Domains on the Report Card and in the Gradebook, Not Individual Standards
Laura sent out an email on August 15th letting teachers know that standards will not be part of the gradebook and report card.  This is not a change for Middle School but is a change for Elementary. This year standards will not be on the report card or gradebook. Teachers will not need to scroll through the standards.  We do realize that many teachers want to give parents more description than what the domains provide, but we also know that providing too much information like individual standards is not always helpful to communicate progress to parents.  This is just one example of something we will be discussing as part of the Assessment, Feedback, and Grading Committee.

Social Media
Brad Gufstason does a great job sharing why his staff uses social media.  This is a video you can share with your staff on why to use social media.



 RTA Dates
From RTA: We agreed that the dates when the RTA E-board meets without the council would be okay for the DO to schedule trainings that don't involve those members. The other date (council and combined meetings) would have no trainings or mandatory meetings scheduled and the other date is held open for all Site reps to attend.


9/ 12 Eboard, 9/26 Council

10/10 Eboard, 10/24 Council

11/28 Combined (Eboard and Council)

12/12 Eboard

1/9 Eboard, 1/23 Council

2/13 Eboard, 2/27 Council

3/13 Combined

4/10 Eboard, 4/24 Council

5/8 Combined, MAY 24 RTA RETIREMENT DINNER

SPSA: Technology purchases
It is time to start updating your SPSA Goals, Actions, Annual Program Evaluation and Budget. Many of you are considering purchasing technology out of your site’s budget. Remember that if you purchase technology out of your LCFF Supplemental budget you must be able to speak to how the technology that is being purchased directly relates to improved and increased services for subgroup students. This must be spelled out clearly in your “Actions” Section in your School Improvement Goals. For example, it is not enough to write “purchase Apple TV, Ipad and Large TV monitor for Kindergarten Teachers”. Instead you could write, “ Apple TV, Ipad and Large TV monitors will be purchased so that English Learners and low income students can more easily access and interact with the state standards”.

Having fun at the ReCreat Junk 2 Genius Challenge.

This is something helpful to keep in hand for families in need not only during the holidays, but all year long. LiveScan Update The Roseville PD is no longer doing live scans for fingerprinting. Please refer parents to other resources. Fire Marshall Inspection Follow-up was completed with the fire inspector to clarify what each school site needs to have posted. Please review the following and make sure your site is ready to go. In the front office/in safety plan binder- easy to access: - Post the telephone number for the fire department. - List of who does what during a fire emergency. In each room by the door: - Post an evacuation map. - Instructions for what to do in an emergency (how do you account for kids, communicate, etc).

BUSINESS SERVICES Assemblies Involving Animals If you are hosting an assembly at your site that involves animals you may need to have parents sign the SIG Activities Waiver. All assemblies that involve animals on campus should be communicated to parents before the event. This can be done through an email, newsletter, blog, etc. If your students WILL be touching the animals, parents must fill out the SIG Activities Waiver. If your students will NOT be touching animals and will only be looking at the animals from a distance, you do not need to have parents fill out the waiver. Contact Amy Banks or Schelli Landreth with questions. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LCFF Funds If you are placing any orders using LCFF money, here is a helpful resource to look at when determining if LCFF can be used. When in doubt, always reach out to your coach or Rachael. This is not an exhaustive list, but it provides examples. If it’s anything that involves paying people, please make sure to talk to Personnel befo
