The Amazing Race - Educator’s Version...
Teacher Spotlight
We had two great community event nights this week:
Tuesday was the PTA craft night - Thank you to Mrs. Kroenke for all the work put in to make this event happen. Thank you to each teacher who gave of their time to make memories for others.
Thursday was the Challenge Night - Thank you to Coach Cook who puts this event together each year and all the teachers who come out and give of their time to make it happen.
Do you have a idea for a person in the spotlight? Please let me know.
Parent Engagement Part 2
We all know the importance of positive parent engagement, but it can sometimes be difficult to find the time to make those phone calls.
- Personality--One way to engage our students is to share our personalities with our students. Developmentally, many children are very egocentric. It's important our students know us as humans, and to learn about things that make you laugh or that you care about. Then our students will become our allies in bridging gaps between the classroom and the home.
- Persistent--Please don't give up on our families. Keep calling them. Keep sending your newsletters. Keep sending home positive messages. Keep calling to praise. Keep trying to set up meetings.
PTA Craft Night Success!

- If you send a student to the office please make sure they have a pass.
