Points of Pride
December 17, 2017
Instructional Focus:
Survive the last week of the second quarter :)
Again, keep your schedules and routines in tact as much as possible. Let's finish the quarter strong.
Bathroom Help....
We have a student(s) that have been using the boy's bathroom upstairs, and missing the toilet with #2 (poor custodial staff).
If you have any ideas of who could be the culprit, please let me know.
504 Plans...
FYI, I am now the 504 coordinator for Settler's. If there are any questions, or problems, please reach out to me.
Copier/Printer Install....
Currently, SPE is scheduled to have our new devices installed on January 16. Please know that with these, there will be new procedures/rules put into place. As we get more information, I will pass it along.
Jarred....
Jarred is gearing up to complete his administrative internship with me during the spring semester. Before and after school he has been in my office a lot. If he is in my office, and the door is open, please feel free to come in.
Holiday Hands....
In total, our Holiday Hands fundraiser made $509. Thank you all so much for your support.
We are excited to be able to purchase gift cards through PTSO for our families in need. This should give us enough to help families throughout the year.
Future Math PD's....
A huge thank you goes out to Catherine, Rachel and Eryn for delivering our first PD on the changes in math standards.
Mark your calendar for the following dates, as we are changing around some PLC/PD days:
- January 17-Math Standards PD #2 (not PLC as currently marked in the master calendar). Secret Message: To celebrate the holidays and all your hard work in the second quarter, you are more than welcome to wear jeans this week.
- January 24-PLC Day (not a site PD day as currently scheduled)
- January 31-Math Standards PD #3 (not a PLC)-this will be the last of the math PD trainings.
Carmen Agra Deedy...
In last week's newsletter, I posted the lunch schedule that will be used to accommodate our 3-5th grade field trip.
Please note that to accommodate all of the schools, the district has arranged for the librarians to be off campus all day on January 12. Meaning, there will be no library specials on that date.
This is an art week, so if you are missing library, the computer lab should be open. I recommend signing up for a time slot to accommodate.
PC Refresh....
In last week's newsletter, I included the dates our staff will be getting their new laptops. Remember to mark your calendar, as you will not get your device unless you attend one of the trainings.
Report Cards....
As a reminder, report cards will go out to parents January 10.
