Dear Members of the MHA PS 65x Community:

 

Please submit your December – Winter Break Student Packets to Ms. Gonzalez for approval; once approved, please submit to Ms. Myrna for copying.  The packets should be handed to the children by Wednesday, December 18th.  Additionally, please give Mr. Morales and Ms. Jackie a courtesy copy of the packets for parents.

 

Please note that common planning this week will be with Ms. DeMichele in room 501.

 

Thank you for participating in the VNSNY and NYU’s TST (Trauma Systems Therapy) focus group workshop on Friday.  The informational session is to help tailor our partnership to meet our community’s needs and build on what is working well. 

Reminders:

·         Teachers attending workshops out of the building are to email the grade facilitator, Ms. Gonzalez and Me their lesson plan for the substitute teacher, by 3 p.m. the day before the date of the workshop.  Additionally, log on to Sub Central and order a sub-teacher ASAP.

·         Students will be allowed into the auditorium approximately 7:55 a.m. 

·         Teachers are to meet their students in the auditorium by 8:00 a.m.

·         Please continue to discuss the PBIS matrix in all of the classes (including Enrichment classes) to ensure the safety of all MHA members

·         Technology Prep periods and Music (Mr. Chen) Prep periods will be conducted in the classrooms (Push-In). 

·         Administrative class walk-throughs will continue this month; as to not interrupt the lesson, please have your lesson plan available for our review.  Please refer to the Teacher Resource Page at the MHA website for Lesson Plan Template created with the Common Core and Danielson Framework components/expectations.

·         Teachers that have Breakfast in the Classroom and Fresh Fruit:  Please do not return or throw out any of the food.  Instead, please send the extra food to Ms. Jackie in the main office (ext 2053).  The carry bag and tray must stay inside the classroom until the Cafeteria Designee arrives and requests the bag or tray.

·         Please be sure to notify both Ms. T. Rivera and Mr. Adler of any students that are on your roster but have not attended school or with more than two (2) days of absences.  Additionally, please ensure that you are in possession of the cumulative folder of each child that is present in your classroom.
