OLL Elementary School Communication

We are entering the time of year to plan for the re-ordering of instructional materials for the 2022-2023.  Schools are responsible for placing the order for their individual sites. To ensure consistent processes across the district OLL will be hosting workshops to review the order timeline and process.  This workshop is for school administrators and school bookkeepers.   Topics covered:

• Adoption/procurement template purpose
• Consumable reorder timeline and guidance

The 2^nd school choice window which will be open from April 11th through April 18th.  Please see the link below for a list of schools and programs that will be advertised in the April school choice window. This was determined based on either the school’s frozen status for regular school choice or programmatic capacity based on the seats remaining from the January window.  We plan to update the website next week so that families know what will be advertised.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to @Francesca Howard with any questions.

April is National Financial Literacy Month which is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of financial literacy and teach our students how to establish and maintain healthy financial habits. To celebrate the month and encourage our students to be financially smart citizens in our communities, Pasco County Schools, in partnership with our valued community partners will offer virtual experiences and opportunities throughout the month. These events are designed to help parents/guardians, employees, community members and students with financial planning matters and getting more information for starting a financially successful future. Fun facts and resources will pop up throughout the month in myLearning to encourage Money Matter Mondays.

Teachers will also have the opportunity to sign up for virtual learning opportunities for themselves, as well as to have the opportunity to sign their classes up for guest speakers that will support the learning of the month.

To help celebrate the month with lessons, tasks, texts and ideas to spark discussion, please visit our district Financial Literacy webpage.

We wanted to thank you for your stakeholder input around the coaching contract extension.  At this time, the Superintendent Staff has determined that there will not be a coaching contract change for the 2022-23 school year.  Considerations included the inability to identify recurring funds for the extension from the general fund.  It is possible that the plan will be considered in the future when those funds can be secured.  In the upcoming school year, instructional coaches will work a 196-day contract.

We are sharing a link to our Coaching SMORE.  This is one of the key structures we use to communicate with our stakeholders.  In the SMORE, folks can find links to our  Instructional Coaching Dates 2021-2022.docx, meeting information and links for upcoming events, highlights on best practices around equity, data usage & display, and other key coaching skills.  We also offer nice-to-know information around professional development opportunities and state updates.

Our last monthly content coaching meetings are coming up at the end of this month.  We are offering live sessions at the district office in many cases in hopes of besting Zoom fatigue and to inspire connection and engagement.  Moving forward, we are working on plans to limit the number of times a coach is pulled from your building.  We will stack the ELA and Math content days onto the same day so that folks that wish to attend both will only be out of the building one time.

Summer Coaching Academy:

The Summer Coaching Academy is designed for both coaches and administrators to work together around coaching in your building.
