"Know Your Why"
Happy New Year!
You all outdid yourself with the signs, balloons, videos, etc. . . to welcome our students back from Winter Break! Thanks so much for all of your effort to let our students know how glad we are to have them back in school. I'm looking forward to another great semester as well. Let me know any way I can help support you with your personal development goals or classroom instruction this next 9 weeks.

Calendar Corrections
- I made an error on the monthly calendar regarding the Mother/Son Game Night. It is scheduled for Friday, January 18, NOT Saturday, January 26. I apologize for the confusion. I will make the correction on our Facebook page and on the weekly all call.
- Also, there will NOT be a PTO lunch next Friday, January 18. Lunch will be provided for staff with perfect attendance for the 2nd nine weeks.
The Week Ahead
Wednesday - Wenning out for Principals' meeting
Thursday - Easy CBM testing
Friday - Mother/Son Game Night 6:00-8:00 pm
Possible Retentions
Remember to schedule meetings with parents by the end of January for any students you are considering recommending for retention. See me for a copy of Light's Retention Scale to complete. Also, according to board policy, an individualized promotion plan must be developed to help the student avoid retention. This plan will be reviewed at the end of the semester before a final decision is made regarding retention.
