Wendy's Notes
Wendy’s Notes:
Thank you staff for ending strong this quarter. It was tough with assessments and working around the flu that has hit ASD and our school. Thankfully, we saw fewer students out last week. We have many special activities to work around this week. Try to keep as much structure and routines as possible to avoid student overload and meltdowns. I appreciate all you are doing to make the week memorable for students, building positive connections to school. I will be out of the building on Monday attending the MTSS training with Barb.
Friday, December 20th is a grading day. All grades should be finalized before you leave for the day. Please communicate with me if you are not able to do this.
We are nearly half way through our year! It always moves so fast! In January, I think I will be close to 25 years in ASD. I really don't know where the time has gone. I would not want to be anywhere but at Kincaid with you and our students.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Starting in January, we would like to recognize a staff member each month for being an awesome asset to our school. Please think about a staff member that has supported you or students and you think this person is pretty special. Write the name of the staff member with a brief description of why you think they should be recognized. The staff member will be recognized during a staff meeting, will receive a plaque for their excellence, and have the privileged Coyote Parking. Anyone on staff can be honored. What you choose to write about the staff member will be read to the person. We will have 5 staff recognized from January-May.
