Hi all,
Hectic
time for all of us… I'm hoping this update can review the tasks and
deadlines. Thanks for your promptness,
flexibility and patience. There is a lot
of information below, please contact me if I can assist or clarify. I've arranged the items below according to
the due date- so work from the top of the list.
Enjoy your extended weekend, it is much deserved!

===================================
Visiting Artist Information Due Today! Thursday, 4-17-03
===================================
All
school's "Visiting Artist" information is due to the Curriculum
Office by the end of the day today. I
will be representing our District at a meeting next week to finalize the
visiting artist schedule and I need to have your school's information. Thanks for your help in getting this information
in on time.
===================================
ISAT Materials Due To The Warehouse By Tuesday 4-22-03 at 3:00pm
===================================
All ISAT
materials are due to the warehouse on Tuesday.
Please make sure to follow the packaging instructions exactly as they
are written. Your diligence in this task
is most appreciated. Every year the ISAT
office contacts us to locate missing ISAT information. Let's try to avoid that hassle if we can.
===================================
Review "End of Year" Bulletin For Accuracy by
Wednesday, 4-23-03
===================================
A DRAFT
of the end of year bulletin is online at
http://curriculum.risd41.org/documents/Bible_for_03-04.doc . Please review the following pages for
accuracy (regarding your school); 2,10,13,14, and 16. Email me any changes by next Wednesday. After next Wednesday, we will publish, post
and print a few copies for each school.
Thanks for taking the time to verify its accuracy. Please do not print or circulate copies of
this document as it is only a draft at this point.
===================================
ISAT School Demographic (Blue Sheets) Information Due By
Thursday, April 24th
===================================
Please
send me your school's demographic sheet- 2003 by Thursday, April 24th. (This was the white folder of information
that was given out at the last principal's meeting) When calculating this data, be sure to
include all of your home school students (including those students who are
taking ISAT tests at other schools). You
will not fill out this sheet on behalf of other schools and they will not fill
out this sheet on your behalf. Each
school will complete 1 sheet per grade level for all the home school kids (even
if they are in programs at other schools).
Please note that this practice is different than how the brown ISAT
"school identification sheets" are completed. Please make a copy of the information and
send me the complete folder. Contact me
if you have any questions.
===================================
Koalaty Kid Training This Summer- Need Names by April 25th
===================================
I (and a few of the Koalaty Kid Facilitators) will be conducting a
5 day Koalaty Kid training series for teachers who have not yet had the
training. The training is scheduled
primarily for Lincoln staff, however, I would like to invite all others to join
us. Please let me know if you have any
staff who would like to participate in this training. There is not another full 5 day training
session scheduled for next school year- so please take advantage of this
opportunity.
Koalaty Kid 5 Day Training Schedule
All training will be conducted in Rock Island (location to be
announced). The Office of Instruction
and School Improvement will cover the cost of training, including materials,
food and pay for teachers.

ROE- School Improvement Internal Review Checklist- Due Friday
5-2-03
===================================
Please
complete your SIP checklist from the ROE that was given to you at the last
Principal meeting. Please keep a copy to
include with your SIP in the fall. This
form should be sent to me directly. I
will gather them together and send them all to the ROE.
===================================
ROE- SIP Application For Support Mini Grants Due (Send Directly
To ROE)
===================================
$500.00
available to schools for SIP writing.
The grant application is simple (1 page). All schools are working on the new template
sections 2 and 4 for next year and this would be a great opportunity to pay
teachers during the summer. These
applications can be sent directly to the ROE Attn: Jack Stoudt.
The forms do not need to be sent to me.
