The Polser Pride
Week of May 13th - May 17th, 2019
What's Happening this Week?
What an amazing week of Staff Appreciation! I hope you all were "appreciated" by all of your students, and families. Please know I appreciate everything you do every day! 8 1/2 more days to go. I know it will be a crazy 8 1/2 days. We have lots happening with STAAR, Recognition Rallies, EOY Parties, etc. however we do want to finish STRONG.
Make sure we are utilizing positive reinforcers, movement breaks, engaging activities, etc. to limit behavior issues with the disruption of packed up classrooms, boxes, etc. Let's all pray that our students work hard this week on their testing; lots of encouragement is needed with it being the week before the last day of school.
Monday, May 13th, Tuesday, May 14th, & Wednesday, May 15th are closed to visitors for all grade levels. 3rd and 4th Grade and 5th Grade re-testers will test this week. Thank you in advance to all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers to prepare our students for success.
Wednesday, May 15th is our Faculty Meeting/White Coat Ceremony. We will honor 11 faculty members! I am so excited! Friday, May 17th is our National STEM Recognition Ceremony. The LISD School Board and Dr. Rogers will be in attendance. Please wear professional attire on that day and encourage your students to wear their house shirts. Those who have received their white coats, we will wear these for our picture on Friday.
Tracy and I will come around to speak with our STEM Certified staff to get a quick video clip from each of you on Monday. What you learned or what you like best about the certification; 15 seconds or less!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day. Please feel free to leave after all of your students have left for the day.
Thanks for all you do,
Lisa
