Thought for this week- "A Teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, touches a heart."

- End of Year Checklist: Is attached below- please do not leave for the summer without handing this into the office.
- AESOP: It is a busy time of year for people needing substitutes. Please enter your absences into AESOP as soon as you know about them, the earlier the better!

Professional Learning 2019-2020
The regional PL day on October 14 will focus on Social/Emotional learning. One keynote speaker and presenter will be Mike Andersen, a leading voice in "teacher talk." Everyone is being encouraged to read his book before this day in October. At KCS, we will be focusing on his book, "What You Say and How You Say It Matters," and Ross Greene's book, "Lost at School," during our faculty meetings and in-house PL days to support our work with embedding social/emotional learning into our classrooms. I will be purchasing both of these books before the close of the school year for those of you who would like to get a head start over the summer.
Non-certified staff: You are invited to join us in the professional learning with the Mike Andersen book- please sign up on the document below if you would like me to purchase you a book. The schedule for this learning will come out at the start of next year.
Please do this by Tuesday, June 11
