Invitation to Attend Math Co-Teaching Information and Showcase
Several of your colleagues have been working hard this year to develop best practices around Co-Teaching in Math instruction. We would like to invite you to attend a Co-Teaching information discussion for administrators on April 20, from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m., District Office Room 129.
If you are considering co-teaching for the coming school year, or in the near future, we invite you to attend and learn from administrators and staff who have already implemented co-teaching. During this meeting we will share feedback we have gathered from teachers, identifying what works and what doesn’t, and have open discussion about how to best move forward.
In conjunction with this, we will hold a co-teaching showcase that morning from 8:00-11:00 a.m., District Office Room 129, and invite you to attend to hear from the teachers about their experiences with co-teaching. You are welcome to come to all or part of this session.

Middle School to High School Transition for Self-Contained Support Classrooms
In order to support the transition of students in Middle School Self-Contained Support Classrooms (SCSC) to High School, the Special Education Department is providing an opportunity for the Middle School SCSC teachers to meet with the High School Special Education Team Leaders. Since most of the students will be attending their boundary high school, it is helpful for the current SCSC teacher to provide information on the needs of the student to create an appropriate high school class schedule as well as know the necessary accommodations for the student to be successful. Middle school teachers need to bring a copy of the current IEP, Evaluation Results Summary, Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan, health care plan and a copy of the classes the students have completed or have in progress for high school credit. In order to maintain the schedule, it is imperative that teachers are prepared to provide a brief summary of the student’s needs. Half-day substitutes will be provided through budget code 1292 for those that need half-day coverage. Teachers may also arrange for para educator coverage if this meets with principal approval. Special educators must make their own substitute arrangements. The transition meeting is scheduled for Friday, February 10th at the District Office in room 129. High School team leaders and severe-endorsed teachers will need to be present from 7:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Please see the attached schedule for Middle School meeting times. Attendance is at the discretion of the building principal.
