Nitty-Gritty

  • Hall Supervision
    • As we get back into the swing of things, please remember the importance of hallway supervision at all times of the day.  When students are being closely monitored, we can head off conflicts and physical issues between students in those unstructured times.  You may find it helpful to work with your neighbors to help with this supervision as well. Thank you in advance for your diligence!
  • Testing Reminders
    • Starting Monday, the mid-year assessment window opens for the year.  This winter we need to complete the i-Ready assessments for grades 3-5, and FastBridge for grades 5K-2.  In addition, we will also be administering the AIMSWeb assessments for Grades 4K-3rd as well.  The intervention team plus some others with experience will be coming into grab students 1:1 for many of the assessments, or we will be setting up a time to do the iPad assessments for some of the grades with homeroom teachers.  Please watch for an email.
    • Also, please remember that we will not have the time to proctor or set up re-takes of tests this winter.  Please let students know this when you start and be sure that all testing accommodations are in place for students that use them in your plans

Behavior Specialist Info

Student Support Plan (incidental help)

As we welcome Patti into her new role, it seems like a good time to review procedures for getting support for students. 


When a student needs support, call the office and tell staff if the student is:

  • in special education or regular education

  • if the student needs a break or if immediate response is needed due to a meltdown and/or class disruption.


The office staff will call for support and send them your way.


Behavior Referral Reminders

Thank you for all of your hardwork in making sure behaviors are documented so we can best support our kids and look for trends to be proactive. Please remember:

  • The adult that witnessed the incident/the incident was reported to should write it up.

  • Only use the student's name that you are writing up. For example “Mrs. Chambers hit a peer in the arm with an open hand at recess.”

  • Minors are sent to parents daily before 4:00. 

  • Majors are reviewed, consequences are assigned, and then sent out to parents as soon as possible.

Recess Information

Recess Reboot

Please sign up for a time for Mrs. Chambers to come in to talk about recess.


Shed/recess equipment

When you are on bus duty, please open the shed when you blow the whistle for students to line up so the JCs can set up recess.


Student specific needs

Some of our students have lagging skills in being able to line up and keep their bodies to themselves. When the whistle blows, the following students should come directly in and wait by their classroom doors instead of in the lines outside:


1st - Gabe S.

2nd. Issac M., Jonathanmose W., Hudson M.

3rd. Amelia R, Brenna S, JJ

5th. Jesse S.




Friday Funny

Lexi is such a good sport at all times!  This was her Christmas present from her brother this year along with a fancy pot that has a lid to help her strain pasta too.  If you want to hear a retelling of the story of Lexi making pasta for the first time, ask Ella.  No one tells it better than her!  LOL
