Staff Well-being Focus of the Month: Don't have time for potty breaks during the day?! Try this trick to stay healthy!

Need to Know at Sunset Valley:
*Courtesy Committee is now collecting dues for this school year. For those of you that are new to SVE, the Sunset Valley Elementary Courtesy Committee was established to recognize big events (births, weddings, deaths, hospitalizations, retirements) in each others' lives with showers/receptions, or by sending cards/flowers/gifts from the SVE Staff, as well as coordinating other staff celebrations and recognizing staff members as deemed appropriate by the staff.
All SVE staff members are asked to contribute yearly dues at the start of each school year in the following manner:
Full-time Certified staff = $30.00
Classified staff or half-time certified staff = $15.00
** Certified staff members that travel between SVE and another building(s), need only pay dues at whichever school is considered their "home" school.
**Staff members that choose not to contribute yearly dues will only be recognized with a card from the staff for the above mentioned events.
Dues can be given to Kelly Merit or Krista Hall. We would prefer dues be paid in cash this year, although checks can be made out to Kelly or Krista.

-Golden Paws are worth 5 points! Keep this in mind for your classroom goal.
-Announcements on the Focus Area will be made each Monday; with specific expectations.

*Cross-District Wednesday Grade-Level Collaboration:
We have listened to your feedback for more district grade level collaboration! In order to enable grade-level collaboration in smaller team settings, the four Wednesday Cross-District Grade Level Collaboration dates are intended to spend focused time throughout the year on formative/ summative assessments, instructional depth, purposeful technology and innovative conversation around future ready learning. Please join your colleagues from Woodland Elementary and Pleasant Lea Elementary on Wednesday, September 26th at Woodland Elementary from 8:15 to 9:15. * In order to use your time effectively, each team will have a trained teacher facilitator and each meeting will begin and end of time in order to travel back to your respective schools. *See below!
