 * Friday Treats:** Cindi Byrnes – Friday, September 9 (Thank You!!)

 * Elementary Staff Meeting - September 9, at 7:30 in the Elementary Library.**

Next week, the AEA will do the first round of IPI walkthroughs. During our Administrative PLC we discussed learning targets posted in classrooms. Not all classrooms are posting learning targets, so next week the expectation would be to have learning targets posted in all classrooms. We discussed what learning targets should look like. As we looked at a variety of learning targets, we noticed that the ones that were written as questions seemed to create a higher level response in students. Try writing your learning targets as questions and let me know if this format is more engaging for students. This will be good topic of discussion at our next staff meeting.

The bus drivers have requested that staff park in designated parking spots. The buses need a lot room to turn around.

Please make sure that all computer carts are put back in the Elementary Conference room at the end of the day. You also need to make sure that the carts are plugged in, so that they will be ready for the next day.
