Director Tidbits 12/3
Equipping Directors in the South Sound
2017-2018 is coming!!
1. Please send out a reminder to your families that registration starts in January. (DLG p.27, 1.2.2.1, also on Application Paperwork.) Application Paperwork is usually out in late December. Tell interested families that they can submit their Application after February 1. (I recommend that you consider your first day of Community in January as the first application date, and the first Community day in February for new family).
2. Fill out the Recontracting Questionaire so we can begin to plan for contracting needs.
3. Publicize in your community the need for leadership - FND or ESS tutors, Challenge Directors. Personally approach those that you think would be a good fit. For Directors, give them my contact information and I can take it from there. For F/E tutors, consider how and when you will be contracting tutors.
RECONTRACTING
Expect an email from me in the next day or so.

DLG Highlight: Conflict Resolution
Here are a few highlights:
- Face-to-face and voice-to-voice are our primary means of communication. (p.20)
- Conflict, progress or performance issues are handled in person. (p.21)
- Your Team Leader is there to support you. Report any issues you are having to your Team Leader. (p.21)
- P E R P L: Refrain from putting any information that is Personal, Explosive, Religious, Performance related or a Legal issue into an e-mail (or text). (p.21)
- Directors support one another’s programs and leadership. (p.22)
- If conflict is not resolved after the first conversation/meeting, make your Team Leader aware of the incident. (p.23)
Foundations & Essentials: Review Party!!!
FE familes are usually more than ready for a break after the first 12 weeks. They may or may not continue to do any school during the break.
Consider encouraging families to continue a little review by sending out a Review Party Invitation! Ask a few moms to help and plan a potluck or pizza party or something and do a review event! This is also a great way to build confidence for Memory Master.
You can do as simple or elaborate as you want.
- A carnival style with simple games as they review a particular subject (have the moms come up with the games
- Create stations for each subject and print a passport (Here is the one I used) that the students go around and get stamps or stickers or marks to indicate that they tried for it.

My greatest desire is to build strong communities that empower parents, encourage students, and help families know God and Make him known! I will do my part to reach out to you to offer support, training, and resources, but I hope you will come to me for support and encouragement as well.
