2nd week of school

We made it through our first week. It seems as though we have been in school for months:)

This week we celebrate our 50th Anniversary! 50 years of EXCELLENCE  and each of you are now part of history at East Point Elementary School. Just a reminder that on Thursday we will have a celebration parade at 8:30 celebrating former faculty of East Point. On Thursday, we are asking everyone to wear a throwback East Point shirt. On Friday, those of you that are purchasing the 50th Anniversary shirt are asked to wear them on that day, everyone else is asked to wear an East Point shirt on this day.

CEIC members please remember we have a CEIC meeting this Wednesday at 3:00.

Dual language teachers in Pre K- 1 will have a training on Imagine Learning Espanol from 3:00-3:45 in the lab on Aug. 30. This has been on the calendar so all dual language teachers do need to be in attendance.

Don't forget about your timelines for DRA and IStation testing. 

Please submit and post your SMART goals by end of the week please.

ELL dual language tutoring for 2nd -6th grade students begins on Sept. 7. Tutoring for all students K-6 starts September 13.  You will receive the letters and rosters via email. Please send out your tutoring permission slips a week prior to the start date. Grade level chairs, please provide a tutoring list to the front office so we are aware of what students you have for tutoring.

A friendly reminder that your Teaching Partner responses are due on Sept. 15. Your TTESS goals and paraprofessional goals are due by Sept. 16.

Grandparent's Day celebration will be next Friday. I discussed the times in last weeks blog so please take note.

16 de septiembre parade will be on Sept. 16. We will have our first Social Studies parent night on the 15 of September from 5:30-6:30. There will be a sign in and out sheet for teachers.

Our first early release is on September 28. Instead of having PD on early release and then staying late on Thursdays until 4:15 we will change our practice on early release days. We will stay until 4:15 on early release days and then on the next day you can leave at 3:30. That would give you an extra afternoon of planning and getting ready for the next week.

Happy August Birthdays to... Hope your day is as special as each of you.
