Team meeting/Staff meeting
TEAM MEETING--For this week's grade level team meetings please be prepared to discuss any TST kiddos or possible new TST referrals.
STAFF MEETING--During the first week of October we have a staff meeting scheduled for Oct. 3rd and early release on the 5th. This is the meeting originally scheduled to be our first strengths training meeting. I will now be in Atlanta at an EdLeader conference on the 3rd. In order to accommodate our trainer and receive this valuable experience we have made an adjustment. Oct. 3rd will be what was planned for the first hour of PYP early release. Nicki will share some pics with you and you will have from 4-5 to work on getting your rooms ready for the site visit. Then for our first hour of early release on the 5th Dr. Jon Spence will be with us to do our strengths training. This will also allow for our teachers that tutor to participate.

Gallup Strengths Finder DUE OCT 2nd
I met with Dr. Spence our trainer yesterday. He has some great things planned for us! I am so excited for you all to experience this fantastic learning! Please be sure you get your strengths finder completed--when you have it completed please send me an email with your top 5 strengths. Next Tuesday from 4-5 might be a good time to sit down and take it -- it is actually pretty enjoyable, unlike a survey:)
Certified staff members---In place of any additional September staff meetings I am asking you to complete the strengths finder during the month of September. Please take the strengths finder by the end of September so we have time to get results back before our first official training.
