Mitchem's Memo
1/6/2019
Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2019! I hope you enjoyed your holiday break and found time to relax and spend time with your family and friends. I'm looking forward to hearing what some of you found time to do over break.
I plan to keep this memo complete with priority items (including the Bears!), so please find important information for the upcoming week below.
Resetting Expectations
As we return from the extended break, this week is important to resetting classroom expectations. These include academic, routine and behavioral expectations. This "reset" is a whole building effort as we start 2019. Most importantly, help your students set academic goals as we head into the 2nd half of the school year. When they have objectives to strive for, they will rise to the challenge!

Important Reminder
Last year, we had a number of calendar conflicts as we got closer to the end of the school year. I would like to encourage grade level teams to meet and discuss end of the year activities. Once dates have been narrowed down, please send them to Kathy Hailman so they can be entered on the master calendar. Also, continue to inform Cynthia in the lunchroom of any plans that may impact lunch. This is helpful for when she submits her lunch counts.
