Peek At The Week!
Week of 10/14/19
Principal's Message...
It will be a short, but busy week this week at Peace Dale! Construction for our new Safety Vestibule will begin on Monday and continue through November. They will use protective fencing to keep work areas safe and they have promised that the construction should not interfere with any of our current routines.
Our safety committee will be meeting to review evacuation procedures and plan for our first drill, that will take place in the upcoming weeks. Please reach out or see me with any questions or concerns.
Our faculty meeting this week will begin at 3:20pm. With the help of our PLC facilitators, we will conduct a World Cafe Protocol to gather qualitative data that will help us construct a shared vision. Soon, our school improvement team will analyze this data to craft vision statements. It is exciting to see what we envision for our future and I am looking forward to our next steps with school improvement planning.
I hope everyone has a great SHORT week!
