Greetings Roadrunners,
My giant candy dish will be full on Monday and I’m excited to see everyone this week!
Here’s the first regular edition of my weekly staff announcements, which I generally send out Sunday mornings and hope staff read by Tuesday night each week. I know my announcements can get long, but my intention is to only send one all-staff email each week, instead of firing off lots of emails throughout the week. They also get long because I try to cover of a lot of business items in an attempt to avoid the classic meeting-that-should-have-been-an-email scenario. And to help staff get though all of this efficiently, I try to make the heading for each item fairly descriptive so you can decide if that item is relevant to you or not. Here we go!
A record breaking 32 items of note for this week:
• Staffing Updates – For our Title 1 EA vacancy, we’ve hired Martha Murdock, who has previously worked as a BEST EA at Spring Creek and was with the KITS program here at Howard this summer. We also now have a new School Psychologist, Cassidy Toth who is new to 4J, but who we are very glad to have on-board. Please welcome Martha and Cassidy to the STELLAR Howard Team! For your reference, linked here is an updated 2018-2019 Staff List and linked here is an updated 2018-2019 Howard Map with names and room numbers.
• Updated 2017-2018 Master Schedule – Linked here and on the Howard Google Team Drive is a slightly updated 2018-2019 Master Schedule (PDF and XLS). Folk affected already know, but just so everyone else is in the loop.
• Classroom Schedules & Classroom Buddy Info to Lori – Speaking of schedules, as teachers solidify your daily schedules, remember to give Lori a copy. Also be sure to let her know who your Buddy classroom is. The master schedule has most of this information, but it doesn’t always reflect Classroom Buddy times, Library times, or other regularly scheduled activities outside of the classroom, which helps the office know where classes are when we need to locate students or staff.
• Howard Library News! – Below are library updates from our fabulous librarian, Julie Hopkins:
Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer, I was busy being a Mom and wife with a couple of small vacay’s and reading OBOB books :)
I will have my schedule available for library sign up at the circulation desk in the library starting on Monday August 27th. Please stop by or feel free to send me an email. I will finalized the library class schedule times, once all of our amazing teachers have submitted their requests. It would be wonderful if I could hear from everyone by Friday, August 31st at the latest.
Library classes will begin the first full week of school
• Sept 10th – 14th – 1st week of library. library/story cove expectations as well as surrounding areas.
• 17th – 21st – check out procedures and shelf expectations grades 3-5 will check out starting this week
• 24th – 28th – expectations, additional check out information 1 -2 grade will check out starting this weekI would like to please ask, that students continue to walk around the library and not use it a short cut, unless they are with an adult or have special permission. This includes mornings and after school, also. This helps in so many ways, thank you.
Looking forward to a great school year!
Julie Hopkins
• K-3 Smarty Ants Pilot Opportunity – Here’s a very cool opportunity! Susan Penrod asked if any Howard K-2 (and possibly 3rd grade) teachers are interested in piloting Smarty Ants, an online foundational reading program to accelerate students towards mastery (similar to DreamBox). Although intended for K-2, they said it may also be useful for below grade level 3rd graders. Susan would provide a training on how to use the program later in September or October, but this sounds like a great independent reading activity for students during Reading Tier II or Tier III times. Let me know by the end of the week if you’re interested and/or willing to be part of this pilot.
• Meet Your Teacher – During Meet Your Teacher on Tuesday, September 4th at 1:00, I’d like to repeat what we did last year, having all non-classroom staff available to direct families, passing out school maps with highlighters to help guide families, and also passing out a flyer about the first day of school and parking lot procedures. We’ll also give staff a complete set of class lists to be used this day and also on the first day of school.
• First Days of School Plan – Our first and second day of school routine has worked well the past two years, so we’ll once again want all-hand-on-deck to help at 7:25 on Wednesday, September 5th and Thursday, September 6th. Here’s the plan for the first and second morning with students:
First Day
• Students will come in at 7:25 and get grab-and-go breakfasts. The wall separating the cafeteria and gym will be open.
• Classroom teachers, also at 7:25 when the doors open, will be in the cafeteria, gym, and courtyard to meet students. Each teacher will have tall t-square signs with teacher name and room number (except for kindergarten, who’s doing something different this year). 1st – 4th grade will meet in the Gym. KG and 5th will meet in the cafeteria &courtyard.
• Non-classroom staff, also starting at 7:25, will be at the front entrance, the gym, and the cafeteria to help guide students and families. All staff will be given class lists to help guide students as well as a handful of building maps to pass out.
• After the first bell at 7:50 rings, Allan will make a brief announcement from the stage and then dismiss classes to go to their classrooms. Non-classroom staff will have assigned areas to help with student flow and for students arriving late. Staff will be stationed at the front entrance, cafeteria & gym, the hallway corners of the library, and one person in each wing (upstairs and downstairs).Second Day
• Starting this day, students will follow our normal routine, but non-classroom staff should still to be available one more day 7:25-7:50 to help students with that routine of breakfast, 1st – 5th to the playground, and lining up right before the 7:50 bell (I’ll put out the T-square classrooms signs to help students know where to line up). After the 7:50 bell rings, non-classroom staff should again take their same places as the day before to help guide any lost students or families.Staff helping should hold onto their class lists and maps from Meet Your Teacher and the first day to help guide families on the second day. Linked here is the First & Second Day Map & Directions for where people will be stationed. Anyone who can’t flex their hours to come in earlier these two days, please let me know so I can adjust where people are stationed.
• Kinderzone! – 4J is aligning kindergarten start-of-the-year procedures across the district. For the first three days of school, all schools will have kindergarten students see all teachers and on Friday kinder teams will create class lists after having had time to get to know all students, which will then be posted outside the office on Friday, Sept. 7. Linked here is the letter that will be sent out to kindergarten families (English and Spanish)
• Power Outage Labor Day Weekend – EWEB needs to de-energize the main electrical service to the Howard building to complete their connections for their micro-grid install. This has been scheduled for Saturday, September 1st through Monday, September 3rd. Their plan is to complete work at their earliest opportunity this weekend, potentially complete by Sunday evening. However, they want Monday as a floater day just in case something comes up. The building back-up generator will be running during this time so there will be minimal lighting and only the red emergency outlets (mostly located in the office) will work. If you’re working over the weekend you should be able to make copies, but know that the internet will be down, so you won’t be able to print files from your laptop (unless you’re use a UBS drive with the copier). Also be aware if you have a mini-fridge in your classroom not to leave food in there that will spoil. And believe it or not, they were originally going to cut the power Friday morning, but I convinced them that was a bad idea (“Teachers wouldn’t mind a day off, right?” I believe is what was originally proposed to me.)
• Classified & Licensed Goals and Self Assessment – All staff, both classified and licensed, need to complete a self assessment before the end of September. Licensed staff need to complete their self assessment in TalentEd. Classified staff need to complete the Classified Employee Self Assessment form (PDF or DOC), but if you completed an end-of-year self assessment last school year, you do not need to do another one this fall, so really only new classified staff members need to complete the form and return it to me (or let me know if you completed the form at a prior school and I will contact that administrator).
• Monthly PBIS Focus: Safety – The September PBIS monthly focus is Safety, which all classroom teachers should take time review with students. Remember that you can use the PBIS/CSC Cheat Sheet, which matches our PBIS monthly themes with Caring School Community class meeting lessons. This is a nice way to tie the PBIS and CSC together!
• Artist in Residence Survey – Howard is again getting two artists in residence this year, thanks to The Eugene Rotary, EEF, and ArtSpark. This year they are requiring one artist to be first semester and one second semester. Classroom teachers, please complete the linked Artist in Residence Google Form and that way I can bring a proposal ahead of time to the September Staff Meeting for a decision. Please look at the Lane Arts Artist in Residence webpages for details on each artist and let me know if you have any questions. Survey responses due the Friday, Sept. 14th.
• PBIS Rules Review – The PBIS Team will be meeting later this week to decide how we want to do our rules review with students. The past two years all classrooms used the Recess Rules Slide Show (PDF and Google Slides) before the first recess. For your reference, inked here are last year’s PBIS Teacher Checklist, the PBIS Back-to-School Rules, and the PBIS Rules Matrix. Stay tuned for this year’s plan.
• Optional Tech Trainings Head-Count (AMX @2:00, iPads @3:00) – Let me know if you think you will be attending either of these trainings, so Peggy and Misty can get an idea of how many people will be coming. At 2:00 in the STEAM Room, Peggy Vega, our Technology Support Specialist, will review how to use the classroom AMX System (cord set-up, connecting laptops for video/sound, whiteboard interactivity, voice amplification, ENZO, etc.). At 3:00 in the STEAM Room, Misty Jackson from the Tech Department will review how to use the new full-size iPads with keyboard cases we are getting for 3rd-5th grade, although much of this information will also apply to the iPad Minis at grade K-2.
• UPDATED: In-Service Week Schedule – Most of this is the same, but we now have more details from downtown about Friday’s PD activities, which are included below.
August 28 (T) – Teachers report back and this is a protected planning day. I’ll have some breakfast goodies, coffee, and drinks in the Staff Room at 8:30 to welcome folks back and meet new staff members.
August 29 (W) – Classified staff report back this day and we’ll start the day with everyone in the cafeteria. Breakfast burritos will be available 7:30-8:00 for folks who placed orders and the all-staff Back-to-School Staff Meeting will begin at 8:00. We’ll go over some standard business items and will then move into our three main topics of the day. The first is an overview of the 4J Behavior Framework, which will apply to all staff and will be a year-long topic for licensed staff on Fridays. The next two topics are more teacher focused and will be around the Professional Learning Community (PLC) and the newly adopted social emotional curriculum, Second Step, which classified staff are welcome to, but not required to, stay for.
Later in the day at 2:00, Peggy (our Tech Support Specialist) will offer an optional training on how to use the classroom AMX System (cord set-up, connecting laptops for video/sound, whiteboard interactivity, voice amplification, ENZO, etc.). Any staff unfamiliar with these systems should attend and anyone else who’d like a refresher are welcome to join.
Following that tech training at 3:00, will be an optional iPad training on how to use the new full-size iPads with keyboard cases we are getting for 3rd-5th grade (see item below for more detail on that), which will be led by Misty Jackson.
August 30 (H) – The district Back-to-School Event at South Eugene High School is this morning, 8:30-10:30. Attendance is encouraged, but optional. Following that, there will be multiple required trainings for some licensed and classified staff (primarily specialists, such as PE, Music, Library, Counselors, Kindergarten, etc.), so look for emails from the folks running those sessions for details. I’ll share more information once I receive it.
UPDATED: August 31 (F) – All licensed classroom, Title 1, and SPED staff will attend a district Math/LearnZillion training from 8:00-11:45. See the linked August 31 Math PD Flyer for details, but here’s the short version. Doors open at 7:30 for sign-in and socializing, with a hard-start at 8:00 (so come early and carpooling is encouraged). Lunch and travel time will be 11:30-12:45. The second half of the day, 12:45-4:00, will be back here at Howard, in the cafeteria, for BOTH classified and licensed staff and is a continuation of the Behavior Framework, focusing on PBIS Tier 1 universal practices to support and improve student behavior. The first three modules are “Classroom Management 1 – Arrange Orderly Physical Environment,” “Classroom Management 2 – Define, Teach, Acknowledge Rules and Expectations,” and “Classroom Management 3 – Define, Teach Classroom Routines.” Part-time classified staff should adjust their hours this day in order to attend the PBIS training in the afternoon.
Some Math PD FAQs…
• What do I need to bring with me? Lots of resources will be shared digitally so please bring your computer fully charged!
• What time do we need to be there? Where do I go? We’ll start promptly at 8:00 so make sure you leave time to park and walk in. Breakfast snacks and coffee are available so grab that before you settle in. But remember we start at 8:00! The schedule is right here… (refer to schedule)
• I can’t log into LearnZillion still. Email 4jdesktop@4j.lane.edu or write your name, school, and grade on a sticky then put it on the parking lot at the training. Jaimee will check on it!
• I have a ton to do in my room. Why are we here? The sessions were designed based on teacher feedback from last year. Some options that have a more planning focus are “From Unit 0 to Unit 1” and Workshop 101. We get very few opportunities to share ideas and resources with peers.
• Any other questions… Wow – that’s a great question. Please make sure you get it down on a parking lot or into the follow-up feedback survey. Jaimee & the MTLs are great at responding!September 3 (M) – Labor Day, No School
September 4 (T) – I have a placeholder Staff Meeting from 8:00-10:00 scheduled this day if anything comes up that can’t wait until our first regular staff meeting. At 10:00, I’ve scheduled a Q&A Session for new staff members to meet with me in the office to answer any questions you might have. I can get busy durning in-service week and may not always be easy to find, so I’ve set this time aside to be available for new folks. Also, “Meet Your Teacher” will be from 1:00-2:00, when families can come see their classrooms, drop off supplies, and meet staff.
September 5 (W) – The big show begins! See the above items regarding first day procedures.
• REPEAT: Breakfast Burrito Orders Due 8/27 – Wednesday, August 29th, from 7:30-8:00 will be our All-Staff Breakfast Burrito Gathering in the cafeteria before the Staff Meeting at 8:00. If you’d like a burrito, please complete linked Breakfast Burrito Order Google Form by Monday, August 27th at 9:00. You’ll need to log onto your 4J Google Account to complete the form. At the meeting I’ll also bring some donuts and bagels and other breakfast goodies if burritos aren’t your thing.
• New Staff Items of Note – I’m still waiting for the district back-to-school policy memo before I send out the updated Howard Staff Handbook, but below are eight items of note for new staff, which also may also be good reminders for returning staff:
• Seesaw App – Howard has more teachers using Seesaw than any other school in 4J and we own a site license, so it is available to all teachers. If you’re not currently using it, I’d encourage you to give it a try. Teachers sign-up for free on the Seesaw website. Parents download the free app and get access to your class from a secure code you share. From there, students can upload videos, audio, photos (approved first by the teacher), and and families then get a personalized window into their child’s school day! Teachers also have a fast easy communication tool to your families, where you can quickly push out a message to all families, where it shows up on their phone like a text instead of an email, getting their attention right away.
• Friday Folders/School-Home Communication – We have a building-wide an agreement that all classrooms will send home information the same day (Fridays) in the cleverly named Friday Folders. This makes communication easier for families and for people needing to send home school wide information.
• How to Hang Things on Walls – If you want to hang anything on the walls or other surfaces, be sure to use either tape (but not duct tape, which leaves sticky residue), sticky tack, command hooks, or most anything that doesn’t poke a hole in the wall or will leave behind imperfections when they’re removed. If you have something heavy you want to hang, like a picture frame, let our lead custodian, Crystal, know and she’ll install a district approved wall-hanger.
• Building Google Calendar – At the bottom of my weekly announcements is a two week calendar and also a link to the Howard Building Google Calendar for the entire school year. If you use Google Calendars yourself, you can add the Howard Building Calendar to your own list of Google Calendars by clicking the calendar link in my blog and then clicking the +Google Calendar icon located at the bottom right of the calendar webpage. This will add the building calendar to your list of Google Calendars if you’re logged onto your Google account (whether that’s your personal account or your 4J Google account). You can also add this calendar to most any calendar app you might use. Let me or our TSS, Peggy, know if you would like any help with this.
• Student Username/Passwords and Other TeacherVUE Reports – If teachers need a reminder how to find your students’ usernames and passwords, linked here is a quicksheet on Printing Reports in TeacherVUE. There are several reports teachers can generate from TeacherVUE. For example: To see which students have permission restrictions. A list of student user names and passwords for testing. To print a class list, student/parent directory, health conditions, emergency contacts etc. To print labels to send mail home.
• Can it be Recycled? – As people are setting up their spaces and clearing things out, remember keep in mind changes to what can be recycled.
The following items will continue to be accepted in commingled recycling bins:
• Newspaper, ads and inserts, direct mail, magazines, and catalogues
• Flattened cardboard boxes
• Cereal, cracker, and shoe boxes (not refrigerated or frozen boxes!)
• Office paper
• Paperboard/cardboard egg-cartons
• Steel and aluminum cans (no lids)
• Certain plastic bottles and jugs will still be accepted: soda bottles, water bottles, milk jugs, and juice bottles (no lids)Items that will no longer be accepted:
• Plastic tubs
• Any plastic item that isn’t a bottle or jug
• Aseptic containers (such as for milk cartons, or shelf stable soy milk)
• Shredded paper
• Plastic bags, take-out food containers, plant pots, and lids of any kind should never be placed in commingled recycling binsAny items that are not clearly recyclable should be put in the trash—when in doubt, throw it out! See the Sanipac Waste Wizard to know exactly what is accepted and what it not.
• Putting in Tickets for Technology Help – As a reminder to staff, if you ever need assistance with anything technology related, you should send an email to 4jdesktop@4j.lane.edu or call x7777, but do not email Peggy directly. The reasons staff staff are asked to put in tickets are numerous, including but are not limited to:
• To get an accurate accounting of the workload for your schools
• To obtain statistics on the overall workload for all TSS
• To justify the existence of site-based TSS
• To get statistics on the type of requests coming in, so they can target training and other resources.
• To see historical data for devices and problems
• Because TSS assignments can change at any time
• To better allocate TSS staffing.This is important because a low number of tickets could indicate that a school doesn’t need as much tech support time as it is currently getting. In looking at current data, they believe this is because the staff at some schools may be emailing or talking directly to the TSS instead of putting in a ticket.
• Class Name Plate Template – Teachers, feel free to use the linked generic Classroom Name Plate Template if you want something to go outside your classroom door with minimal effort, but also feel free to design your own Pinterest-like sign.
• BEST Updates – ODE approved 4Js BEST Grant application, so BEST will once again return to Howard (Spring Creek’s program was moved to McCornack) and is funded for the next three years. We’re still hiring for a coordinator, but Bryan will return as the Academic Coordinator, which should give us some program continuity since he coordinatored the program for a majority of last year. BEST is scheduled to start on Wednesday, September 26th and if you’re interested, linked here the the BEST Calendar for the school year.
• easyCBM Release Days (K-1 Only) – Downtown is limiting which grade levels can access sub days to conduct easyCBM benchmark testing to only kindergarten and 1st grade. The logic of this is that these are the grade levels that have multiple tests that require 1:1 testing.
• Homework Policy Update – At the end of last school year the homework committee meet and we came up with the following guiding beliefs for our building-wide homework policy for this school year:
• All classes will send a weekly reading and/or math log of some sort. Teacher are welcome to come up with their own method of collecting this information, but we’ll make available some half-sheet templates teachers can use.
• Teachers may send games or other activities home for students to optionally do with their families.
• Classes may send worksheets home with all students, but may not have an expectation that students return the work.The main thing we DO NOT want is for students in one class to be getting something significantly different from another class or grade level. I have a letter regarding homework that I will send home with the September School Newsletter so families know this is a building-wide practice. I’ll send the letter first to the committee members to make sure it accurately captures what we decided.
• Howard Google Team Drive View-Only – I’ve changed staff access on the Howard Google Team Drive to “View Only,” which still allows you to view and to also download files to your desktop or Google Drive. I’ve learned this past year from being on a number of district admin Google Team Drives that it’s pretty easy for people to accidentally delete or change files without realizing it, so learning from those mistake, I’ve modified everyone’s access to view only. If you need edit/upload access, let me know and I’ll give it to you, or if you just want to add a file, send it to me and I can add it. Also, let me know if you are having trouble accessing the Team Drive.
• Second Step Pacing Guide – I’ll have additional information about Second Step, the new social emotional learning (SEL) and bully-proofing curriculum to supplement the Caring School Community program (formerly Caring for Kids), but linked here and also on the Howard Google Team Drive is the Second Step Year-Long Pacing Guide.
• NCU Practicum Student Placements – HR sent principals information on practicum students needs needing fall placements. There are students from NCU and Western. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll forward your name to HR.
• New SPED Referral Process – SSD is going to be implementing a new referral system for both School Psychologist and SLP’s this fall. Due to the shortage of psychologist and consultants and a need to tighten up process for us all, they are implementing a new process that can be run by data teams to ensure efficient and proper referral of students for evaluation. They would like to encourage the use of equitable practices and data based decision making when we are moving towards evaluation, and this new process will help SSD staff in being able to deliver just that. It is imperative that all schools are following these new procedures and using the new form so the psychs and the SLP’s are able to lead and direct our team when it is time to move forward with an evaluation. Linked here is the new 4J Special Education Referral Process. SSD will be going over this at a principals’ meeting next month, so I will have more information regarding the new process then.
• GoFundMe Not Allowed for Class Fundraising – Secretaries were told that staff are not allowed to use GoFundMe to fundraise for school activities since the money goes directly to the staff member and there is not the accountability piece compared with DonorsChoose.org where items are sent directly to the school. However, EEF has started a new Fundraising Partnership Program for parent groups and schools, one part of which is hosting online fundraisers on Network for Good (NFG). If you’re interested, see the above link.
• New Math Website TumbleMath – Misty Jackson shared with principals a new resource that is available for free until November 30th. The company that produces TumbleBooks now has TumbleMath. It includes lesson plans and quizzes that are aligned to common core standards. The linked email provides details for accessing the free trial.
• Teacher Appreciation with the Ducks! – The UO is holding two teacher appreciation football games on 9/8 and 9/15. Tickets will be discounted to $36 per seat for all school staff (both classified and licensed) as well as anyone you want to bring. Just visit the UO Ticket Order website and type in the promo code “2018TEACH’ to redeem your discount. See the flyer for details.
▪ Dry Marker Recycling – A former Howard teacher, Carol Pitetti, let me know about a free program I hadn’t heard of, ColorCycle by Crayola, who will recycle all brands of markers (including dry erase markers & highlighter) that have dried out, so I’ve signed-up our school and will put a box in the downstairs workroom for people to fill with any dead markers. Once it’s full I’ll slap on a label and send it off to Crayola at no cost to us!
• District Admin Updates – Joyce Smith-Johnson will be leaving Holt to join the SSD team as an administrator at the Fox Hollow campus. Dan Sterling (who I went to principal school with) will be the new principal at Holt, returning to our 4J staff after working as an administrator at Portland Public Schools, Lake Oswego School District, and most recently at Centennial Elementary in Springfield. Denisa Taylor is the new principal at Twin Oaks, coming from Chávez, where she has been principal for the past eleven years. Deirdre Pearson is the new Chávez principal, having worked as an administrator in Ashland and most recently in Bandon, where she served as both middle school principal and special education director.
• Setting the Tone for September – The latest issue of ASCD Express has some nice article on starting the year right. Students should love being in school. Students should feel safe and valued. Students should know we expect the best from them. These may be some of your hopes for students’ first impressions of you and your classroom. How do you establish these individual or schoolwide values in the first weeks of school? What helps you set the tone—from relationships to routines to policies—and sustain these values all year long?Articles include “What to Do in Week One,” “Four Core Organization Tips for Any Elementary Educator,” and “Stories Are All We Are.”
• Relationships Matter More Than Rules – I shared this last year, but I really liked the thesis of this Edutopia article on the importance of building positive relationships and creating positive community within the classroom at the start of the school year. Meaningful relationships matter for learning. The rules and policies you enforce are important for keeping a well-managed class, but rather than emphasizing control over your students, developing community and connection is a surefire ingredient for a good school year for all. Try the strategies in the above linked article to begin forging strong relationships.
