Westview Weekly
Success for all, whatever it takes!
Issue 25: February 8-12, 2016
Blessings to each of you on this blustery Monday morning!
This is a far cry from Saturday when I was moving in shorts and a sweatshirt. Today, nothing short of a fleeced lined parka seems appropriate. No matter the weather outside, it's a great day for learning at Westview!
Although the structure of the short week will present some obstacles, I know that each of you has diligently planned engaging activities that will make the students forget how cold it is outside and how exciting a 4-day weekend is.
Having a large number of parents and family members in the building is always one of my favorites about being an administrator. This week will bring many opportunities for us to (re)connect with families during classroom parties and Parent/Teacher conferences. I hope that you use this time to celebrate with parents as well as have honest conversations during conferences. Our students are our #1 customer, and we have the chance to demonstrate our best customer service this week.
Should you have any conferences that you would like me, Rita, a reading coach, or counselor to sit in on, please let us know. We relish the opportunity to support you during this time.
Friday will also bring us a time to sit and learn together as a team! I cannot wait to learn alongside you about the 8 Mathematical Practices, and I'm even more excited to watch your team's put the learning into practice during your time together.
While the week may bring some challenges, know that I walk alongside you for each of them. Many blessings to each of you this week.
Educationally yours,
Brandyn
