Nuts and Bolts
April 13-17
Thank you guys for all you do and the updates. We have appreciated you and the school.
The upper el team is killing it with their packets. Everything is so neatly organized in the yellow folder. I so appreciate this and the check list that came with it this week. The google classroom is amazing too. I appreciate their creative efforts in getting this put together and keeping it running so smoothly. It’s been a struggle for me working from home and educating my kids at the same time, but the upper el team has really gone above and beyond to make this easy for parents.
I like the way Jr. High adapted their work as well so we can keep up with who is zooming when. Everyone has really stepped up their game this week.
Thanks for the support everyone!

Instructional Coach Meetings for April
I would like to continue meeting with you as the Instructional Coach- especially during Distance Learning so I can continue to support you as an individual teacher. Please sign up 2 times- we will meet next week and then in two weeks. If you want your assistant to join this is fine- it is up to you. We will be using google hangouts. Once you have signed up, I will send you an invite.
I would like to discuss: How are you? Up until we departed how were you doing with your goals? How can I support you now during this time? What is going good? What have you been surprised about? What have you learned that you can bring back into the school year and classroom next year?

You will become familiar with the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) survey and their implications. Come away understanding common triggers of challenging student behavior experience and how they affect a student’s learning.
