Staff Stuff
January ends
What a month!
Dr. Cruz was here on Thursday morning (just in case you forgot;). He was terrific with leadership group and in his talk with the kids. His message was spot on and hit the college career focus. Each of the kids got a business card with their year of graduation on it. It was quite cool. After the 35 minute talk, he toured PK3 and met the Teacher of the Year and how inclusion works in her room. He was headed to the Ewing to see AVID but got distracted by the helicopters, motorcycles, horses and SWAT. He was very impressed with the school, the art work, our No Place for Hate work posted. He said the school had a nice feel to it. Thanks everyone for your help in getting ready for his visit.
Nicole helped parents with their focus on college readiness on Wednesday. A college recruiter from Iowa State talked to parents about how to start thinking about college, not just finances/costs, but scholarships, applications, etc.
Commitment forms: Marisa sent an email Friday with the information about the districts "commitment forms" to help determine who will be returning to Boone next year. It is critical we get as many back as possible. It helps with projects and staffing. Of course, 5th you don't need to do this. Please provide as many incentives as possible to get 100% back. Please send emails to those families who don't get hem back to you quickly to get them back in.
Questions about CLI on the calendar: You might see CLI on the on line calendar with your name on it. It is not a separate meeting with anyone just Ruthie. She asked we put them on the calendar to help with reminders.
We are screening 24 students for GT this spring. If you got a packet of information from me, please start collecting samples, inventories, etc.
