January is a busy month, and we value your time! We realize that we have double-booked two important events on Tuesday, January 19th, and we have some solutions that we hope will bring some peace to the upcoming busy days.
At 5:30 pm on 1/19, there is a family information meeting for students who are rising to new schools and/or services in the JSCEE Auditorium. At 7:00 pm on 1/19, there is a Special Education PTSA general meeting at Roosevelt High School.
Here are our solutions:
1. On Tuesday, January 19th, families who would like their specific questions answered may come prior to the formal presentation, from 5-5:30.
3. An additional informational meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21, at 5:30, for anyfamilies who wish to attend. This meeting will be in room 3606 of the JSCEE.
2. The formal informational presentation will conclude by 6:15 sharp, and families will be reminded of and/or excused to attend the PTSA meeting at Roosevelt. (Traffic can be tricky at this time of day, but 45 minutes should work!)
3. An additional informational meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21, at 5:30, for anyfamilies who wish to attend. This meeting will be in room 3606 of the JSCEE.
If you have a 5th grader, please plan to attend the 5th to 6th grade riser meeting on March 2nd from 6-8 pm in the JSCEE Auditorium.
And finally, here's an image from Aki Kurose Middle School, where students are learning to be powerful readers in an inclusive setting.
The teaching point states:
"Good readers monitor their inner voices by questioning what is happening in the text . . ."
Students were reading silently with reading journals open, prepared to "turn and talk" and then write their questions.
Thank you Aki teachers!
