Looking Back
- Long Weekend/Short Week!
- Week 2 was another hit! Thank you!!
- 2 Fantastic Open Houses: feedback was positive and parent(s) left happy and smiling.
Looking Ahead
- Tuesday, Faculty Meeting 1, Library, Review of NGSS lesson with Amy (K-4) followed by brief Goals discussion with Chris.
- Tuesday, Faculty Meeting 2, Art Room, Discussion of behavior and 504 plans (specials & sped).
- Both above Faculty Meetings begin promptly at 8:00 am (please be in the room ready to begin by 8:00)
- Wednesday is Picture Day! Please stick to schedule, help with management and....appearance ;0)
- Thursday, 6:00-7:00 pm is the PTA Ice Cream Social- great event- super opportunity to make connections- attendance, if available, is appreciated.
- We are beginning our search for a music teacher. A committee has been formed (Michelle Hiscavitch, Jenna, Shannon, Tracy G, Sara and me). Interviews and demo lessons are this week.
- If your class can make some nice cards/pictures for the school I partnered with in Texas (TL Pink Elementary School), that would be great- simple, please model and monitor content.
Reminders / General Info
- NWEA is hosting a Color Run to raise money. It is a fun, town-wide family event. We benefit through their grants. Click here for more information.
- Injured Student Protocol: Any notes that come in from parents or doctors regarding student injuries, health and restrictions have to go to Juli. She will then make copies and distribute to all involved. She will inform you of restrictions, when they begin and when they end. Teachers, please assist for the planning of students inside during recess due to injury (a schedule of friends to accompany). Thank you.
- Cafe Reminders: Please do not mix classes in line, line up by type of order and include students names on order form. All this will continue to expedite the time in line. Also, there is a white binder on the utensil rack with student health plans in it with signs and treatment.

Thank you-
Food for Thought: Opportunities to Lead & Learn
Topics and presenters or facilitators will be needed. It does not need to be a presentation. It can be anything from a question posed for discussion, a chapter of a book shared, an article discussed, a successful strategy for instruction or management or parent engagement shared, etc,
Please submit ideas you may want to present or something you would like to learn more about to your grade-level/team leaders before our next Leadership Meeting (9/19).
