It’s Firebusters week! In your mailbox is a flyer for your students and coupons for free ice cream for those who complete the five days of activities and return their sheet. Thank you for your time collecting the returned sheets and for your support of this program! Please route collected sheets to the office by October 17. We’ll send an email reminder too that week.
Thank you for continuing to select Wayfinder lessons as “completed” after you’ve taught them to your class. If you haven’t yet, you can go back retroactively and do this. The Office of Student Well-being has asked that we continue this practice.
From TLC: If you haven’t yet, please register for the Educator Network Day on October 8th. Here are the topics and locations. Thank you for registering even if you plan to attend the session at your school.
We are planning that students will learn the Bend La Pine Schools anti-bias lessons between October 16-28. The ICCL Team has set aside time for teachers to review the lessons during SIW on 10/15. We’ll have information for families (including the lessons) in the our newsletter.
From Julie Richards, Curriculum and Instruction: This year the decision has been made to adjust progress monitoring requirements. Here are the 25-26 Progress Monitoring Guidelines Schools will receive an email with a spreadsheet that lists who/what to progress monitor. Students who score 0-10th percentile are monitored 2x per month and 11-20th are monitored 1x per month using acadience progress monitoring materials. If the spreadsheet indicates “NONE” that means you do not have any students in that grade level below the 20th percentile. You can choose to progress monitor additional students. ROAR is given as a benchmark: September, January and June. It can be given as a progress monitor in November and March. More information on when that window will open as we get closer to the date.
From Educational Technology: Starting October 8, teachers will have access to grade-level data for all students in your grade, not just your homeroom. This change was developed with input from instructional coaches and in response to teacher requests, making it easier to review scores and plan during grade-level meetings.
In addition to your homeroom, a new class will appear in Clever and other core applications that includes all students at your grade level across the school. For example, if you teach 4th grade at Juniper, you’ll see a class titled Juniper – All 4th Grade Students.
Both your homeroom and grade-level classes will appear in each application, including Acadience, RGR, DreamBox, Amplify, Lexia, and ILC — with Forefront to follow. When creating assignments or assigning other digital content, be sure to select your homeroom class so materials go only to your students. Each application makes it easy to switch between classes when needed.
