The Principal's Nest
November 25th, 2018
Welcome Back!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! Is it just me, or do you think one more day was needed =) I am hoping that you had a great time with family, loved ones, friends while enjoying food, fellowship and some good old shopping!
I know you're on the countdown until Christmas Break (20 days away!) But we have a lot to do before then.
I want to remind you all that CogAT testing for 3rd grade will be this week on Tuesday- Thursday
Also, be reminded that the quarter will end on December 21st and I believe, all grades are due no later than January 4th at 8am. Report cards will go home on the 10th. I say all of that to say if you are planning to be out and using Annual Leave for the workdays in January from the 2nd- 4th, you may want to ensure all grades are done by the 21st of December, so you won't be working on them too much during the break. If you are planning to come in on the workdays, this may not be a problem for you. I just wanted to give everyone the heads up so that you can plan accordingly.
Now is the time to start thinking about your supply list for 2nd semester. Remember, that needs to be turned in before you leave for Christmas Break. There is an allotment of $80 per classroom. If you have questions about how to order, please see Mrs. Rice.
FINISH!
I played this video for my family over the break and told them that I understood this woman's push. I know that some of you are tired, and some more tired than others. Carry this woman in your heart until Christmas Break, and until the end of the year. Make up in your mind that you have no other choice but to finish the race. Tune out the naysayers, avoid negative conversations, build yourself up, encourage yourself, and keep your eyes on the finish line!
I don't know this woman's story but I appreciated every second of this clip! I say to you, Wise Owls, FINISH!
