[TNS-list] Dyanthe's Weekly Letter: 3.5.18

[Dyanthe Spielberg]

*Dear Neighborhood School Families,As I mentioned previously, our school
recently participated in a Department of Education (DOE) 2-day evaluative
process called the Quality Review
<http://schools.nyc.gov/Accountability/tools/review/SchoolResources/Overview/default.htm>.
 Schools are rated underdeveloped, developing, proficient or well developed
on 10 indicators.  I am so proud of our school!  Not because of our high
ratings, but because it was absolutely clear to the reviewer how much staff
and families care about our school.  We earned 7 well develops and 3
proficients.  Family conferences are next week!  Please be sure to sign-up
for a conference time with your child’s teacher.  Wednesday is late night
conferences and Thursday is a DOE half-day for conferences.  If you are
having any trouble signing up for a conference, please call the school
office and we will help coordinate a time for you. Please complete your
Department of Education (DOE) Parent Survey.  The DOE survey gathers
information about your overall satisfaction with our school and the results
are published and used to determine our official rating. Completion rates
are also important as they reflect the level of parent involvement to the
DOE.  Each student received a green envelope containing a hard copy of the
survey to fill out along with postage-paid envelope.  You can also complete
the survey online

 Thank you!Mark your calendars: - Parent’s of Unique Kids Support Group
meets Tuesday morning at drop-off in Room 301.  This is a support group for
parents and caretakers; it is an opportunity to share experiences, defeats,
and strategies with each other. - The Wellness Committee meets Tuesday at
drop-off in the PTA Room.- My Morning Hour is Wednesday morning in the PTA
Room.  I will host an hour about reading development.  What does it look
like?  What kind of books do children read when learning to read?  How do
we identify struggling readers at TNS?  - I hope that you will join me
between 6 - 10 p.m. for the TNS Spring Auction this Thursday at the Manny
Cantor Center (197 East Broadway).  Even if you can’t make the Spring
Auction Event, you can still get some great deals (and support TNS) at the
online auction. Check it out: http://tnsny.org/auction.
<http://tnsny.org/auction>- Friday is a PD half-day.  Dismissal is at
11:45AM.  Warmly,Dyanthe*
