Monday Message
Staff,
Class placement requests will open for parents on May 6th. PLEASE, PLEASE be careful what you say to parents when they ask you who you think would be the best fit for their child next year. It makes it very difficult when a parent tells me in their request that their child's current teacher thinks they should be in _____'s class. PLEASE just kindly let them know that they would do great in any of the classes.
Last week, the district made us aware that our school will be starting CMI next year. I am excited about this because I have watched what a powerful pedagogy this can be! More details to come shortly!
I have a few summer PD offerings that I am throwing out. The first one is a GAINS Summer Workshop—it is an Arts integration for mental, emotional, and social health. There is a stipend and credits offered for teachers, or planning time teachers. Last year these classes filled up fast, so register as soon as you can.
The second opportunity is the district's LRE Academy— Its purpose is to help prepare teachers by sharing training tools and resources to help students with behavioral challenges succeed in their least restrictive environment. It will take place in the district office boardroom on Thursday, June 27 and Friday, June 28, from 8:30am – 12:00 noon and there will be a $75 stipend for attendees who attend both days. Our school can send 2 teachers (Skills coaches are welcome to apply)...whoever emails me first about it will get it.
I have also attached math and technology summer professional development opportunities, but unfortunately there are no stipends for these. I really do believe summer is a time to rejuvenate, so don't sign up for too many classes:)
Last, I want to congratulate Jennifer James who has taken a job at Payson Junior High teaching math! She will be missed but she will do a fantastic job!
Thanks for all you do!
