What a fabulous week it's been, participating in beginning-of-the-year goal setting with so many of you! Angel, Kat, and I are incredibly impressed with the thoughtful reflection and goal-setting ideas you've each brought to the table. We look forward to supporting you on your journey. THANK YOU for embracing a growth mindset and continually pushing yourselves as professionals. As a token of my appreciation for all your hard work, I am having pizza delivered after school for those who want something to eat before Curriculum Night. Enjoy, and love to you all!
- you should always wear your badge/ID and close doors and turn off lights when you leave spaces? CISD Safety Audits will begin, soon.
- if a student needs to be in the library during recess, that you need to contact Holly to let her know? They should check in with her when they arrive. She is not in the media center between 11:30 and 12:00, so if you have a learner during that time, please send them to the office or clinic for supervision.

TECHNNOLOGY REMINDERS FOR STAFF AND LEARNERS
- ALL LEARNERS should have their picture as their background on their home screen so we can easily identify the owner of the iPad. They should not create their own designs or put pictures of anything else as their home screen.
- Learners should only take pictures and videos as instructed to do so in class. The iPad is not a personal photo album for them, and we should not see pictures and videos from home on their iPad that do not relate to a school assignment.
- Learners should be reminded that there is a filter on the iPad and that whatever they do can be re-traced and reported. School digital citizenship expectations apply, at all times, when learners are using their school iPads. Learners should not erase their history and we will do random history checks to hold them accountable.
- If learners damage their iPad, their case, headphones, or charger, they will be financially responsible for the damage.
- Learners must carry iPads with two hands and "hug them to their chest" when they are walking with them.
- Learners should never leave an iPad on the floor.
- Learners should not be eating their snacks and using sticky or dirty fingers to work on their iPad. (I am seeing a great deal of this)
- iPads are not permitted to be used on the bus. They should remain in learner backpacks.
- Learners leaving for extended travel are to leave their iPad and charger at school for when they return.
- Any parent/guardian that would prefer that their learner iPad and charger remain at school, should communicate with the Designer. We are happy to keep it safe and charged for your child. (remind this at Curriculum Night)
Pro Parenting Tip: Schedule dentist and doctor appointments outside of school hours or choose afternoon slots so your child doesn't have to miss school. Every day counts! Thank you for supporting your child's education and helping us maintain strong attendance. Together, we can make a difference!

This person must be a strong communicator, confident about sharing their thoughts and ideas, respected by their peers, and be elected. Please discuss this role with your learner to see if they have an interest in campaigning. If your child does want to run, we’ll refer to him/her as a candidate. As they "run" for this position, please abide by these guidelines:
Candidates may create a campaign video or prepare a speech to speak in front of the class. Make sure you:
Introduce yourself
Share why you would be the best candidate for this position
Share what you will do to make Lee Elementary a better place
Speak for 2 minutes or less.
OPTIONAL: Campaign poster
If your child is in 5th grade and was elected in grades Kinder through 2nd, they may run to be a class representative again this year.
Good luck!

Thank you for allowing us to crash your House Time today. I just wanted to share what we talked about. We were informed of a few changes to the mClass Intervention system on Friday. Here are the changes:
When recommending learners for MTSS, we should consider all data points such as: mClass, MAP, DRA or F&P levels, struggles with writing, general academic/behavioral performance in class.
You have two options when it come to learners who are showing up as RED OR YELLOW:
Option 1: Group below or well below students using mCLASS Intervention. Generate the lesson sets. Do the lesson sets with fidelity. Progress Monitor every 8-10 lessons. Generate the next lesson set.
Option 2: Group below or well below students using mCLASS Intervention. Note the focus skill(s) of the group. Use the lessons from the Instruction tab aligned with that focus skill(s). Progress monitor every week or every other week.
Progress monitoring for learners who are showing up as Red or Yellow MUST BE completed in mClass Amplify. All progress monitoring resources are in our mClass Schoology Course.
Please reach out to your learning coaches if you have further questions.
Did you know that Adult ESL classes for our learner’s families start this week? Your very own Lee LAS will be co-teaching Adult ESL at Wilson Elementary on Tuesdays from 5:30-7:00 PM. A second class is offered on Thursday evenings at CMS East from 5:30-7:00PM. Please share this with any of our families that might be interested and benefit from adult English classes. Let me know if you would like a brochure to send communication with more details.
