Mrs. Mayer's Monday Morning Memo
April 11, 2016
Happy April
Testing
Last Tuesday and NJPA
NJPA will be here to walk through the Learning Survey with Ann and myself, on May 3rd. We looked at several dates, but due to MCA's, this is the best day for all those involved. Thank you for your flexibility.
I is for Iceberg
This week is brought to you by the letter I:
Teaching content is only the tip of the iceberg of what we do for our students.
WE:
BUILD character,
BOOST self-confidence,
KILL apathy,
IGNITE passion,
CULTIVATE creativity,
PROMOTE perseverance, and
FOSTER empathy.
We do so much more than what a test score could possibly reflect...
WE CHANGE LIVES.

Updates: (First one is new)
* Tornado Drill
We will participate in the statewide tornado drill, this Thursday. If you are not sure about your safe location, please let myself or Charlie know. Thank you.
*MOBILE TECH:
Update coming soon.
* Summer PD Opportunities: There is still room for more people to attend the MN Summit for Greater Learning and Leading, August 9 and 10. All fees paid and you get the staff development pay. Please let me know if you are interested.
* Drills, Drills, Drills: As we find the year coming to an end, we still have a few lockdown, fire, and tornado drills to complete. Remember: Soft Lockdown is the threat is outside the building. Lock doors and continue your routine. Hard Lockdown is a threat inside the building. Lock doors, shut off lights, and get out of sight.
