SEL integrated into ELA PD

This opportunity will take place on April 13 from 5-7 pm at the Campbell Resource Center (1216 Dorchester

Ave). PD will focus on Social Emotional Learning Competencies and Skills. 


Field Trip Anyone?

We are looking to plan a schoolwide friendship and unfortunately the ones I have tried to put together have

fallen through. Ice Skating: they cannot accommodate our school hours; Make Way For The Ducklings

Play: Not enough tickets. Not even enough to accommodate K0/K1 alone. 


If you have any ideas or suggestions for a school field trip, please see me immediately. Please tap into

your networks and let's see what is out there. 


Report Cards

Report Cards will be sent out today via email. 

Data


Attendance Last Week:

FST held a very productive attendance meeting with a family last week. We are considering that one of the

FST meetings a month should be held for just attendance meetings/conferences with families. If there is a

student/absence concern you feel is not being addressed, please reach out to Ms. Govi immediately.



Literacy


Strategic Small Group Instruction PD

Description: This module is geared toward educators already trained in Fundations who want to refine their practice around data-driven, strategic small-group instruction. Participants will

build both knowledge and skills in culturally & linguistically sustaining foundational literacy practices, such

as the use of multiple-criterion decodable text. This version of the module has been condensed from the

longer 8-session course. 

Where: Sessions held virtually 

When: Six Wednesdays, 4:30-6:30pm (April 12, April 26, May 10, May 24, June 7, June 14)

Check out the syllabus here: Equitable Foundational Literacy: Strategic Small Group Instruction 

Register on Vector


For the PD opportunity above, we can payout stipends for teachers at the BTU rate to participate as it would

be over the contractual hours. You have to register by early next week so we can ensure we process

the payments on time for when PDs are completed.

From Bonnie Paton, covering COSE:


Hi,


There is a good chance there will be some meetings held over the April break if reports are uploaded on

edplan.  I am hoping some can be LAPS  meetings and with that the below are meetings are possible

meetings. If you can have the staff have their AR's and goals uploaded before the break that would be

great.


THANKS

Later/Reminders

April PD Clarification:

The two hours do not need to be completed during the same week/day the April 5th PD would have taken

place. Just need to fulfill the hours by before the week of June and show proof. Many of you have been

taking PDs outside of school hours already and those hours will qualify.
