Information
- PTO Update: the meeting scheduled for 9/6 was rescheduled to 9/20 - that means a delay on review of "Mini-Grants" (bummer) but also means more time to submit!
- Don't forget to check out the book bins in the lounge for resources to support conversations about our LADSE Multi-Needs classroom and its students; if you read one that you love and think should be a part of our permanent collection, share it!

Shout Outs!
A few, of MANY:
- Lisa Gilles for a Shout Out for doing a great job rolling out the new Fastbridge screener for Kindergarten and First Grade. Lisa is extremely thorough when assessing students. She always wants to make sure that all of our students get what they need. :)

Need Some Teacher Inspiration?
Check out this article from a hands-down fav blogger: Jen Gonzalez of the Cult of Pedagogy. This one is all about "Four Research-Based Strategies Every Teacher Should Be Using", and it's both inspiring and affirming.
