State Testing-<\/span><\/strong> The window for state testing is now open and will be open until June 3. Don’t worry, we aren’t late. Grades 3-5 will all be participating in ELA and Math. 5th grade will also be completing the Science test. There are a lot of things we need to cover before beginning. In order to cover everything we will have a testing training meeting on Tuesday, March 29 at 2:30 in the library. If you teach 3rd, 4th or 5th grade, special education, Title or are an EA who might proctor some of the tests, please plan on attending. If you are an EA and that is outside of your scheduled work time, we can time sheet or trade for the extra time, or you can connect with Gary to figure out an alternative. Included in the meeting will be security training, accommodation planning and testing scheduling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conferences-<\/span><\/strong> Guidelines\/ Timelines<\/a> for conferences. Please fill out your schedule<\/a> so we know down at the office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM- From your STEM team<\/span><\/strong>– STEM \u2013 Life Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so excited to begin our schoolwide Life Science units that will begin when we return from Spring Break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is our first time trying to vertically align a NGSS strand and we thank you for your willingness and flexibility as we strive to create meaningful learning experiences for our students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many staff members expressed a desire for a Padlet as a way to share what we are doing in class.  For this Padlet, each week your grade level PLC will write a short blurb and attach some photographic evidence of the great things you are doing in class.  The Padlet link<\/a> can also be found in the Bronco Bulletin Website STEM page.  Admin will use the Padlet to share information in their newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to highlight schoolwide student learning is through sharing Fun Fact morning announcements.  Here\u2019s what your team will need to do:  On this document<\/a> you will record the Fun Fact your students will be sharing, as well as the 2 students at your grade level who can present at the morning announcements with Mr. Lindsay.  (Each grade will be presenting twice, 2 students each time.). Please sign up by Friday, April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome and Thanks-<\/span><\/strong> We would like to formally welcome Sharon Stevens, who will be subbing for Alyssa K. the rest of the year. If you haven’t already met Sharon, take a moment to go introduce yourself. We would also like to thank Amy Ruff for filling in so well for Claire. Claire will return to her classroom after spring break and we are sure to see Amy in classrooms around the school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EBISS-<\/span><\/strong> Beginning the week we return from spring break, EBISS will be held on Thursdays<\/a>. The first Thursday EBISS will be fourth grade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staffing-<\/span><\/strong> Sometime soon after spring break, we will be receiving our staffing allocations from the district office and will use those allocations to create a staffing plan. Please take a few minutes to complete this staff input form<\/a> and turn it into Jon or Gary by Wednesday, April 6. These will help us if we need to make any changes to assignments for next year. Questions? Come and see us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
