Safety Drills For March
Fire Drill and Hold
This month, we will be practicing two more safety drills. We will practice how to evacuate the building in case of fire, and a hold drill. These drills help us teach students the processes and ensure we are prepared in case of an emergency.
Dollop of Dyslexia
What Should I Look for in Their Work
“The early identification of students with dyslexia as well as with corresponding early intervention program for these students will have significant implications for their future academic success. Early identification is critical because the earlier the intervention, the easier it is to remediate. If intervention is not provided before the age of eight, the probability of reading difficulties continuing on into high school is 75%.”
Birsch, Judith R. Multisensory Teaching of Basic Language Skills.Paul H. Brooks Publishing Co., Inc. 2011, p.20.
I suspect one of my students may be dyslexic. What should I look for in his work?
· Difficulty reading words in isolation
· Difficulty accurately decoding unfamiliar words
· Difficulty with oral reading (slow, inaccurate, or labored)
· Difficulty spelling
If you suspect a learning disability of any kind, DOCUMENT, keep SAMPLES noting any inaccuracies and bring them to RtI. We need to find these students by second and third grade to see the most benefit.
Attendance Policy
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Every minute Counts!
· School Starts at 7:40am and the final bell rings at 7:50am.
· Your student’s attendance directly affects their success and we want them to SUCCEED!
· 3 Parent Notes for excused absences will be accepted for each student per year.
· If your student has 10+ unexcused absences in a 6 month period, your case will be referred to attendance court.
· If your student has 18+ total absences, excused or unexcused, the attendance committee will review absences and create a program for credit recovery in order to prevent retention.
