Happy Friday!
Thank you all for being such a wonderful staff to work with. We hope you all felt extremely appreciated this week as parents and students showered you with thanks. You all make such an incredible difference every day! Thank you for all you do!
Reminder...no Specials on Monday due to STAAR testing. We would also appreciate if you could keep students quiet as they travel through the hallway Monday-Wednesday.
Please make sure to have your placement cards ready and filled out completely before your placement meeting! You must have dots AND programming filled out (not one or the other).
Have a great weekend!
Lauren, Maggie, and Marianne
Summer Garden Days!
We need help watering the Parkside Garden this summer. We are asking for families to volunteer for one week of garden care. Your week begins on Monday!
What does helping with the garden require?
- Please water at least 3 times over the course of your week. (Ideally 2 times during the week and once on the weekend.)
- Water the raised garden beds and sensory garden.
- Give the trees, bushes and plants around the garden a good soaking.
- Watering before 10am or after 6pm is best.
- Weed if you like!
**You are welcome to any produce that is ready for picking during your watering week!**
Contact Stacie Cary if you need help figuring out the water/key system! stacie@staciecary.com.
Thank you for your help - Garden club will start up next school year!
Leander ISD is built upon a foundation of support, collaboration, and the sharing of best practices.
One of the ways that we exemplify this is through LISD’s annual Continuous Improvement Conference, slated for October 14 & 15, 2019. To ensure that the conference continues to be a place for us to share, explore, and learn from one another, we need your contribution!
Please consider submitting a session proposal by completing this Google Form:
2019 Conference - Call for Proposals by May 31st.
All sessions should align to one (or more) of the following strands:
- High-Quality Teaching & Learning
- PLCs
- Leadership Development
- Culture & Vision
- Health, Wellness, & Safety
- Support Staff & Systems
The session proposal planning guide will help you think through some key decisions prior to completing the proposal form. Additionally, you can access some example titles, descriptions, and tips for writing your proposal.
Thank you in advance for being a part of the 2019 Continuous Improvement Conference. Your willingness to share is the heart of the conference and the embodiment of continuous improvement!
