- Kindergarten Screening:
- April 25th: English, April 26th Spanish
- Please be aware that visitors will be on campus. Please strive to be as professional as possible, as we want these visitors to want to spread a good word about Bolton.
- Tone and atmosphere:
- Please make sure that you are mindful of how you handle discipline in the hallway, as this is a public place for our students and visitors.
- How are PRT’s showing progress with 3-5 students?
- This is will be indicated from EOQ scores.
- What is each grade level with the “Read to Feed?”
- Please email Mrs. Mahrle which animal your class is planning on purchasing. Please mail your money to the Read to Feed Program using the envelopes that were sent.
- Monies for this fundraiser are due to Bolton on Thursday, please remind your students.
- What are some ways that we can make this program better for next year:
- Move to the beginning of the year.
- Have a petting zoo at the Fall Festival of all the animals that we could purchase.
- Have Theo Helms videotape the kick-off and show it on Cable Two channel.
- Educate parents more about the concept of the program.
- Have a school wide kick-off with all grades involved instead of doing a grade level kick-off.
- Have grade level bulletin boards to report weekly which animals have been purchased.
- Extending the Read to Feed program for a longer period of time so that the students can purchase more animals.
- Reviewing Goals Two and Three of the SIP.
- One modification to Goal Two to make sure that we have started to implement 8 standards of mathematical practice. Please start to use these if you haven’t. This is something that you have been exposed to through CCES training.
- Again, we agreed that the Weekly is a good tool to discuss classroom walk-throughs from a grade-level stand point. Administration will start to add a section for what they are seeing during walk-throughs.
- If your website is not updated, please do so. Remember, that there are a lot of families that have to move to the Winston area due to our hospitals (nurse/doctor positions). They are using websites to “shop” for schools. Please make them want to attend Bolton based on our websites!
