Thanksgiving Staff Lunch: We are so thankful for you! You make Ridgeview an amazing place to be! As a small token of our appreciation, Jessica and I will be providing a yummy pizza lunch next Thursday.
Celebrations: There are so many great things going on that I had to add a few more pictures this week! What did YOU do today that you are proud of? Celebrate! Pass it on :)
Leader in Me: On December 19th we will have a Leadership Assembly at 1:30. Each grade level will share their service project so our students can see the powerful gifts Ridgeview students have to give. See your BLT reps for details.We will run our early release special schedule that day.
PTA Holiday Shoppe: PTA is again running a holiday shopping experience (with many improvements from last year) for our students. December 8th is the preview with shopping Dec. 9th, 10th and 11th. Parents will have a chance to shop the evening of the 11th. We'll provide you with a detailed schedule soon.
Staff Holiday Party: Save the Date for December 13th at 5:30 and sign up in the office. We hope you can join us!
Reminders:
December Collab: Bring examples of how you provide feedback and track student growth to share with your colleagues. This should not be "extra" work, but rather a snapshot of what you are doing that works.

Grade Level Work
BIST: Great ideas were shared so we can support students in going through the think sheet process. The purpose of the think sheet is to reflect on what you did and what you could do differently. This allows our students to benefit from the purpose and get to the learning and problem solving. "Own it, Fix it, Learn from it"
