We are headed into the last full week of the year! What a rollercoaster it has been at times, but we have made it 😃 Congratulations, and thank you for making this such a successful year regardless of what has been thrown our way! Go Pandas! 🐼
Phase 2/EOY Plan: Please refer to the following document linked below for our Phase 2/End-of-Year Plan. It has important dates and instructions for this upcoming week. Phase 2/EOY Plan - Piney Grove Elementary
Report Cards: Here is a list of all the items that need to go in the report card envelope that is being mailed home:
Narrative Report Card
Transportation letter
Grade Level at a Glance
Attendance Report
Istation Report (K-3)
IEP Progress Report (EC students only)
Featured Teacher/Staff: Thank you to everyone who has participated in our weekly Facebook "Featured Teacher/Staff" post. Our school community has enjoyed getting to know more about each of you. If you haven't joined the fun, please make sure to fill out the Google survey linked below. We plan to continue this into the summer. Thank you Ms. Jones for putting this together each week!
Canvas Training: There will be “Get Started In Canvas” sessions offered everyday for the next 3 weeks at 8am, 10am, 12pm and 2pm. These overview sessions will last 2 hours and will give teachers the information they need to get started with virtual training in Canvas and how to export/import their PSL classes into Canvas. There is a signup for teachers in the link with a capacity of 200 in each session. Please make sure you attend at least one of these sessions.
Class of 2020 Pandas: Thank you to those sharing photos & leaving a message for the Panda Seniors. Just a reminder to go share a favorite memory, inspirational quote, or special message if you'd like. There are photos on the 1st, 4th, & 5th grade pages if you are trying to remember who is in this class. We are trying to get photos for each year. Many panda teachers that taught this group have retired, please share with them if you have a current contact. Contact Ashley Pollard with questions.

IF Updates
Istation report: There are two copies of your student reports, one of for cum folder and report card, in your box. I printed these for you to save you some time. However, if you notice a problem with any of your Istation reports, or want to reprint for any reason, here are the steps to follow. First, log into the Istation "For Educators" part. Go to the Reports tab across the top. Choose the report (I printed Student Summary Handouts for you). Click the blue Run Selected Report button, noting that sometimes you have to "Customize Report" first. Once you pull up the report, choose the printer if you are at school. If you want to get these ready to print at school, then at home, you can choose "Print to PDF" (and then you can reopen the report at school and quickly print it). Either way, I usually print two pages on one page under "More settings" at the bottom of the print dialogue box.
SSP/ISP data UPDATE: All K-5 teachers, you MUST enter all data into plans before the end of the year. The plans automatically close over the summer, so we do not have the option to enter it in August. Please make sure you do this before you leave for the summer. Email me when this is complete so that I can check you off as being complete. Need help? Just let me know!
More about PD: When you go to school for your assigned days, please plan to take your computer so you can evaluate the workshops evaluations while on the school wifi.

I hope you will watch the video below with the read aloud for "Our Class is a Family". It goes perfectly with our family school theme. Ms. Flynn has purchased this book, and if you would like to record yourself reading it to your class it will be available in the office this week for you to do so. Just come by, check it out, record yourself reading it, and then bring it back for the next person. Thanks MaryBeth!
