OLL Elementary School Communication

As a district, we have subscribed annually to Bookshelf.  This has provided all students with unlimited, simultaneous access to any text in the collections, Yellow through Purple.  This year, we have decided to provide each school with choice as to whether you want to continue your Bookshelf Subscription or opt out and receive a proportionate distribution ($4.00 per student) for subscribing to authentic eLibraries.

Please take a few moments to complete the attached form to provide input on what you want for your school.

Please contact Courtney Lough if you have any questions or need any support with the decision making process.

The summer sessions for ELA & Math Aspiring Content Courses will open for registration on May 1st through May 31st.  These 2 courses are designed to support instructional staff who desire to become coaches and need more understanding around instructional shifts, Core Actions, and the overall Instructional Practice guide.  The courses are self paced with a facilitator monitoring progress to answer questions, provide feedback, etc.

We are looking forward to the fifth annual TEDxPascoCountySchools event this Saturday, May 4^th at the Center for the Arts at River Ridge!  Please come out and support each school’s student speaker and hear the different ways that they are discussing Triumph and Tragedy in their TEDx talk.  As a reminder, this is not a competitive event, but rather an opportunity for us to come together as a school district to recognize and amplify student voices.  Please see the attached invitation for more details and email Rachel Hatten with any questions.  We hope to see you there!
