Nuts & Bolts
April 29, 2019
Thank you
Thank you to the restorative practices vertical PLC for sharing your new knowledge at Monday's professional learning session. Your presentation was well researched and presented. Thank you, all, for your engagement Monday afternoon.
Early childhood put on 4 successful plays for parents and friends on Friday. Thank you for your hard work in having all students participate in a fun play.
Thank you for your flexibility and patience as the testing sites went down (more than once) this week. Thank you, Megan, for trouble shooting and spending much time on your phone to get testing up and running again.
Thank you, Sarah, for your dedication and hard work in getting a large group of junior high students excited for and prepared to present a play Monday and Tuesday last week. Sarah was also super proactive in finding a suitable venue for their play as we do not yet have a sound system in our new gym/stage space. Thank you to those staff members who supported the students in this endeavor. The students put on an impressive musical play.
This week we will have the gift of music once again with elementary and junior high musical concerts after school. Teachers are not required to attend these evening performances; and, it would be nice for students and families to see you there supporting.
Have a spectacular week,
René
Restorative Practices Professional Learning Feedback
G&C Challenge - Table Manners
I frequently hear that there is a lack of grace and courtesy in our building. Most recently, this was discussed at our advisory meeting. There were several reasons brought up that could be causing this phenomena. I would like us to try to address this by recognizing grace and courtesy when we see it happening.
Thank you for practicing and recognizing G&C last week.
Upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences
Students will be presenting their completed portfolios and progress reports will be given out. Please see Lana if you have questions about portfolios or progress reports.
