Bulldog Brief
We are the Wylie Way! 4/25/16
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Enjoy!
Thank you!
Being Present. . . .
So. . . if you have been with me awhile, you know that I am super passionate about "being present" for our students. This includes all things from being at the door when they arrive in the morning, to listening to their needs/questions/stories/worries/celebrations/fears/this list could go on and on :), to saying we will see you in the morning each afternoon. As a campus family, we do a great job showing the kids they are our focus. Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed we have let the morning expectation of being at our door at 7:20 slide. For example, one day last week, I walked each hall and could only count 6 total teachers throughout the building at their door by 7:23. SOOOO . . . I have a challenge for you as a Collective Group! If we can have 85% (that is all but one on each hall because let's face it - sometimes things happen) at their doors by 7:20 each morning for the next 2 1/2 weeks, we can wear jeans for the final 2 1/2 weeks. Rally the troops folks - let's do this for our kids!
PLCs this week. . .
K-2 - We are meeting on Tuesday, 3/3, to finish our YAG feedback and look at lesson planner.
3-4 - Final plans for STAAR, pep rally, and team needs. :)
Bathrooms by 3rd and 4th grade
Make up day. .
