Science Cadre Opportunity
From Teri Fulton
The Next Generation Science Standards Cadre will be starting up again and I would appreciate recommendation for teachers from your building. This is a small Cadre dedicated to engaging in work involving the Next Generation Science Standards and their integration into Curriculum.
Learning Goals for the NGSS Cadre 2015-16:
??? Identify the alignment between the Learning Goals and the Performance Tasks
??? Identify student work that reflects that alignment
??? Develop an understanding of the Engineering components in NGSS within the three Science strands
Criteria for Selection:
??? Have a working understanding of Next Generation Science Standards, their various components, and intent
To ensure equity among buildings, teacher application does not guarantee acceptance into cadre. If you have teachers who are interested, please forward them this email, along with this link to apply by October 1.
General Music Professional Leave – 10/8/15
From Jodie Lin
All elementary music teachers will attend a district training on 10/8/15. IARC will pay for the substitutes for this learning opportunity. Teachers have been instructed to enter leave and have the leave sent to me for approval/payment.
Principals, please read and forward to your ESL Staff
From Kristin Scott
Good Morning ESL Team,
Pre-K and Elementary, all of your teacher schedules and push-ins in websilk should have been approved by your principal and the ESL teacher. Keep in mind, that you only split teacher???s schedule as needed to adjust the push-in times, and create individual student schedule as needed for pull-out.
Secondary, all of your push-ins should already be entered in websilk. Principal or ESL teacher do not need to approve schedules.
If you have not entered the push-in or pull-out, these need to be done ASAP or no later than this Friday, Sept. 18th (this is the last day you can enter any schedule). DO NOT touch any schedule after Sept. 18th. Websilk will be locked on Sept. 21st.
If you are done with the schedules, you can start working on your ILPs. ILPs are due October 15th, and it is ongoing for the rest of the year.
All of your Weekly meeting logs should be up-to-date in websilk. We still show a lot of school have not entered your meeting log yet. This is ongoing for the rest of the year.
All current ESL students should be identified by now and entered in websilk by this Friday as well. This too is ongoing for the rest of the year.
If you have any questions about Sept. 20th count, please contact Connie. If you have questions about student’s code, please contact Chavonne.
Student Count – Very Important

This is a reminder that there is one more practice count scheduled for Friday, September 18. It is imperative that we receive your accurate count in a timely manner. Please remember that the counts is more than just a head count. The numbers reported should reflect the inclusion of all students who attended at least one day since the beginning of the school year. Students that have transferred, dropped or withdrawn should not be included in this count.
Our final count will be Monday, September 21.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
