BTSN Feedback?
As always, I like to think of the flow of our events and make sure we're doing them as best we can. I wanted to see if anyone had feedback to share re: BTSN. How was the flow? What went well, what could have been better? Feel free to send any thoughts to Amy and/or share during staff time on Wednesday. Thanks!
Jogathon Suggestions/Feedback?
Remind Texts Switching to Blackboard Texts
Apple Classroom Update from Tech Dept:
It seems that the automated process for setting up classes has broken unexpectedly. We are working to get it resolved, but it may require some drastic system changes on our end.
Please let the teachers know that we are working on it, but we currently do not have an ETA on when it will be repaired.
New Picture Company - Mugsy Clicks!
- Outdoor photos (head to the garden when it's your class time!)
- After your students take individual shots, you'll also take a class photo as a group
- Parents can order online so we don't have to deal with forms!
The schedule for picture days can be found here.

Back to School Movie Night & Hot Dog Dinner THIS FRIDAY!
From Nurse Dana
Hi teachers,
I am the new school nurse for Penngrove. I will be at Penngrove on Fridays.
You should have received a list of all students with health concerns as well as their health plan from last year if they had one. I will be working on updating/creating health plans for this school year next week. I will contact you re: review of health plans and training for the students in your class, if needed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your students at this time.
I look forward to working with all of you at Penngrove!

Thank you!

Want help with Self Portraits? (all classes should complete self portraits)
If you would like help with self portraits please sign up for a slot below. I set aside enough time to at least get your students started (lower grades will finish during the session). If you are doing them yourselves please put them in my box or art room when they are finished and ready to hang in multi. If none of the time slots work for you please email me and we can set something up.

Amy's Maternity Leave Info
I am planning and hoping to be at school up until fall break. My last day is currently scheduled for Friday, September 20th. Maureen Rudder will be our Interim Principal. She and I will be communicating closely in the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Maureen will be at Penngrove Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays & Fridays. On Tuesdays, Jenna & Alyssa (our admin designees) will support any site needs.
I will return from maternity leave either January 7 or 21, depending on when BGF (baby girl Fadeji) arrives and how things are progressing at Casa Fadeji. During the months of January - June, I will be job-sharing Mondays ONLY with Maureen Rudder. That means I will work some Mondays in January - June and Maureen will work the Mondays I am not available.
I'll be asking some of you to help with specific roles in my absence. (ex: Ed did assemblies last time, Jamie did the WAG, etc.) If you are interested in any leadership opportunities in my absence, please let me know.
Thanks for your support during this year and always!
Amy
