October 5- Outdoor Learning Experience Install
Welcome back Katie! Mrs. Werner returns this week as Shirley hands over the reigns and we then welcome Shirley aboard in the resource room. Let's all be sure to support Katie as she transitions back!
This week our 1st and 2nd grade classes will be taking the NWEA test in their classrooms. Please be mindful as you pass through halls.
We have a tentative September 4 date set for the installation of the new playground equipment that our PTO has worked very hard to purchase for kiddos. As we hammer out the details, I'll let you know how this might affect some areas of the playground during installation.
We are still moving forward with our October 5 install date for out Outdoor Learning Experience through the Corteva Community Improvement Grant. Our Inquiry Team will be sharing more details on Tuesday.
iVolunteer - Classroom Volunteers List
If you did not get a chance to complete this by the end of last week, please do so before the end of the day Monday!
Welcome back! As we are gearing up for a great school year, I wanted to reach out to make sure it can be as easy for you as possible! This year, I am in charge of coordinating the volunteer needs for the teachers and PTO. I have included a link to the iVolunteer system that we use to coordinate these needs (http://eaglepto.ivolunteer.com/). Last year’s requests are still present for you to review. Please email me and let me know what your needs are for this year as soon as possible so I can update it. If your needs are the same, please just let me know that too and I’ll carry it forward. If it’s easier to chat in person, I’m happy to find a time to meet with you as well.
Thanks!

I keep thinking about his statements about what is "normal?" Just because something is normal for me and my culture does not make it normal for everyone else and their culture. It helps remind me to take a step back and learn from the perspectives of others.
