Ride the Waves of Change
How appropriate that this month's Onward focus is Ride the Waves of Change!! Aguilar shares how patience begins when we accept ourselves and the way things are. To do this, we need courage, equanimity, and trust (or what some might call faith). Patience is not passivity or resignation; it doesn’t prevent us from drawing boundaries around how people treat us. Patience is a kind of power. It can increase your compassion, and help you see the big picture and get clarity on when to act. We've got this, Bulldog Team! Now, more than ever, take time to reflect on your emotions. Note how your mind and body are feeling, why you believe you are feeling that way, and think about how you can transform the impatience into patience.Your perseverance will improve as you improve your patience! You've made it through the initial preparation phase of Distance Learning- and what a tribute to honing in your patience as we ride the waves of change! I'm Not Giving Up!! Are you?!

From the Office
- Thank you for distributing and collecting Acceptable Internet Use forms. Tonight provides the perfect opportunity for us to clarify expectations moving forward in the DL journey.
- If you have students/families needing to pick up supplies next week, please send a list to Mary. Include the date of pickup, student's name, parent name, contact information and location of pickup. While I appreciate individual emails, the list is growing and sending one list per classroom will greatly assist the paper trail! I would hate to miss a family that you've worked so hard to connect with! Thank you!
- Please encourage families to pick up meals at our satellite locations EVEN IF they did NOT originally sign up. We can and will accommodate additions! Thank you!
- Parent Hub: Up and Running! Thank you for attaching grade level links and sharing with families! :)
- Absences: Please record in Frontline. Teaching staff, if you are absent and unable to deliver instruction, please notify your students and families and if needed provide appropriate alternative communication. Paraprofessional staff, if you are absent and unable to complete your assigned duties, please contact your supervisor.
- If your grade level is interested in student planners, please let Mary know by Friday, April 3. Thank you!
- Attendance: Please complete by Friday at 3:45. You need only mark Friday's attendance as a reflection of the week; the office will take it from there!
- If you receive any classroom placement form requests, please forward to Katie. They are due in the office April 24.
- Meetings will continue as planned. Please see the schedule below; links will be shared to join Google Meetings.
PBIS Update
- Wouldn't it be awesome to share virtual Bark Outs? Be thinking of keeping our Big Three as part of your expectations. Students can deliver the tickets upon their return to school!
- Thank you for your support and efforts of PBIS!!
