This and That:
Conferences: Please let Kelle know when you have completed all of your conferences.
Art in the Meadow: Please start digitizing 2-3 pieces of art for each student and put them in your Art in the Meadow folder. A few ideas for digitizing your art: scan on the copy machine, take a photo with your phone or iPad, have a parent take the photos for you, or the office will take photos for you (art must be in the office by 5/15 for help).
Multilingual Supports: Below are some definitions that were recently in the monthly ELL newsletter that describe the supports for students/ teachers/ families of multilingual students. I thought you might find these helpful:
- Interpreter (Linguist Link): Neutral two-way transmitter of communication
- Liaison (Martin): Cultural broker, advocate, navigator
- Language Specialist (Melinda): Instructional expert for multilingual teaching and learning
Elections (from Alandra): In advance of the May election, this is a great time to share and review our handy dandy Election Guidance document, which outlines key dos and don’ts for public employees related to elections.
T-shirt/ Sweatshirt Sales: Our T-shirt design winner will be announced on Monday 4/11. Order forms will be ready in the next week or so.
