WOW to the ESOL team… In your absence this week, I am able to see the difference you make in the lives of the students we share. I will never take you for granted, you make a big impact on our kids. Thanks!--Shelly Gotsch

WOW to 2 Hawks that stopped and made sure I was OK after a fender bender on Monday. And one took my son to school. Thanks Kristin and Cheryl G.--Deb
WOW to Ms. Barth for taking the time to do a class meeting after a big recess problem occurred. She really took the time to reinforce recess expectations and make sure the kids understood the impact of their actions. She also made sure relationships were repaired and parents were in the loop about conversations that can be had at home. She had the perfect mashup of Mr. Rogers and General Patton.--Tracy
WOW to Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Reagan and Mrs. Murphy for getting 48 or so students registered for Middle school in one day with technology issues! Impressive task ladies!--Tracy
WOW to Ms. Cuneo for always having time to collaborate with me. I don’t always come at the most convenient times and knowing that I am not always here or available, she makes a point to make time for some necessary student chats.--Tracy
WOW to Mrs. Regan for finding creative ways to communicate with a student who is painfully shy and quiet. They share a special bond that Mrs. Regan formed by simply meeting the student where she was/is and playing on her interests and strengths. Ms. Regan goes the extra mile to keep the relationship positive and doesn’t push the student to speak out or be someone she isn’t. Ms. Regan respects her for who she is and I know it means the world to this student.-Tracy

Master Schedule
As you know last year we made a building decision regarding our master schedule and how we would set it in the future. I am providing you this information now because the decision we made last year may have to change based on the district asking us to help our neighboring school. I will keep you posted on how the schedule to have our special area teachers travel will impact our master schedule.
The schedule changes due to the need to have teachers travel will also cause a change in the duty schedule for next year.
