Rationale:
Continuous Improvement:
The Admim. Team is working to prioritize/plan Professional Development for the 22-23 school year, being very intentional that teachers don't become overwhelmed or introduced to something new. Professional Development days will allow time for teachers to work in their rooms and/or collaborate with colleagues. Our priority is to get better at what we already are doing and have available. Special Education: Planning summer services for children eligible for Early Intervention (Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Language Therapy). Special Education staff are attending a variety of training opportunities during the summer. Several Special Education reports are due over the summer: IDEA Grant, Maintenance of Effort, Early Childhood GOLD -OSEP, Proportionate Share Bright Arrows/Sixpence: April Family Engagement/Socialization: Gardening and Planting. Families were given a book, flowers to plan, and a developmentally appropriate gardening kit. Ten families participated. Working to plan Engagement Activities over the summer (turnout is typically lower). Ideas include: swim and sun safety, and a family picnic. Three Sixpence eligible children will age out in August. Childcare will be closed for two weeks in June to allow for cleaning and staff training. |
