Arctic Light K-8
September 23-27, 2019
Hi All,
Week 6... where's your class at with meeting your routines? Remember it takes 20 days to set those routines correctly. That's how much time we have till the end of the first quarter.
Did you see the recent District Digest newsletter? It had quite the batch of Gold Star Teachers. Think about sending in your fellow educator's names as it is a great way to recognize the extra efforts and hard work we do educating our students.
Tuesday's PLC is for reviewing data. The Kindergarten teachers will meet with Stacy. First-Third will meet as a group, probably with Kelly, and I'll meet with 4-8th grades in the Library. The upper grades can review their PEAKs data a bit more in-depth through the District Data Dashboard. The upper grades will also have a few minutes with Sarah Robinson who runs the STEM grant.

Wednesday during our Staff Meeting we'll have time to complete the TOP survey.
Thursday will be our first, Pastries for Parents: 8:15-9:30am. The goal is to connect with parents and share important educational information. Do share with your families but we're having a soft launch as we work out the bugs.
Friday is our District PD Day.

I just want to say thank you to everyone at Arctic Light for the amazing gift of Hot Chocolate, a chocolate bar, and the sweetest card! It truly made my day as this has been my most challenging year as a teacher yet. The support we provide one another is vital during challenging years and I simply want to say thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity!
Happy Equinox,
Thad
