Week of April 5th

 

PBiS/Trauma Informed Focus of the Month Be Responsible/Mastery

• Matrix Refresher Activity

• Special Event: TBD

• Quarterly Field Trip

"Responsible" activities can be found here. Matrixes can be found in the PBiS/Trauma-Informed shared Folder. Remember that "Mastery" does not mean a student has mastered a skill per se, but it means they can display the skill with success, and build on it.

IEP Reminders

The special education department is now pulling IEP's at random to conduct compliance checks. We have had some reoccurring themes that need to be addressed. Please check your IEP's for the following, to be sure they are compliant (it may be good to have a friend look them over as well):

• Be sure that all required signatures are on the IEP prior to handing it in to Amy
• Completed IEP's should be provided to Amy no later than 3 days after the IEP has convened.
• The PLAAFP should always include data that is not older than a year, as well as progress (or lack there of) toward current goals and objectives.
• Any item stated in the "resulting needs" portion of the PLAAFP that is an accomodation, must be listed on the Supplementary Aides and Services page. Additionally, all accommodations listed must also be in a a "resulting needs" area of the PLAAFP.
• We only fill in portions of the PLAAFP that are deficit areas for the students, based on current data.

Calendar Reminder

If you are scheduling a meeting, whether it be a PIRM, staffing, behavior review, IEP, etc..., please look at the Beacon IEP calendar first. If there is already a meeting scheduled during that time, please do not schedule another meeting at the same time. The point of this calendar is that we don't have overlapping meetings that we may not be able to provide coverage for. As you all know, we don't have an endless supply of subs, and it can be very difficult to provide coverage when we have several meetings scheduled for the same time period. Additionally, when entering meeting on the calendar, PLEASE include staff names so I know who requires coverage. Your help with this is appreciated.

Classroom Coverage

If you have a meeting and a sub doesn't show up to your room or is not on the schedule, please contact the office immediately. Only para's who have a sub permit on file are able to sub in classrooms and get paid. If your para does not have a sub permit, they are not permitted to sub at all.
