Great things!
Snow day on Monday-Thanks to our blizzard! Hope you enjoyed your extended Thanksgiving break.
Challenge: CD staff challenged staff this week to be willing to "increase opportunities for connection this week by implementing two rituals in the classroom or home." This could include greeting rituals, wish well rituals, or absent child/student rituals.
Dates to remember:
Nov 27: Picture Retakes (retakes and new students)
Nov 28: PAT advisory committee meeting (library 11:30-1:00)
Nov 30: Websites updated
Dec 6: December student birthday pics/cookies
Dec 7: Arts Partners: I'd Rather Be A Hummingbird (10:15/1:45)
Nuts-n-Bolts:
* The announcements for the week are loaded into the shared file. (Susan p.m. friends)
*Next two week announcements: Kristin's class
*Reminder: December faculty meeting is combined with our PD/PLC afternoon this month.
*Families for Christmas assistance are available in the small conference room if you are interested in helping.
*There is a sign up sheet on my window for CD jobs for our December PD/PLC. Please stop by and sign up for a job that sounds fun to you!
*The GAP will be utilizing our large gym for their Christmas Store again this year. It will not be available for use between Dec 5 and 11th.
*If you see a visitor in the building without a visitor sticker/tag- please stop them and ask them if you can help them. We have had several incidents of visitors in the building where they continued down the halls without any of our staff stopping them. It is everyone's responsibility to help out with this. Also, if a visitor has visited your classroom or office-please escort them back to the front office when they leave. Do not let them walk through the hallways by themselves. I appreciate your attention to this safety matter.
*If you are going to be absent or in a meeting and will be unable to do your arrival/dismissal duty--it is your responsibility to find coverage. It helps our procedures run smoothly and safely when you have found someone to help out or made sure the rest of the staff has it handled if you cannot be there.
* Websites will be due to be updated by end of day Nov 30
* November library book shelving duty: Lisa
