At the PTO Meeting on Thursday we are planning again to have grade level reports shared by a teacher from each team. If the members of your grade level need to meet with Lava Teams during this time, just let me know and I can share an update.
Welcome to Cassidy Schutz who will be joining our staff to provide educational assistant support in the Den! Cassidy has substituted in the Den in the past and was selected as the finalist this week by our interview team.
This year we have had a significant increase in the number of ELL students we serve and the number of these students who are newcomers (students with little or no knowledge yet of English) Jessica and all of you have done a fantastic job welcoming these Lions to Lava Ridge and helping them to grow as learners! To assist us in meeting the needs of these students, the department of Multilingual Services has decided to add certified FTE to Lava Ridge beginning January 6th. Sheri Schneider who has been teaching at Ponderosa (and will continue to do so), will be joining our faculty and teaching daily from 9:00-11:55. Sheri’s instructional schedule is in the developmental stages and Jessica or Sheri will be in touch with you and families of your ELL students if this addition impacts the ELL supports for your class.
From Lisa Birk: We would like all staff to participate in a survey to describe their professional development interests. COREN supports many learning opportunities within BLP, and this information benefits both their organization and ours in the sense that it gives us access to supports for our current needs. Professional Development Survey for COREN.
