1. Please have all progress monitoring documents updated and uploaded into Aware
2. Please have a new goal or an updated goal ready for the meeting
3. Please have your notes ready for the RTI meeting
4. Make sure to bring your device and be ready to share about your learner
5. Remember, that if you want to move a learner to a different tier, please have all documents to support that move including updated assessments and they are uploaded into Aware

BOOK FAIR
Don't forget to remind your parents that the Lee Spring Book Fair is still open online until 2/20.  There are no charges for shipping.


DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
It is the time of the year when learners are needing to be reminded about digital citizenship.  Feel free to get set up in the CISD Empowered Citizens Schoology course.  The course has mini lessons and resources for you that can be used in your classroom and implemented into lesson design as you create lessons.  The course code is: ZMRFK-SQ3P3 and you can find the lessons in the Discovery Library under the "Let's Get Started" folder.

CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH

We will give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 1:  Achieving Expectations.  We will be looking for evidence that your learners have mastered content and are held to high levels of accountability for their learning.  This looks like self-assessing, reflecting on menu work or assignments, posting to Schoology or SeeSaw, etc. 

LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:

Risk-taking- exposure to possible loss or injury

LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:

Live so that you will never have regrets.  If there is something you want to do, DO IT!
