Updates -- 27 March 2015

Hello everyone,

Happy pay-day Friday!

Spring certainly has sprung.

Hope you're able to get out and enjoy it this weekend.  Most of the creeks and arroyos flowing off the mountain were running last weekend... here's hoping they still are tomorrow.  It's always a treat to get your feet wet when you're out in the woods around here.

A big BRAVO to all of our K-2 students and teachers for three excellent performances at Coconino High School this week.  It was especially wonderful to hear our second grade players described as the most-talented and capable young musicians Dr. Hallberg has taught in her 15 years teaching Suzuki at Marshall.

Connect To School Day
As we did in the fall, I'd like to ask you to complete the form below to reflect on the APTT-inspired Connect To School Day we held on 11 March.

We will meet together as a faculty on Thursday morning, 09 April at 7:45, to review the data from this survey and compare it to the feedback you provided on the survey that was in the Blue Note back on 12 September.

At the conclusion of our meeting on the 9th I'd like us to determine whether-or-not and if-so-how to plan to integrate Connect To School APTT-style conferences at Marshall School in the future.




AzMERIT Stuff
Testing season is right around the corner.  I know many of your CT groups have been spending time this week reviewing sample test items and proctoring/administration directions as well.

We will meet together as a third-fifth grade faculty this afternoon, Friday 26 March, at 1:00 to talk a bit more about the test, test dates, and sundry other AzMERIT-related things.

I will have color AzMERIT brochures for you to distribute to your classes printed by early next week.  Each brochure lists your specific dates for testing to ensure your parents are well informed and extra-specially-ready to send their kids to school on those dates.

Please be sure to arrange to schedule some time with your grade-level's iPad cart in the next week or two to dry-run using these devices appropriately and effectively with your students.

Girls On The Run
Girls on the Run needs a site liaison at Marshall to help coordinate logistics (times, practice space, etc.), coaches, and recruitment at our school. If you think you might be a good candidate for this role at Marshall, Michele Thomas at North Country Healthcare would love to hear from you so we can make sure Girls on the Run is offered at Marshall this year.
