Words of Inspiration
"Take time to invest in yourself as much as others... By doing so, I have seen that the impact I can have on others is greater when I am in a better place and space."
- Jimmy Casas
A Special Applause to...
PD on the Fly...
Over the summer we were in a meeting and Jay described the Greene School as "The Lab." He went on to talk about how so many teachers get an idea and run with it. There are too many innovative practices that I have seen come to life to name. In this article, Jennifer Gonzalez talk about schools living in Beta. As she says in the article, you are encouraged to, “Release early, release often” — lifts up the notion that continuous improvement is way better than eternally holding out for perfection."

Info for the Staff
TAKING ATTENDANCE IN SPECIALS CLASSES
It is imperative that you take attendance in every class. You should be viewing class lists via ProgressBook. Student schedules are changing and that is the most up to date list. If there is a student missing from your class, contact the main office at the beginning of the bell. If there are students in your class who should be in another class, either help them find the class they are supposed to be in or send them to the main office and we will help.
STAFF MEMBER OF THE MONTH
We need your help! There are so many great things going on at the Greene School. Help us show a little appreciation by nominating a colleague for the Staff Member of the Month Award. Click HERE to complete the nomination form.
FIRST FRIDAYS
We will be having our initial "First Friday" on Friday, September 7th. Please click HERE to view the bell schedule. A PBIS lesson will be sent to you at the beginning of the week for your review and use during this time. Thank you to Ms. Lopez, Ms. Ganz, and Ms. (Holly) Cummings for their work in creating the lesson. If you have questions, please see Mr. Meno or Ms. Brubaker.
We will continue to have our PBIS Lottery on First Fridays. Each team should share with their students the option of placing First Class Passes in their team buckets for the lottery drawing. These buckets need to be brought up to the office on those Fridays for our drawing. Each team will have one student and one teacher winner. Jimmy John's is sponsoring this event now and each student winner will receive a Free Sandwich Card. Our teacher winner will receive a Late Arrival Pass. Both student and staff winners will be welcome to come to my office during that morning for a treat prepared by our own Ms. Georgia.
SEARCHING THE BOARDING PASS
Jimmy asked a great question during the evaluation meeting today. In case you didn't hear, one of the benefits of having the Boarding Pass as an email was that you could easily search for past items. After testing with the new format, you are still able to search in your email for past Boarding Passes. HERE is a link to all past Boarding Passes and Parent Newsletters if you would also like to see them in one spot.

PTO/PTO Luncheon/Sunshine Money
There is still time to join the PTO, pay for the luncheon and pay your Sunshine dues!
PTO=$5, PTO Luncheon= $10, Sunshine=$25.
Field Trip Guidelines - Please see the information below from Mike Miller, Transportation Director for Sycamore Schools.
First, all academically-related field trips must contain the appropriate signatures (Teacher, Supervisor, Building Administrator, Ass't. Superintendent). We have been instructed not to arrange buses for trips that do not have the necessary signatures.
Secondly, field trips should only be scheduled between 9:15 AM and 2:00 PM. If you wish to have an exemption to this, you must contact either myself or Tony Huber for approval. Depending on the desired time, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to grant the exception.
Finally, the last day for field trips will be Friday, May 3rd, 2019 (this does not include the Senior Walk, Graduation Practice or Building Move-Up Days). We will look at in-district, academically-related trips (such as the Symmes Nature Trail) on a case-by-case basis. We will not be able to accommodate building incentive-related recreational trips after May 3rd (SJH Field Day is the exception).
