Week of July 14

Happy Tuesday, Friends!  I hope you are enjoying the time off.  I have been making the most of my friends and family time before returning to work next week.  Mike has enjoyed quite a few home cooked meals (applause) and Hannah and Sophie have had daily walks.  LIFE IS GOOD!  

We found out yesterday that we are LEED Gold Certified (WAHOO!) and there is a new article in Texas Architect about our school.   Let me remind each of you, YOU were hand picked to be part of our famiLEE!  It is because of YOU and YOUR EFFORTS that we are transforming education and blazing new trails.  


HOW TO SYNC GMAIL TO CISD EMAIL
If you have been approved by the board, then you have a Coppell ISD Outlook account.  You will also have a Coppell ISD Gmail account.  To access your Outlook account from home, go here.  Your Outlook user name is your first initial, last name.  For example: ckastrounis.  

To access your Outlook account from home, go here. Your Gmail username is first initial, last name, @g.coppellisd.com.  For example: ckastrounis@g.coppellisd.com.  Both of these accounts have the same password.  

Since your Google invites will go to your gmail account AND so that you don't have to check BOTH, here are digital and listed directions to sync the two of them together (thank you Coppell ISD iTeam):
  1. Log into your Google Apps Account (Google Apps 2011-12, if it is your first time, use the password CISD)
  2. Click Email on your Google Apps Dashboard
  3. Click on the gear in the top right corner.
  4. Click on Mail Settings.
  5. Click on "Forwarding POP/IMAP" in the settings tabs.
  6. Click "Add a Forwarding Address"
  7. Type in your regular @coppellisd.com email address.
  8. Open Outlook or Webmail
  9. Find the email from "CISD Administrators Team"
  10. Find the confirmation code in the email.
  11. Highlight and copy the code.
  12. Go back to Google Apps.
  13. Paste the code in the confirmation code box.
  14. Click the verify button.
  15. Click the dot next to "forward a copy…"
  16. Choose what you want to do with the gmail (I prefer to have it marked as read).
  17. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
  18. Click "Save Changes"

iBOOKS CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE WEEK
Thank you for those of you that contributed to last week's Flexible Learning Environment portion for our iBook.  We have over 90 images and some narratives submitted.  Thank you Stacey, Alli, Roxann, Elizabeth, and Amanda for your work on this.  Thank you Britt for learning some funky new widgets for us to use.

Again, we cannot start our work without your help!  This week our focus will be on collecting evidence in relation to  INNOVATIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING.  Below is the part of the rubric that relates to this task in order for you to see what kind of information we are looking for.  






Please drop your written contributions (we need examples of how you have demonstrated this in your spaces), photos and videos in relation to Innovative Learning and Teaching folder in this location by Monday, July 20. Next week, you will receive an updated blog with our next focus.

iBOOKS UPDATE:
We are busy starting to compile information to tell "our story," but we need your help.  Each week we will have a focus and reach out to you to send us documentation (narratives, pictures, and video).  This will ensure our whole building is part of the storytelling and represented AND we will do this virtually so that you can participate from your swimming pool, couch, or beach chair.

If you are interested in going through our Twitter Feed and adding photos to the five categories, please email Chantel and Todd and we will grant you access to the folders.

If you are interested in heading up one of the 5 areas of this project they are:
  • Visionary Leadership

  • Flexible Learning Environment
Thank you, Britt, for meeting with Todd and Chantel today to start the legwork on this.

Week of June 22

Happy last Friday in June.  It is hard to believe we are already this far into summer "break."  For some of you...you haven't had a break yet with trainings and professional learning.  Today is the first day I am OFF from coming into school, yet here I blog.  I believe it is safe to say...we all have a LOVE of this RJL place.  I head out of town on Sunday to Cabo and if you have tried to email me....well.....you will be proud of me- my auto replies are set.  I will be doing my best to disconnect until I see some of you on July 7.

Until then... let me update you on what has happened since school has been out.

Chantel and Todd were trained on new RTI district procedures that we will go over during back to school training.  We hosted Tapping Out with Tiles phonics training with K-2 designers.  We also hosted a full day of Apple Training that reviewed Challenge Based Learning and oriented us to iBooks.  Many of you have attended Balanced Literacy training in the district.  Our very own, Lauren, was a showstopper presenter.   Thank you to those that attended.  Jillian and Kylie attended training with Lucy Calkins.  They will share their learning during district and campus training this year.  Sam has attended Formative Assessment and Global Classrooms training, and Jessica is at an Art Workshop today.  Samira, Todd, Priscilla, and Courtney M. attending Lead4ward Training that we will share about at our first Leadership Meeting.  Not to forget...we have many of you (Samira, Layne, and Taylor) curating math curriculum and doing other work for our district.  THANK YOU!!  I'm sure there are more of you!!  Please let me know if you are left off.   We have an amazing building full of learners and we cannot wait to learn from each of you as you grow this summer.

With the help of Courtney, we got all of our new hires that have Coppell ISD email their MacBooks and most of them their iPads.  (Shelley- I have your MacBook ready when you get in town).  We all remember what it was like being thrown into the Mac world- they are blessed- they have the summer to get oriented.   Here are some resources for ANY of us to use as we grow in our Apple knowledge.   Scroll down to page 11 to find Apple Learning Series Offerings and that live link will take you to the iTunes store.  There are self-paced courses to help you gain skills you are interested in.  If you participate in any of these, or any other summer training.  Please submit your hours in Euphoria for flex credit.

We received word that we have been nominated as an Apple Distinguished Campus.  What does this mean?  Well check this out to learn more.  This is an amazing honor considering they are making an exception for our nomination year one of operation.  Typically schools must be open 2-3 years before they can be recognized.  This nomination is the result of a hugely successful visit from Apple on May 13.  Apple reps were HIGHLY IMPRESSED with the practices they witness with CBL, technology integration and leadership.  Thank you, designers, for BEING YOURSELVES, but also showcasing your greatness!  The result of this visit is our design meeting on July 7.  EVERYONE is invited to attend and learn more, as well as contribute to the creation of our story through iBooks.  Jodi Dienhamer will join us and share her expertise, as well.  Our book is due August 31.

We also found out that the board has approved a pilot that RJL, CMSN, and NewTech@Coppell High will be participating in.  Apple and IBM are partnering in an educational innovation that will easily bring resources for learners to our designers.  As I learn more, I will keep you informed.  

As I will frequently remind you...each of you has been hand picked for our school.  Much work has gone into finding just the right people and in placing you in just the right spot.  We have spent the last few weeks finding additional famiLEE members as we added another first and fourth grade section.  We also found and ESL facilitator that will, most likely, be at Lee full time.  This is great news as our ESL population grows.  Please welcome the following through email or text so that they can begin making connections and feel at home.  

ESL Facilitator:  Claudia Rios cjriosmundo@gmail.com (214) 476-5990
Third Grade: Jess Smith jess_smith2@hotmail.com (817) 874-2398
First Grade: Jacque Johnson jacquejohnson152@gmail.com (469) 438-4697

Our houses will look like this:




So you can see... it has been a busy couple of weeks.  Before we know it July will be here.  Todd and I are back to work on July 21. We will spend July 21 and 22 at the North Texas Regional Consortium Conference.  We are looking forward to attending Roxann's Digital Books Workshop while there.  

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO COMPLETE THESE THREE SURVEYS:
Returning and new staff,  tell us all about yourself.  We will use this information to help with surprises throughout the new school year. 

 Complete this brief survey so that Chantel, Todd, and Angela can better serve you this next school year.  We are already addressing concerns brought to our attention.

Week of June 1

We have made it to the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!  YOU DID IT!!  As your principal, I could not be more proud of each and every one of you.  You have pushed yourselves beyond what you thought you could do and had an experience that many people never have the opportunity to do:  OPEN A SCHOOL.  I sense a sentimental post about this soon, so be prepared!!

Please enjoy the last bit of time with your sweet kiddos.  I apologize for the length of this post.  There is a great deal of information to get out to you.

Lastly, I hope you will get to meet my Daddy tomorrow.  I will be picking him up from the airport at 2:20.  If you are still at school when we get back, I would LOVE the chance to introduce you to him.



DID YOU KNOW?
  • that Crossroads Church (who partners with our PTO, mentors learners, sponsors field trips, provides school supplies, volunteer at school events, and MORE) will be partnering with Valley Ranch Baptist Church and Metrocrest to feed learners at Tom Landry Elementary this summer?  This neighboring elementary school has 90% of its learners on free and reduced lunch.  Crossroads is looking for volunteers on Saturdays from 9:00-11:00 am to put together bags of food to feed hungry children for the week.  If you are interested in being a part of this, for even one Saturday, please let Chantel know.  
  • there is a link to Wednesday's staff meeting presentation with Technology check-in info?
  • you will get a copy of the End of Year Checklist in your mailbox by the end of the day, Friday?  Please remember to work on these task during conference time or before/after school to work towards your six hours for the weather day.  These should not be done during teaching time.
“Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.”– Robert South

“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes


FIELD DAY
Thank you, ALL OF YOU, for helping and making our first (cold and wet) Field Day a fun event for the entire school.  Your positivity was contagious, so THANK YOU!!!  Congratulations to the tug of war winners.  We will have prizes for you at the final Spirit Assembly.  Also, please remember to upload your photos to the Google file Todd shared, by Monday, so we have time to produce a movie for the end of our Spirit Assembly.


FILL THE CAN FOR VAN

Please have your learners count and total your class funds by the end of the day Friday.  We would like to have a campus total for our PTO newsletter.   We cannot wait to see how much you collected!


INFORMATION LITERACY REFRESHER
All district employees must complete an update.  Please complete this by TODAY.  You are welcome to work together, as a house, during one of your conference times.  Thank you, Alli and Courtney, for keeping us compliant!



GRADE LEVEL SCHEDULE LAST WEEK
Please follow the schedules Todd emailed this week for the last week of school.  You will have conference time as grade levels this week, but no PLC time.  You will also have adjusted lunch times.  PLEASE communicate this information to your parents so that they are not alarmed if they bring their child lunch.  Also, Chantel will sit in on your Monday conference times to talk about class lists for next year.  Please bring your pink and blue cards and the family lists that Diana gave you at staff meeting.


ECONOMICS FAIR

Please bring your classes to the 3rd Grade Economics Fair on Tuesday starting at 1:30.  There will be items sold in the cafe, on the learning pavilion, and in the gym.  We will review expectations during morning broadcast, but all staff will be needed to help us with supervision of learners.


FIFTH GRADE GRADUATION
We will have dress rehearsal at 1:00 on Wednesday and the actual ceremony at 1:00 on Thursday.   This event is for fifth graders only (no siblings, please).  Please do not walk through the cafeteria or gym on these days and during these times.


SPIRIT ASSEMBLY
Please join us at 8:00 on Friday for our final Spirit Assembly.  Since we will be presenting awards to learners, please notify your parents if their child is on our Awards Spreadsheet.  They may want to come and watch them be honored.  Awards should be a surprise to learners, so I would request that parents not tell their child that they are receiving an award before the assembly.  Remember all awards must be posted to the Google Spreadsheet by the end of day Friday in order for us to create the certificates and get your signatures on them.


TISSUE ALERT
Please have learners packed up and lining the halls surrounding the media center by 12:45 on Friday.  For the last five minutes of the day we will play music and let fifth graders parade past their peers and  teachers.


ANOTHER SURVEY
Please forgive me, but I received this email, today, from Dr. Denison and she requests your help:  These are to measure engagement, teacher efficacy in utilizing flexible spacing, etc.  I apologize for the late notice.  We will leave these open until the end of school——will you PLEASE, as kindly and apologetically, ask your staff to take these surveys (each should only be 10 to 15 minutes) before they leave school this year?  Below are the links to the two surveys:.

Week of May 25

Enjoy your THREE DAY WEEKEND!  You deserve the time off.  Be safe and make memories!



DID YOU KNOW?
  • LEEdership Council is working on a virtual tour of our building with Alli's help?  We can't wait to share their finished product.  Thank you for sharing your learners with us!
  • 97 % of our learners have access to a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer at home and 78 % of Lee learners shared, “Technology use in class can enhance my learning.”  This data comes from our Clarity survey completed in the fall.
  • that you can donate $5 to wear jeans for the remainder of the school year?  There is an envelope in Chantel's mailbox with a staff list on it.  Mark paid next to your name.  Please wear a campus shirt with your jeans.
  • this secondary school reminds me of Lee?  I especially LOVE the part of Blythe's comment" "We can't expect change to happen in education just by changing the design of a building.  If the teachers and students in the school explore new ways of learning, then it might work...I love this idea, and it might actually succeed because I think educators are now open to the idea of collaborative learning. What do you think?


“The talent you need to be great is already inside you. Don’t wait for someone or something to light your fire–you have the match.”
– HUMANeX Ventures




FIELD DAY
Stay dry!  As long is there is no lightning, Field Day will go on.  Glitters, please plan on relieving designers for 30 minutes during their Chill Station time (white and red blocks).  THANK YOU!


FILL THE CAN FOR VAN
Thank you for inspiring your learners to have gratitude and giving spirits.  We cannot wait to see how much money we raise by next Friday.  Please keep count of your daily totals so that we can contribute to the graph Cassie's class created for a school-wide learning opportunity.  Thank you to those of you (in jeans) that contributed.  After the first day we have $85 towards the Van ISD Fund.


NEED A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT?
At 1:00, on Friday, we will be cleaning out the lounge refrigerator.  If you have anything personal in there, please remove it by then.  THANK YOU!



GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

LEARNER SATISFACTION SURVEY
ALL 2-5 learners should have completed this survey by TODAY.  This is a district and campus survey that will give us feedback about our school.  It is imperative that your learners take this seriously because the district will be reviewing these responses.  I would encourage you to complete as a class so that you can answer/rephrase so that learners understand the question and how they are rating on the survey.  THANK YOU for your help!


INFORMATION LITERACY REFRESHER
