  Elementary Principal Report

  Jennifer Rich provided the following information to the board:

  Teachers participated in PD on Friday, August 19 and Monday, August 22.

  Susan Wilson gave each student in the elementary baseline testing in math using a new program called Frontline. This is replacing our Accidence Math that we didn’t find to give us meaningful data. She has started pushing in and pulling students that were identified to need some extra support.

  Paige Smith also gave each student the Accidence Reading Assessments. From this information and teach input, students are being pulled to get extra help in reading and sometimes she pushes in to help with reading or language in the classroom.

  The Sped. Team has met monthly team meeting and several IEP meetings with parents.

  PAT started off the year with a parent café on Friday, September 9 at the Shelbyville Park. Children and tehri caregivers from North Shelby and South Shelby were invited to participate. Kelly McEwen and Mendy Schaffer planned activities for the children and caregivers to do together. This also gives those stay-at-home moms a chance to have some adult communication. Kelly provided snacks and a story time at the end of the morning. NS and SS work together to have a joint PAT program through the state.

  While going into classrooms, I have seen teachers doing some great things to get the year started out right. I’ve seen some team building, class building and some cooperative learning strategies being implemented. This is great to since our PD focus this year is using Kagan Cooperative Learning strategies in our classrooms to help with behavior issues.
