I did not meet my goal this week and only provided Tower feedback to 2 principals.
An employee of the Ozarks Literacy Council got in touch with me this week and wanted to pass this information on to you. The Basic Literacy Program is about individualized tutoring; it’s just you, the tutor, and your goals. The Ozarks Literacy Council (OLC) offers free one-on-one, curriculum based tutoring for adults and children. Tutoring sessions utilize the Reading A – Z curriculum and focus on the unique needs of each reader. Services are not income based, they are just free. Period. And tutoring always occurs after school in a public place. The best ways to contact the OLC are through the website and phone; http://www.ozarksliteracy.org or 417.616.0505.

*When you use the card, you are the initial reviewer. Upon reviewing the charges, please put in the notes section very brief statement of what the charges were for.
*The App1 is the 1st Approver - generally this is your site secretary.
*The App2 is me as the 2nd/final approver. I cannot approve if the notes section is empty.
Let's throwback for a moment to Summer 2016 at our elementary kickoff. One of the discussions we had was around the concepts presented in the 20 Mile Mile March (click here to watch again...4+ well-spent minutes). As we are now in 4th quarter, take a moment to reflect on your journey up to this point of the year:
Did you have the ambition to achieve, coupled with the self-control to hold back?
Were you high-performing when it was difficult, and able to save some in the tank (cruise control) during the good?
How did you do with working smart and resting well?
How will you work smart for the rest of 4th quarter?
Did you and are you finding joy in the journey? (If the answer is no on this, we need to talk... )
A reminder that there is no Elementary Leadership Team on Wednesday following Senior Leadership Team and an Ignite update.
Finally, below is information about the SLeadership Springfield's Principals of Leadership. It is my goal & expectation that all principals participate in this program. Cohort 5 is coming. If you haven't done this yet, please consider putting your name in the hat.
Looking forward to my continued visits this week and having the discussions around supporting your work. Your impact and influence is tremendous. Keep driving the meaningful learning opportunities and driving the positives into assessment season that is upon us.
