you had a peaceful and relaxing weekend. We have a Hold drill Tuesday and we have PLC this Thursday. For PLC we will met in Mrs. Martinez's room. Here is the agenda.
To Do's:
- All of you have students on the MTSS tracker because they either DNM on the STAAR, or are below benchmark on their diagnostic. Complete the required information on the MTSS tracker by the end of the week.
- Notes
- Area of Intervention
- Accommodations
- Our 1st six weeks attendance reconciliation is due Friday. Please look out for an email from Mrs. Schweigert.
- You must complete your required annual training and upload your certificates to Eduphoria by September 30th.
"Though you can't always drive improvements through other people and sometimes not even through a team. You can always be an example of Improvement. Remember the way the word is spelled says it the best, "IMPROVEMENT BEGINS WITH I." - Lean Strategies International LLV
With gratitude,
Dr. Wendy Gamble
Shout-Out Board
The shout-out board is up and filling up quickly. I will leave the sout0outs up for the week and then passing them back during our Friday assembly.
How this works:
1) Think of a student, staff member, or volunteer who has been doing a fabulous job, or someone who has helped you out.
2) Grad a Shout Card and write down a compliment.
3) Post it on our shout-out board.

3. Post & review learning targets everyday with your students.
- Tell them what you want them to learn, and how they will know they learned it.
4. Model the concept or skill.
