Staff Spotlight: We were super proud how all our students and staff handled the Tornado drill on Thursday! I know it was a little hectic at times, but everyone worked together like a true family.

Week of 1/20 - 1/24

Hey Panda Family,

Week 20! We made it halfway through the year! 🙌 Thank you to everyone for all your hard work so far this year, and especially over the two workdays this week. Your commitment to organizing and executing productive parent conferences definitely did not go unnoticed. I am so honored and proud to work with the best staff 🐼 

Report Cards: Report Cards are due to Ms. True by this Friday, January 31.

Mid-Year PDPs: Friendly reminder that your Mid-Year PDP is due by February 3. Please update the progress on your goals and then let Ms. Gardner or me know so we can review and finalize (see email from 1/6/2020 with instructions). We do not have to formally meet for the Mid-Year.

Sports Team Day: The Superbowl is coming up! This Friday, January 31 we encourage everyone to wear items from their favorite sports team - NFL, College, NBA, High School, etc. We will advertise it on the announcements this week.

Spring Pictures (date change): We had to adjust the date for Spring Pictures. They will now be on Monday, March 23.

Tours: The Kindergarten registration window opens next week. We will be giving periodic tours during the registration period. If you see any of these tour groups in the building, please don't hesitate to welcome them, say Hi, and help make them feel a part of the Piney Grove family! If you know of anyone that will be enrolling next year, or is interested in switching schools to PGE, please have them reach out to Sharon, Pam, or Vickie in the office with any registration questions.

SIOP Presentation (Vocabulary Strategies): Here is a link to Ms. Pereda's presentation on Vocabulary Strategies from our staff meeting. These are great strategies for all students! Make vocab visual!

District Support: This past Friday the district made all schools aware of changes to Instructional Support staff across the county. Effective immediately, most district support staff have been reassigned to fill teacher vacancies in various schools. What this means for us - Jerry Yale (Digital Learning Coach) & Chris Shafer (PLT Coach) will no longer be in their support roles to help us. We are working to get clarity on how staff will get their technology credit for the remainder of the year. Unfortunately, all schools have been impacted by these staffing changes. It is out of our control, but we will work together as a family to continue to support each other. At this time our Office of Early Learning Coach, Shannon Thompson, will still remain in her support role.

Fraudulent Email: It was brought to my attention this past week that multiple staff members received an email from what looked like me with the header “KINDLY FOLLOW UP”. It actually came from the email, brelkins.wsfcs.k12.nc.us@gmail.com, impersonating me. Please delete this email if you see it.

Boosterthon Fun Run: Please note in the calendar below that the Boosterthon Fun Run has been moved to Friday, February 21. We will not have any Boosterthon pep rallies on February 19, which is an Early Release Day. 

PGE Talent Show: Mark your calendars for Friday, March 27th @ 6:30.  Daytime show @ 1:15. We will use ER day lunch schedule. More details to come.

February 6 PD Update: February 6 after-school we will have a training for our 3rd-5th teachers on I-Ready @ 3:30 in the media center (please make sure your MOY diagnostic is completed by then). We will also have a training for our 1st & 2nd grade teachers on Heggerty. Shannon Thompson will conduct this training and it will also start @ 3:30. Location for the Heggerty training is TBD. 

Discretionary Funds: Don't forget about your discretionary funds for instructional materials that was allotted at the beginning of the year. Your discretionary funds need to be spent by the end of February. Send items to me, or Ms. Gardner, for approval and then complete a prior purchase approval form for Pam (yellow sheet). If you need to know how much is left in your grade level/individual account, please email Pam. 

Conferences: These conferences should be a mid-year check-in to discuss each student's progress (academic, behavior, etc.). I encourage you to schedule them in 15-20 minute increments, unless you feel you need more time with the parents. If a parent can not come in for the conference please attempt to schedule a phone conference with them. Once you have your schedule set please share with Ms. Landreth so she can expect the parent visitors. We will be following up with everyone on how the conferences are going in PLTs. Feel free to use all or some of the teacher workday on January 24 for your conferences. The deadline for K-2 conferences is Friday, January 31. The deadline for 3-5 conferences is Friday, February 14 (we should have all 2nd quarter testing results in at this point for 3-5 to be able to share with parents).   

Staff Spotlight: Shout-out from Ms. True to Ms. Jones, Ms. Mabe, Ms. Crisp, and Ms. Edwards for already having their report cards done a week early (hope I didn't leave anyone out)! Thanks to everyone for working so hard on these!

Math Night: Math Night will be held at the Food Lion (near Panera) will be held on March 12^th.  Mark your calendar!  We hope that many teachers will be able to attend to interact with our families as they complete the math activities. 

i-Ready: The Mid-Year Diagnostic period has begun runs through February 14^th. However, we have scheduled our next training for 2/6/2020, which means that we need to have all assessments completed by 2/5/2020.   If you have specific questions that you would like to have addressed at our training, or if there is an element of the program that you want to learn more about, please send me those questions by Thursday.  I want to send them to our trainer so that she can be prepared to address them.

SSP reminder: As we begin 3rd quarter, please make sure your SSP data and contacts are up to date.  If you are ready to end the plan, great!  If you are ready to move on to a new skill, fantastic!  If you need to move to IST, please let me know when you would like to meet.  We will find a time that is convenient and discuss what changes need to be made.
