I have enjoyed this first round of Team Time. Thank you for your efforts to write meaningful and measurable goals for this school year. Being in so many classrooms this week reminds me of what an incredible staff we have. The environment you create for our learners is OZsome (see what I did there?). I hope in the next couple of days you give yourself 60 seconds to stop what you are doing, pause, and look around to celebrate what you have accomplished so far. YOU ARE AMAZING AND CARED FOR SO VERY MUCH! We could not be more pleased with the first two and a half weeks of school and what you are part of creating at Lee!!! Have an incredible L-O-N-G weekend!
- that there is a calendar for learning coaches? Here it is. Also check out the visual on the fridge in the lounge to let you know who is here.
- that it is better to call 911 on your cell phone if there is an emergency? This will route your call to the correct service providers. You have a better chance of quick response time when NOT using Teams.
- if you are having any trouble with Raptor and you have AT&T, see Angel?

When ordering from approved vendors like Amazon, Office Depot, Barnes and Noble, Really Good Stuff, Dick Blick, Staples, Michaels, School Specialty, and Lakeshore, copy the link of each item and email links to the Principal’s secretary along with submitting a paper copy of the Purchase Order form to the Principal. This will speed up the ordering process.If you are ordering from another vendor (not online) a quote is required, so please request one before you complete a paper copy of the Purchase Order form and place it in the principal’s mailbox.
If you haven't done so already, please email a photo of your respect agreement to Kat and Angel so that they can put it in the office Discipline Binder. We will refer to your respect agreements when learners have behavior reflections. Remember that there should only be 3-4 bulleted expectations in each quadrant.
New teachers - When the staff upload file is submitted to Cambium all new teachers will receive an email from Cambium notifying them of steps needed to complete the account creation process. Please be advised that this email from Cambium is not phishing. Once you have finished the steps in the account creation email, then there is nothing else that you need to do at this time. You will not be able to see any data in CRS for your students until the roster upload process has been completed. A separate communication will be sent when rosters have been uploaded.
Returning Teachers - If you are a returning teacher, then you already have a user account for Cambium. When you login for the first time this school year, you will need to select the "Reset Password" link on the login screen. An email will be sent to reset your password. Be advised that this email may be caught up in the Mimecast filtering system. You may follow these step-by-step instructions to login and reset your password for this school year. Once you have reset your password, then there is nothing else that you need to do at this time. You will not be able to see any data in CRS for your students until the roster upload process has been completed. A separate communication will be sent when rosters have been uploaded.
After rosters have been uploaded, further communication will be sent with instructions for accessing state assessment data in the Central Reporting System for your students.

NWEA MAP:
Thank you so much for your flexibility in meeting with me on Monday instead of Thursday. I appreciate all of you for following the MAP schedule. Please know I am open to feedback now that you have lived it for BOY assessments.
NWEA MAP has updated their linking studies. You will see changes in both Reading and Mathematics. NWEA MAP does not provide traditional "cut scores;” rather, they provide a nationally normed target mean score. NWEA MAP is to be used as one data point in concert with other data points to determine the best instruction for a child. Educators should respond with appropriate instruction.
WHO IS ON CAMPUS?
In the lounge, on the middle refrigerator, you should see a page that looks like this.
We will update it with a magnetic arrow so you know who is on campus that day.
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
A great tool for emergent bilingual learners is the ability to use text to speech on documents and articles on the iPad. Check out the link for a tutorial showing how to utilize and easily set this up. Click this link for a video tutorial.
