Tomorrow we begin again, returning to the routines we have carefully crafted in the months before, reconnecting with our students who have likely missed the predictability of school (and also may not remember a few of the expectations!), and beginning one of the longest and most productive stretches of instructional days during the year. These are months we often we see students make unexpected growth and progress in areas they have been gaining traction during the fall. It is an exciting time and a busy time! Be sure to note the dates above and review our meeting calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is lots of information in this edition of Bronco Notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can&#8217;t wait to see you all and continue the ride! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educator Network Day <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our SIW on January 10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;from 1:45-3:15 will be led by Admin\/ICCL and is dedicated to introducing and planning for the changes to the Oregon Math Standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walkie Talkie Guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are rolling out our new communication plan this week, and it may take some time. Thank you for being flexible with the change and understanding that while it may feel unfamiliar, it is an important step and one we can easily adjust to as we learn through it. Please review the guidance documents which explains where walkie talkies will be located, when they will be used, the importance of care and keeping, and how\/when to call the office, Michelle or Stephanie when there is an immediate need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bronco Expectations (Go slow to go fast&#8230;and far!) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If ever there was a week we should live by these words, this one might be it- perhaps moreso than the first week of school. The return can be challenging for some children and we can make it easier and help students find quick success  by taking our time to review and practice expectations for recess, lunchtime, classroom transitions. As you plan for your week, you have likely already created space for this to happen- make it fun, create a game, sing songs and to motivate our young Broncos, you can share the important arrival of Kindness Yetis! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ytsurvey.org\/bendfamily24\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.ytsurvey.org\/bendfamily24\">Youth Truth Survey<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our survey window is from January 2nd &#8211; 26th. We will be sharing this link with families on January 2nd in a Synergy email. We will also ask that teachers share in their class news. With a goal of over 50 % participation we will also be getting creative, incentivizing and creating in-person opportunities for families to participate this month. More communication will be shared this week and next as we work to increase our community&#8217;s participation level this year.  Thanks to each of you for participating and inviting our families to participate as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We will use part of our January 10th Staff Mtg time for completing the Staff Survey. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Observations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">January will be an important time for completing mini and formal observations. If you are on cycle, temporary, or probationary I will reach out to identify times for us to complete each part of the formal observation (pre-meeting\/debrief). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress Report Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday at SIW we will take a short amount of our time to discuss and plan for Progress Reporting in February. One of our next Staff Meetings will be dedicated to Progress Reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elementary-curriculum-instruction\/2023\/12\/13\/december-13th-update\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elementary-curriculum-instruction\/2023\/12\/13\/december-13th-update\/\">TLC blog<\/a> which shares a link to the District <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1aXNJ7b7UTvl2T5QibO1-2onJ1ei8N7vZ\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1aXNJ7b7UTvl2T5QibO1-2onJ1ei8N7vZ\">Report Card<\/a> folder, as your team begins to plan for assessing and reporting student growth at the end of the month. We can link this folder to our Bronco Bulletin if that is helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a nice grid of <strong>pre-selected Wayfinder activities<\/strong> you might use this month. Please make sure to mark complete in the Wayfinder Dashboard when you have tried a lesson or activity with students. This is helpful information for tracking progress on our school goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3rd \u2013 5th Grade Teams: <\/strong>Time to order your HD Word PLUS teacher resource pages for books 2 and 3 Please fill out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/2imjQR9zazABzdeS7\">this form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dibels Day and MTSS Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dibels Day is on January 11th for Buckingham. We are planning to enlist roving subs to complete a round of MTSS for Reading for each grade level on the following Wednesday, January 18th. As you plan for students in the weeks ahead, please gather additional data points, information about trends and patterns you are noting for your readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katie and I will share a schedule for that with you but have identified Wednesday, January 18th as our MTSS Day this month- please mark on your calendars! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By having these meetings structured and completed in one day,  we can keep our Thursday afternoons available for essential PLC work and meeting with specialists, which was identified as a focus area\/goal during our PLC SIW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/outlook.office.com\/mail\/id\/AAQkADM2NWFmNmVmLTcxMzEtNDQ1ZC1hY2QxLWQ5NzBiYjZiZWZhYgAQAKt6ji2wZ8VAoDOOSqfxDEQ%3D\/sxs\/AAMkADM2NWFmNmVmLTcxMzEtNDQ1ZC1hY2QxLWQ5NzBiYjZiZWZhYgBGAAAAAAAoJaZdO7%2BgRZ1qFYenK3eQBwCWWwAkzrNWT4YqrSTtSV2ZAAAAAAEMAACWWwAkzrNWT4YqrSTtSV2ZAACQZngFAAABEgAQABKP8iJ%2B5JlNhFmWLLGkuXk%3D\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/outlook.office.com\/mail\/id\/AAQkADM2NWFmNmVmLTcxMzEtNDQ1ZC1hY2QxLWQ5NzBiYjZiZWZhYgAQAKt6ji2wZ8VAoDOOSqfxDEQ%3D\/sxs\/AAMkADM2NWFmNmVmLTcxMzEtNDQ1ZC1hY2QxLWQ5NzBiYjZiZWZhYgBGAAAAAAAoJaZdO7%2BgRZ1qFYenK3eQBwCWWwAkzrNWT4YqrSTtSV2ZAAAAAAEMAACWWwAkzrNWT4YqrSTtSV2ZAACQZngFAAABEgAQABKP8iJ%2B5JlNhFmWLLGkuXk%3D\">CEP (Community Eligible Provision)Free Breakfast\/Lunch<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information was shared with our community over the break and beginning this week, all students can receive free breakfast and lunch without any application process, at Buckingham. Please take a moment to read should you receive any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will be sharing additional information with families this week but as of  Tuesday (Jan. 2) students will not be charged when selecting school lunches. This can occasionally create challenges in instances where students bring lunch from home and also want school lunch- please work with your families to be sure we are providing what they want for their children! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/14-mA5ErZT_I8nyoIF-F5ADvLkjBRTK-3\/view\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/14-mA5ErZT_I8nyoIF-F5ADvLkjBRTK-3\/view\">Opportunity for K-2 Teachers<\/a>&#8211; Forest Classroom PD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This looks really great and subs are covered by the program.
