Birthday Celebrations

We like our children to share birthday celebrations with their

classmates!

Due to the “Wellness Policy” and to protect children with

allergies, please send a non-food item only if you want to

provide a treat. If you need suggestions, I would be happy to

help you.

We can celebrate half birthday for those who have summer

birthdays.

Please do not send birthday invitations to school unless

there is one for every child of that gender or the entire

class. We don’t want any hurt feelings.

2018-2019 Tier 2 Focus

North Allegheny Implementation Plan2018-2019 School Year

Focus of Year 2:

- Continue to use AIMSweb Plus as our universal screener.

- Continue to differentiate our core reading instruction

- In grades K-5, implement a differentiated/flexible reading period 4 days a week (What I Need Period “WIN Period”)

- During this 45 minute (grades 2-5) can receive enrichment, reinforcement and remediation on ELA skills. Groups will be flexible and based upon multiple forms of data. During this time the reading specialists, interventionists, GOAL and other related supports teachers will be working with the homeroom teachers to support students in giving them whatever they need to demonstrate mastery and growth.

As we embark on our 2ND year of MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems

of Support), we will have a dedicated “What I Need”

(WIN) period, 4x/week, for enrichment, reinforcement, and

remediation of skills.

These flexible groups include a variety of grade level teachers

and other interventionists. We will continue to use our

AIMSWeb+ screener to identify skill areas. We are excited to

help all students grow through WIN!
