From the OTL: (Office of Teaching and Learning)
Sessions have been posted in MLP for our annual Wellness Day (March 27) and Next Practices Summit (March 28). Sign up now! We are very excited that A.J. Juliani is joining us for the keynote and additional breakout sessions for the NPS. Click here to hear a bit more about his work and SEVEN things that can happen when student own their learning! Also, if you are interested in pre-ordering a copy of A.J.’s book, Empower, prior to the NPS please email Becky Thomas. The cost will be $17/each. You can read more about it by clicking here. Books will also be available for purchase at NPS.
Please share these reminders with your students:
- Students should not be trading Pokemon or other cards on the buses or in school.
- Smart Watches were a popular Christmas gift. Students may wear them if they are not accessing cell phone features such as calling and texting and as long as they are not a distraction from learning. If students are distracted by their watch, then they will be expected to put it away in their schoolbag. Repeated violations will be treated the same as cell phones - watches will be kept in the office until the end of the day. Next step would be that parents have to come pick it up. Please note: Students may NOT have Smart Watches in their possession during PSSAs.
Due to the number and variety of allergies in the building, students are reminded that there should be no eating on school buses. Also, just a reminder that we are a latex-aware building. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe environment for our students.
Students should be dressed appropriately for winter weather. We go outside for recess unless the wind chill is below 19 degrees.
