Staff Absences
1. Absences need to be entered by 6:30am for them to be able to be put into Aesop. If you have to have an absence after that, you should email or text BOTH Lisa and myself.
2. Substitutes are in high demand. If you are not feeling well or have a sick child, we encourage you to put your absence in AS SOON AS Possible. This makes it more likely for us to get a substitute in a timely manner. If you aren't sure if you should put an absence in, feel free to text me or Lisa. The evening before is always best if possible.
Meet the Royals
I have removed the ones that were completed already. They are scheduled to be posted at 8am each day.

resources for you:
DGS Staff Resources and Dashboard
I would bookmark/star this so you can access it when you need it. Please note this has items like updated classroom fund balances, the daily transportation list, the master calendar and more.
Bist Bytes
The BIST and Second Step timeline for 2019-2020 is HERE. I will also post updates and expectations for each week in the weekly update.
For the week of December 2
Please review ARRIVAL expectations. This includes coming off the bus, during morning meeting, and your transition to your classrooms.
Review Gateway behaviors as a class in a class meeting.
The links below are great resources to review heading into conferences. In fact, I encourage you to use time during PLC next week to practice these strategies in a mock conference with your colleagues. It would be a great dress rehearsal for you!

Positive Office Referrals
You are welcome to celebrate the successes of students at any point this year. You can do so by filling out this FORM or by simply sending me an email that details they're specific success or positive behavior. They will get to ring the bell, sign the wall and have a selfie taken to be displayed outside the office. In most cases, I also call home to share the good news with their parents.
Discipline Dashboard
Maintenance Requests
This helps George, Nancy, and Tom Grimm track building and district requests.
You can ask verbally for a request, but also be sure to send the email. It can be as simple as "Please move desk to stage in my classroom" or "Air Conditioning is leaking."
