January 21, 2011, February 7, 2011 & May 17, 2011

We are excited to offer the AVID Elementary Training Days to your teachers at OSS sites who work with 4th and 5th graders. The Operation Student Success (OSS) grant will fund the cost of substitute teachers so your teachers can be released to attend.

This training is for all Grade 4 and 5 teachers at OSS school sites. There are three Elementary AVID Training Days which are essentially to the implementation of AVID.  Teachers should plan to attend all three training days.

In addition to the Grade 4 and 5 teachers, please invite any support teachers, e.g. Education Specialists, EL Coordinators, etc., who work with your 4th and 5th graders.  If you have any questions about whom to invite or any other aspects of the training, please contact Kimberly Shapazian, Grant Coordinator, kshapazian@sandi.net

OSS elementary sites are in the process of starting their after-school Math tutoring programs.  Thank you for all your hard work in getting the tutoring program implemented at your site.

For the purposes of grant documentation and evaluation, we must record and report upon the number of students served, whether or not the student is from a military connected family, and the amount of time served.  Please contact the grant coordinator if you need a copy of the log.  This is a daily log, so each teacher should complete and sign one log for each day of OSS grant-funded tutoring.
